Delhi cm Rekha Gupta Orders Probe Into Private school Fee Hike, Expulsions At Jan Samvad Event
Delhi chief minister Rekha Gupta has ordered an inquiry into the alleged arbitrary fee hikes and student expulsions by private schools.
Responding swiftly, delhi chief minister Rekha Gupta directed the education Department officials to launch an immediate investigation and take strict action against those found guilty. Gupta said, "Parents of children from some schools are constantly meeting me and telling me their problems. No school certainly has the right to harass any parent or child, threaten to expel them from school, or increase the general fees."
There are rules and laws for this, which are very important to follow. If any school is found violating this, then it will have to bear the consequences. We have issued notices to all the schools against which we are receiving complaints," she said
She also shared a video of the development on X (formerly Twitter), reaffirming her government’s firm stance on transparency and accountability in education. In her post, cm Gupta stated, "The delhi government is fully committed to ensuring transparency, equal opportunities, and the protection ofchildren's rights in the education sector. We follow a zero-tolerance policy against injustice, exploitation, or irregularities — no leniency will be tolerated."
