Telangana Proposes 8% School Fee Hike Every 2 Years
The Telangana government is thinking about a new rule for private schools.
They want to allow schools to increase fees by up to 8% every two years.
If schools want to increase fees more than this, they need to ask special committees for permission.
Private schools are not happy with this idea.
They want to be able to increase fees by 5% every year without asking for permission.
Some parents are also upset because some schools are increasing fees by a lot every year.
Parents want the government to help them by making a special phone line to complain about fee issues.
Telangana proposes capping school fee hike at 8% every 2 years.
Any increase beyond 8% requires approval from regulatory committees.
Private schools demand annual 5% fee hike without prior approval.
Parents report some schools increasing fees by 50-80% annually.
Parents request a complaint helpline for fee-related issues.
