Telangana schools not to hike fees for the academic year 2020-21

While addressing a press conference, Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao said schools should hike their fees for the academic year 2020-21 because of the hardships caused by the COVID-19 breakout. As mentioned in the Government Order (GO) these instructions apply to all private unaided recognized schools in the state which are affiliated to State Board, national boards like Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE), Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations (CISCE) and other international boards in the state. The CM also ordered the landlords not to collect the rent for March, April and May. The government has also warned the schools that non-compliance in any form will result in the cancellation of school recognition. If schools do not comply, the government said, it will also result in revoking the no-objection certificate already granted to the schools and appropriate action will be taken against the management of the school as per relevant Acts/Rules.
