New Delhi: Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia in a video conference on Friday prohibited all private schools in the city from revising their fee structure and charging transportation fees from the students amid the COVID-19 lockdown period.
Sisodia said the government has taken this decision after it came to light that private schools were increasing their fee, even when the country is facing such a difficult time.
“Education and economy were worst affected by the COVID-19 crisis. We are taking online classes and taking various steps to ensure education to the students of government school.”

Delhi education minister Manish Sisodia made the announcements saying that the government has received multiple complaints from parents about schools revising fee structure without taking prior approval from the government.
Sisodia warned the schools of action under the Disaster Management Act presently enforced in the city in view of the coronavirus outbreak.
He also said that all schools will have to pay salaries to all the staff — teaching and non-teaching — on time. “If there is any fund crisis, they can take money from the parent organisation.”
