The committee of determining and regulation of the fees of private schools (FFRCs) in Jammu and Kashmir has prevented private educational institutions on Tuesday from demanding security deposits or demanding any unauthorized entry fee from parents. He warned that such action violates statutory rules and implements unfair financial stress on families.
In the official circular Justice Sunil Hali, Chairperson JKFRC said that complaints have been received by the committee that some private educational institutions have allegedly charged “safety” from parents or parents at the time of admission of their wards, which are in exchange for entry fees. This practice is arbitrary and is seen as an indirect attempt to bypassing the statutory provisions and fees established under the law.
“In this regard, the Jammu and Kashmir School Education Act, 2002, especially Section 20-C is attracted to Section 20-C, which restrictions any fee or fee collection by private schools without pre-approval from fees fixation and Regulation Committee (FFRC). In addition, rules 8 (2) of any collection, not off collection, fixation, fixation, fixation and regulation, fixation, fixation, fixation, fixation, fixation, fixation, fixation, fixation, fixation, fixation, fixation, fixation, fixation, fixation, 202222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222. And the annual fee approved by the regulation, Hali said
The chairman said that the heads of all private educational institutions working in the center area of Jammu and Kashmir are advised to strictly follow the sanctioned fee structure and avoid implementing any unjust financial burden on the parents.
He said, “Parents/guardians who have already deposited any amount under the title of security deposits or any other unpublished fee head, directed to this committee to carry forward a formal complaint and file a formal complaint. The identity of the complainants will be strictly kept confidential,” he said.
