"Education and economy were worst affected by the COVID-19 crisis. We are taking an online class and taking various steps to ensure education to the students of the government school."

Sisodia said a lot of private schools are increasing fee, taking transportation fee or other such charges.

"I also got to know they are not letting students take online classes if they failed to submit the fee."

Sisodia said that the Delhi government has passed an order barring schools to take any other change apart from the one-month tuition fee.

"Any private school will not be allowed to increase the fee without the government's permission and no school can take the fee for three months. They can only take the tuition fee per month. If any parent is unable to pay the fee, students should not be barred from attending online classes," he said.

He also said that no school can charge any other fee barring one-month tuition fee and they have to charge it every month. "Schools cannot demand a fee for a quarter or three months."

"No transportation fee or annual charge should be taken."

He also said that all school will have to pay salary to all the staff -- teaching and non-teaching -- on time.

"If there is any fund crisis, they can make money from the parent organisation."

He also said that no student should be barred from online classes if they fail to pay a fee.
