To implement the provisions of the proposed Bill from the current academic session, the government has decided to promulgate an Ordinance since no session of the State Legislature is in progress.
In a major decision, the Yogi Adityanath Cabinet on Tuesday approved the draft of Self-Financed Independent Schools (Regulation of Fees) Bill 2018 to tighten noose around schools charging staggering fees from students-parents.
To implement the provisions of the proposed Bill from the current academic session, the government has decided to promulgate an Ordinance since no session of the State Legislature is in progress. After Cabinet's nod, it will be sent to Governor for promulgating it in an Ordinance form.
The new ordinance will be effective on all CBSE, ICSE, UP Board-run private schools, including minority institutions, charging Rs 20,000 fees annually from students up to Class XII.
Under the new ordinance, no private school can charge admission fees every year or the entire fees in one go. The admission fees would charged only once at the time of the admission and second time after the student pass out Class X.
It has made mandatory for all schools to upload the statement of total fees realized on line at their websites by December 31 each year to bring transparency in fee regulation. School managements will also have to upload their balance sheets.
The Cabinet has also decided to set-up Fee Regulation Committees at the commissioner level in all zones across state. The Committee will have all legal power to resolve fee related disputes.
The Deputy Chief Minister Dr Dinesh Sharma, who is also State Education Minister, said that the present government has taken a major step on Tuesday to bring in qualitative changes in the education system of Uttar Pradesh.
“Provisions in the Ordinance will not only regulate fee structure in all private schools across state much to the relief of the parents and students but also bring in changes in imparting quality education,” reacted Dr Sharma, the man behind the ordinance.
