The Assam government today proposed to regulate the fees charged by private schools and revise their fee structures with penalties of up to Rs 10 lakh and withdrawal of registration for violators.
On behalf of the Education Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Chandra Mohan Patowary today introduced The Assam Non-Government Educational Institutions (Regulation of Fees) Bill, 2018 in the state Assembly.
In his statement, Sarma said: "As there is pressing demand from various individual guardians of the students and the association for fixation of fees, it has been decided to constitute Fee Regulatory and Fee Revision Committees to fix the maximum fees."
