Following allegations that private schools are seeking full costs for the academic years 2021-22, Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has directed schools to only collect tuition fees in accordance with prior years’ standards. Furthermore, owing to the coronavirus pandemic, there will be no increase in tuition rates from last year because lessons will be delivered online.
Private school courses began on June 15, however it has been claimed that the school administration has withdrawn students from the online class whose parents have not paid their tuition. In addition, several private schools have increased their tuition by 10% to 20% from the previous year.
As a result, the parents’ organisation has written to CM, demanding that he issue a clear order prohibiting private schools from raising prices. They’ve also asked that instead of yearly fees, enrollment fees, computer costs, sports fees, and other expenses, schools merely charge tuition. There is virtually little probability of conducting physical lessons for school kids with the potential of a third wave of Covid-19.
The schools in MP have also started the admission process for the academic sessions 2021-22 from July 1. Schools have also been opened for staff from the same day, however, the classes will continue to be conducted in online mode through WhatsApp and other platforms. The government had already instructed the schools’ staff and faculty members to get vaccinated before re-opening of schools. The higher education institutes across the state are supposed to resume working from August.
Meanwhile, the MP education board is also prepping up to announce the board exam result shortly. The evaluation criteria have already been announced by the board. The result will be prepared based on the previous years’ performance.
