Even after three weeks of the UP (fixation of fees) ordinance being enacted, parents of students studying in private schools in Gautam Budh Nagar are still waiting for the constitution of the division-level committee mandated in the ordinance to regulate fee hike by schools and hear complaints about the same from parents.
Most of the parents have already paid the fees hiked by the schools and those who haven’t are waiting for the schools to either roll back the fee hike or come out with fresh fee structure according to the fee ordinance.

While some of the schools, including Cambridge and Bal Bharati Public School have sent emails to the parents saying that they have received a copy of the ordinance and are looking into their details. Most of the schools in Gautam Budh Nagar are yet to come out with any such notice.

Most institutions have already hiked fees with many resorting to a hike higher than as mandated in the ordinance, which takes 2015-16 as base year for the hike. It states that fee increase can be “equivalent to average percentage per capita increase of monthly salary of teaching staff of previous year provided fee increase shall not increase by latest available yearly percentage increase in consumer price index+ five % of fee realised from the student.”

He said “I will direct the joint directors (education) of Meerut to share the details of members of the committee.
