BENGALURU: In open viola-tion of the RTE Act rules, aschool here is collecting feesfrom students admitted un-der the 25 per cent reservedquota and is even issuingchalans for the same.

RTE quota students atGoodwill Girls High School inFraser Town have been payingfees every year ever since theyjoined the school. A parent,whose daughter is in class 3,said the school had been col-lecting the fees right from class1. “In class 1, the school collect-ed about Rs 2,000 and in theclass2,aboutRs5,000.Inclass3, it hiked the fees to about Rs6,000.Ifwedonotprotestnow,it will go on increasing the feesnext year and the year afterthat,” said the parent, who re-fused to be named, fearing ac-

tion from the school.Deccan Herald has a copy of

thechalanissuedtothestudent,which asks her to pay Rs 6,136under heads such as ‘adminis-trative charge, uniform, books,computer, infrastructural de-velopment and others’. Similarchalanshavebeenissuedtosev-eral other students admittedunder the 25 per cent quota.

Another parent, whosedaughter was admitted undertheRTEreservedquotainclass3, said that the school chargedregularstudentsRs13,000andthose under the RTE quota Rs6,136. “The school stopped ad-mitting students under the re-served quota from this year,”the parent added.

Speaking to Deccan Herald,Vani, the headmistress of theschool,said:“Wearenotcharg-ing any tuition fees for thesestudents. The amount beingcollected is meant for books

and uniform. In any case, thegovernmenthasn’t reimbursedus for admitting students un-der the RTE quota for the lasttwo years.” The State govern-ment pays Rs 11,848 for eachstudent in class 1 and Rs 5,924forthoseinthepre-school level.Anumberofschools havecom-plained about the delay in re-imbursement.

Niranjan Aradhya V P, Fel-low, Centre for Child and Law,National Law School of IndiaUniversity (NLSIU), said theschool’sactionincollectingfeesamountedtoa“grossviolation”of the rules and an “injustice”to the students.

V Ramesh, Block EducationOfficer, North Zone-3, underwhose jurisdiction the schoolfalls, said a committee hadbeen formed to look into thematter and a report would beprepared in a few days.DH News Service
