The Story in Brief
The Telangana School Education Department has ordered all private unaided schools to upload their class-wise fee structure and supporting documents on the department's portal. Director of School Education E. Naveen Nicolas has instructed Regional Joint Directors and District Educational Officers to follow up with school managements to display the current academic year's fees.
Schools must also upload the deliberations and documents used to fix fees, along with Governing Board members' signatures. Officials must issue show-cause notices to schools that fail to display the fee structure on notice boards or submit details on the portal. The exercise aims to curb alleged exorbitant fee hikes.
The Indian Opinion
This directive is welcome but remember past circulars that gathered dust. The real test is enforcement. Will officials actually issue those show-cause notices to influential school managements, or will the portal become another data graveyard? The number of schools penalised in the next quarter will tell us if this is genuine reform or just optics.
