He said that due to spread of  Covid-19 , the nationwide Lockdown was imposed in the country on  March 23, 2020 by the prime minister Mr Narender Modi and due to that all educational institutions had been closed down and students had to been forced to study by taking online classes during entire previous academic year and even some of the examinations for various classes were also conducted online.Some examinations were done away and students had been promoted  straight away into the next class in previous academic year.To cope with the situation, the parents had to incur a lot of money  for purchasing electronic equipments including amar phones and laptop to keep update online to their wards .instead of helping their students to come out of this pandemic phase the respective school management had chosen another way to loot the already financially burdened parents by making exorbitant increase not only in fees structure ,but in other heads also who were already facing  mental agony as some parents had lost their jobs. of their jobs due to Covid-19. Various private schools in Panchkula had increased the tuition fee and other charges manifold and even one school had increased tuition fees  upto140 per cent in this present academic year starting from 1April, 2021. The parents had been pressurized to deposit the arrears of the rebate given last year immediately and transfer certificates were not being issued to the students who seek admissions in other schools .They had to face a lot of difficulties.

                 Mr Chander Mohan told the education minister that  many senior Congress party leaders raise the issue of exhorbitant fees and other charges hike with the management of the schools, but all in  vain.

The  parents should be included in the decision making process where the rights of students and parents could be affected. Most of the schools had been registered under a trust or society act and  don’t pay taxes. It was suggested that it should be made mandatory by the government to make account of these institutions public so that  transparency could be maintained at all levels. It had come to the notice that payment was not made to the teaching and non-teaching staff during Covid-19 and even defaulted in payment of their salaries to the retrenched staff but even though the schools were adamant to charge full fees for entire previous academic year . The parents were harased and mentally tortured to stop them  to fullfill the dreams of their childerns .

The preference should be given to the books published by the NCERT and the SCERT for schools affiliated with the CBSE or the Haryana Board of School Education and a criteria should be fixed the school uniform also it had been advised in the memorandum that education department should intervene to redress the unethical of the   managements.
