Ahmedabad: Amid coronavirus-induced lockdown, private schools in Gujarat will not hike fees in the coming academic year and will offer flexibility to parents to pay March-May fees over six months at their own convenience, a senior state government official said on Monday.
The decision was taken after state Education Minister Bhupendrasinh Chudasama held a meeting with representatives of the associations of private schools, Ashwani Kumar, secretary to the chief minister, said.
Kumar said that it was decided in the meeting that private schools will not raise annual fees and will offer flexibility to economically weaker parents to pay fees for March to May as per their convenience.
