RECORDER REPORT

LAHORE: The Punjab Schools Education Department has devised a comprehensive law to deal with the issue of annual increase in fee of private schools in the province.

Under this law, an action will be initiated against the private schools that are involved in extorting excessive fee after every year. The purpose is to save the parents from any undue economic burden. According to a spokesman of the Schools Education Department on Monday, in case of any undue annual increase in student fee by the private schools, parents can approach the District Education Officer, Administrator or Deputy Commissioner for reimbursement of extra amount paid to the institution.
