New Delhi: Govt Planning to Bring Strict Law to Rein in Pvt Schools
New Delhi, May 29 (PTI) Private school managements could face criminal proceedings for resorting to unfair practises in matters of admission, tuition fee and teacher salary as the government is contemplating a legislation to make such acts criminal offence.
The proposed legislation would be broadly patterned on the Prohibition of Unfair Practises in Technical Educational Institutions, Medical Educational Institutions and Universities Bill, 2011, already introduced in Parliament.
It would be taken up for deliberation at the forthcoming meeting of Central Advisory Board of Education (CABE) here next month, sources in the HRD Ministry said.
'The Prohibition of Unfair Practises in Schools and Intermediate Colleges Bill, 2011' would seek to promote transparency through mandatory self-disclosure in the prospectus and website, providing adequate and accessible recourse for remedial action arising out of non-adherence to self-disclosed details and norms.
