Delhi School Bill: AAP Walks Tightrope Amidst Fee Hike Fury
Delhi’s Education Minister today voiced support for the new School Education Bill, promising greater fee transparency and accountability in the city’s private schools. The Bill, however, has sparked significant opposition.
Parents staged protests across the capital, alleging a complete lack of consultation before the Bill’s drafting. Their primary concern centres on the absence of robust audit mechanisms to prevent arbitrary fee hikes.
The Aam Aadmi Party, while backing the Minister’s stated intentions, has also acknowledged the parents’ concerns. The party has promised to address the issues raised regarding the lack of audit provisions and parental input.
This delicate balancing act by the AAP highlights the growing tension between the need for regulating private school fees and ensuring fair representation for all stakeholders. The coming days will be crucial in determining how the party navigates this complex issue and addresses the widespread anxieties among parents. The outcome will significantly impact Delhi’s education landscape and the financial burden on countless families.
