Hyderabad: The Telangana government on Tuesday directed all the schools in the state not to increase school fee during academic year 2020-21 and charge only tuition fee and that too on monthly basis, in view of the hardships caused by Covid-19 induced lockdown.

The government also warned the schools that non-compliance of the instructions will result in cancellation of school recognition.

The School Education Department issued a Government Order (GO) in this regard on Tuesday, two days after the state cabinet took a decision in this regard.

According to the order, the instructions apply to all private unaided recognized schools in the state which are affiliated to State Board, Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE), Indian Certificate of Secondary Education (ICSE) and other international boards.

The schools were directed not to increase any kind of fees and charge only tuition fee on monthly basis till further orders.

The department said non-compliance of orders will also lead to revoking the no objection certificate already granted for affiliation to other boards and initiation of appropriate action against the school managements under relevant Acts/Rules.
