The Karnataka School Education and Literacy Department has directed private unaided schools to mandatorily publish grade-wise fees on notice boards and school websites, and submit them to the department. In Telangana, the School Education Department has mandated that private schools upload their class-wise fee structure for the 2026-27 academic year on the departmental portal, school notice board and website, as per a circular from Director E Naveen Nicolas. Schools in Telangana must also submit supporting documents signed by governing body members. Officials have been told to issue show-cause notices to non-compliant schools. Parent groups such as the Hyderabad School Parents Association have welcomed the move, hoping it will curb arbitrary fee hikes and improve transparency.
