Nagpur: The state government in August 12 August directs all schools to cut their 2021-22 costs by 15% will be challenged in court, saying the school association.
The GR also clarifies that all-related disputes costs now need to be placed before the Division Cost Settings Committee (DFRC) and the decision will be final.
Sanjay Tayde-Patil, President of the Maharashtra English Schools Trustees Association (META), said the state was only ‘optical illusion’.
“The government misleads parents and creates cracks between them and schools.
Let’s all be very clear that the government does not have the power to interfere in cost problems.
We will definitely approach the High Court and ask for staying in this special gr,” Tayde said – Patil.
Rajendra Singh, President of the Independent British School Association (IESA), said, “We approach the court next week.
This is just a populist step without the legal foundation.
There is no legal basis for gr and everyone knows that it is outside the ambit law.” Unaided school forums , which has challenged the same gr of May 2020, also approached the court for alleged abuse by educational officials.
SC Kedia, the Honorary Secretary of the USF, said, “Our members are threatened regularly by educational officials with NOC cancellation, which must be extended every three years.
Our draft petition is ready and the legal process will soon begin against all the excesses of the Ministry of Education.” Last month, minister Varsha Gaikwad’s school education told TII that the plan was to bring regulations regarding the reduction in school fees.
Why the government changed the plan at the last minute was a surprise.
Devendra Fadnivis opposition leader on Thursday is called the ‘Eyewash’.
The similar grover issued by the government in May 2020 also challenged the Willson Matthew advocate, which has represented many schools in different legal disputes, said the GR is currently unlikely to resist the supervision in court.
Matthew said, “This talks about the 2021-22 session, while there is nothing about the command of the Supreme Court which quote gr.” DFRC can be approached only if a minimum of 25% of parents gather as groups.
