Delhi Assembly passes key bill to regulate fees in private schools
Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta said the Bill would bring transparency to the education system and restore public trust.
Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta said the Bill would bring transparency to the education system and restore public trust. She described it as a realistic and decisive law that would safeguard the rights of millions of parents in Delhi. The Bill, she said, would not only curb the arbitrary actions of private schools but also lay a new foundation of transparency, fairness, and accountability in the education system. It was passed in the Assembly by a majority vote.
Education Minister Ashish Sood provided detailed information on the Bill in the House and termed the opposition's allegations baseless and false.
During her address, Gupta voiced the pain and concerns of Delhi’s parents and congratulated Education Minister Ashish Sood for bringing the Bill forward after consulting education experts, organisations, and parents in such a short time. She said that while Delhi may be the capital of India, its soul resides in the middle-class lanes, cramped flats, and the dreams of parents who sacrifice their own aspirations for the future of their children.
“Education cannot be allowed to become a means of profiteering,” she said.
