Amid long-standing complaints of parents or guardians over irregular and exorbitant fee hikes by private, unaided schools in the national Capital, Delhi Education Minister Ashish Sood on Monday said the government will take strict action against private schools that arbitrarily hiked their fees. He accused the previous AAP government of turning a blind eye to such a practice. The minister said a list of such schools has been compiled and each will be inspected. Based on the findings, necessary action will follow.
“Sub Divisional Magistrates (SDMs) led committees have been formed to collect audit reports from all 1677 private schools. The committees include Tehsildars and accounts officials to ensure thorough and impartial investigations,” Sood said while addressing a press conference here
