Will not bow under any Pressure, No Permission to Increase Fees in Schools: Manish Sisodia

Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia has said that Private schools are not allowed to increase their fees.Announcing the withdrawal of the earlier permission granted to the Sanskriti School, Mr. Sisodia said,  that the Kejriwal government will not bow down to any pressure and we are taking this decision based on some serious complaints received from the parents of the Sanskriti School.

Mr. Sisodia said, “Chief Minister and I have already received multiple complaints from parents regarding Sanskriti School doubling its fee. The school increased its fees by almost 75 percent which is unacceptable. Therefore, after consultation with CM Arvind Kejriwal, we are revoking the order issued for Sanskriti School regarding increasing the fee.”

According to Dy CM, there were lapses found in the functioning of the Sanskriti School. He said, “Under the system called GAAP, it is necessary to follow a special system of accounting and audit but the Sanskriti School did not follow it. Also, there was no need to increase the fees as the school already had a surplus amount which they gained during 2017-18, due to which their proposal to increase the fee was rejected by the Delhi Government.” He further added, “During the same year, we directed this school to pay the teachers under the Seventh Pay Commission from the surplus amount and not to put this burden on the students. But the school did not comply with this order.”

Mr. Sisodia said, “The school has not followed the Supreme Court order regarding depositing the development fund in a separate account. For all of these reasons, Sanskriti School cannot be allowed to increase the fees. Also, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, no school is allowed to collect any amount other than the tuition fee.”
