Private schools fleece parents-charging Rs 500/- forcefully for prospectus


Private schools fleece parents-charging Rs 500/- forcefully for prospectus


Some private schools here have allegedly forced parents to buy prospectus worth Rs 400 to Rs 500 along with nursery admission forms. The parents have demanded immediate action by the Directorate of Education.

Indraprastha Public School, Doon Public School, Indian School and Shadely Public School are among the institutes under scanner. Samita Anand, a parent, said: “According to the DoE guidelines, schools are obliged to sell forms at Rs 25. But some schools are charging Rs 500. Why so? I collected forms for Indraprastha and Doon Public schools in Paschim Vihar at Rs 500 each.” 

Anand added that the schools noted down names of those demanding the form at Rs 25. However, they denied to issue the forms without prospectus. Anand has shortlisted 27 schools and plans to apply in at least 20.
