Delhi Fee Bill Sparks Row: Atishi Demands Select Committee Scrutiny
Delhi’s opposition leader, Atishi, has vehemently opposed the recently introduced fee regulation bill, demanding its referral to a select committee for thorough examination. She criticized the government for its hasty introduction, alleging a lack of meaningful consultation with key stakeholders.
AAP MLA Anil Jha echoed these concerns, accusing the government of inaction and prioritizing the interests of private schools. He further alleged that the bill actively promotes the commercialization of education in the national capital.
Jha highlighted the bill’s potential to exacerbate the financial burden on parents, already grappling with rising educational costs. He urged the government to reconsider its approach and engage in wider discussions before finalizing the legislation.
The controversy surrounding the bill underscores the growing concerns about affordability and accessibility of quality education in Delhi. The coming weeks will be crucial as the government navigates the political fallout and considers the opposition’s demands. The debate highlights the urgent need for a comprehensive and equitable education policy that prioritizes the interests of students and parents alike.
