Mann termed the Fee Regulatory Act-2016 as an eye wash and said that till the time the regulations of Hon’ble Supreme Court and Punjab and Haryana High Court are not included in the act, it will remain toothless. He stressed upon restructuring of the act to benefit the parents of students. Mann said that as per CWP 20516/2016, thye schools cannot charge re-admission fee from the students.
The AAP president Fee Regularity Act is not clear about the annual 8% increase in tuition fee but the private education providers are charging hafty amounts from the students. He accused the successive governments of turning noble cause of education into business. Mann said that the states are even violating the Right to Education Act of centre govt. and depriving poor children of education.
Mann said that the state govt. must learn from AAP lead Delhi govt that under the guidance of Arvind Kejriwal is doing great work in the field of education. He said that the teachers from state must be sent to Delhi to learn Kejriwal model of education.
