No student to be struck off from School Rolls for Non-payment of School Fee: HC
| Education Jagat - 01 Aug 2020
The Punjab and Haryana High Court said the names of students will not be struck off the rolls of private schools in Punjab on account of non-payment of fee. The interim relief came during a hearing by the division bench of the high court, following an appeal filed by the state government.
The move comes as a major relief for parents of students of private unaided schools who had expressed financial difficulty in paying a fee for the lockdown period, and whose wards were consequently facing threats of being removed from schools, as per the state government’s statement. The Punjab government had filed a plea in the division bench of the high court against the order of a single judge allowing private schools to collect fee irrespective of whether they were offering online education or not, and to charge actual expenses incurred, for the lockdown period.
