More than 400 complaints against Private Schools in Madhya Pradesh; state govt orders & reiterates 'no denial to online education'

Complaints about fees against private schools are continuously coming up. Parents of students studying in private schools have even met the Minister of State for School Education seeking relief.

After meeting, the minister asked to meet officials of education department. Further, as decided and instructed in the meeting, education department issued a notice to all the private schools in the state.

The department said that even if the fees of a child are not deposited, private schools will not be able to deprive them of online classes or exams. Further, it added that necessary action will be taken against the schools whose complaints have been received.

However, in respect of fees, orders have already been issued by the High Court and the government that lump sum fees will not be collected from the parents. Also, only educational fees will be charged.

Despite this, private schools are pressuring parents to pay lump sum fees. Parents had also complained to the Collector against two-three private schools in Indore district.

Nearly 400 complaints from private schools

After the Corona period, about 400 complaints from private schools have been received with the District Education Officer and MP Child Rights Protection Commission regarding fees. Many orders have been issued by the regime since the Corona period, but still parents are upset with no action against the private school.

“We have received several complaints from parent associations and requisite instructions have been given to officials for ensuring that no child is denied online education in absence of fee payment. District education officers have been ordered to investigate the matter and clarify the situation,” KK Dwivedi, Director, DPI (Directorate of Public Instruction), said.
