Andhra Pradesh Schools Oppose Fee Reimbursement Plan
Some private schools in Andhra Pradesh are upset with the government.
The government wants to pay them back for the cost of educating kids from poorer families, as required by law.
These schools don't like how much the government wants to pay.
They say the amount is unfair and doesn't cover their costs.
They also say the government still owes them money from the past three years.
The schools worry they might have to close because of the financial strain.
They want the government to fix the reimbursement amount and pay what they owe.
This is creating disagreement between the schools and the government about money for educating children.
Unaided private schools in Andhra Pradesh are opposing the government's proposed fee reimbursement amount.
The reimbursement is for students admitted under the RTE Act's Section 12(1)(c).
The government formed a committee to decide the "per child expenditure" amount.
School management associations object to the proposed school classification and demand proper reimbursement.
They cite pending reimbursements from the last three years and potential school closures.
