Children, who do not have access to the online course, cannot be asked to pay the tuition fee, Uttarakhand High Court ordered. The court was hearing a PIL filed by Dehradun based on Japinder Singh, in which he had raised the issue that many schools were charging hefty fees from the parents regarding online classes during the lockdown period.
“It does appear that subtle means are being adopted by these private institutions to force parents to pay the tuition fees. Since payment of tuition fees by students is voluntary, none of the private schools shall send e-mails or WhatsApp messages or any form of communication to the parents calling upon them to pay the tuition fees,” the court said.
