AAP Voices Opposition to Delhi School Fee Regulation Bill
A new bill about school fees in Delhi has been criticized by the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP).
AAP says the bill might help private schools more than parents.
They want changes, such as more parents helping to make decisions and elections to choose them.
They want to stop schools from raising fees until they've shown their finances are in order.
The AAP also believes it should be easier for parents to complain, and parents shouldn't lose the right to go to court if they disagree with fee decisions.
AAP criticized the Delhi School Fee Regulation Bill, alleging it favors private school owners.
AAP proposes amendments including increased parent representation and elected representatives.
AAP wants a fee freeze, prohibiting fee hikes above 2024-25 levels until audits are complete.
AAP objects to complaint submission rules requiring signatures from 15% of parents.
The bill currently removes parents' right to challenge the fee committee's decision in court.
