Madhya Pradesh Schools: Few Share Fee Details Online
In Madhya Pradesh, many private schools need to share their fees online.
Out of almost 35,000 schools, only about 10,200 have followed the rules.
These rules say that if a school charges more than Rs 25,000 each year, they have to show a breakdown of their fees, like how much is for tuition or the library.
Schools charging less must still provide a statement.
If schools don't follow these rules, the government can take action.
The government is also working to stop schools from making students buy things like uniforms from specific shops, and schools have to show all fees and expenses clearly.
About 10,200 of approximately 35,000 private schools have uploaded fee details.
Schools charging over Rs 25,000 annually must upload a detailed fee structure.
Schools charging less than Rs 25,000 must file an affidavit.
District-level committees can take legal action against non-compliant schools.
Schools must display fees and expenses, including uniform and transport costs.
