The Delhi Government has issued notices to all the schools in the national capital against complaints of exorbitant fees and harassment of parents and students. Talking to media in New Delhi, Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta today said that no school has the right to harass any parent or child, threaten to expel them from school or increase the general fees.
She said that the state government would not tolerate any such actions. The Delhi Chief Minister further mentioned that any hike in school fee must be introduced within the existing rules and laws and any school found violating this will have to bear the consequences.
In a video shared by news agency ANI, Gupta said, “Parents from various schools have been approaching me with serious complaints. Let me make it clear—no school has the right to harass any parent or child, or threaten them with expulsion or fee hikes.”
“There are laws and regulations in place, and they must be followed. Any school found violating these norms will face strict action. We have already issued notices to several schools against which complaints have been received,” Gupta further added.
The CM’s remarks come amid growing outrage over disturbing allegations against a private school in Delhi.
