Amid the Corona crisis, the High Court has reprimanded the school administration for charging exorbitant fees. Schools cannot force parents to pay fees until school starts. The DEO will have to take action if the school is not forced to pay the fees. A non-disclosure petition was filed in the High Court under pressure from schools to pay students fees during Corona's difficult times.
The Corona epidemic is currently running across the country, including Gujarat. Corona is affecting many people in business and employment. On the other hand, many schools are demanding school fees for their children. The state government has given great relief to the parents who are in financial crisis.
The state education department has passed an important resolution on school fees, ordering schools not to ask for fees until school starts by 22 March. If parents have paid fees other than tuition fees, they have been ordered to pay compensation at the beginning of school.
Not only this, if the fee is not paid, the admission is also ordered not to be canceled. "All schools in the country have been declared closed since March 16 due to the Corona epidemic," the resolution said. The lockout was announced from time to time by the central government.
Schools were closed in that situation. Even in the present case, there is a ban on starting educational institutions as per the instructions of the Central Government in this regard. The new academic session of the schools in the state was to start from June 8, but the schools could not actually start as per the above instructions.
However, in order to impart home-based education to the students, the state government has issued instructions to carry out educational work under Home Learning with a resolution of 5 June. Which is binding for all schools.
The Education Department notification of July 17, 2020 has provided a fee for optional activity facilities, according to which the fee for the same can be charged only from the students who are taking advantage of such activity.
When schools are closed, the fees set by the school for additional activities will not be charged from any student until the school starts regularly. If a parent has paid such a fee, this fee will have to be reimbursed in the fees when schools start regularly.
This means that no fee can be charged for the services provided by the school.
