Minority schools have approached the Delhi High Court challenging a new law that makes government approval mandatory for school fee increases. They argue the law violates Article 30 of the Constitution, which protects minority institutions’ right to manage their own affairs.
The Patna High Court upheld Bihar’s school fees regulation law, limiting fee increases to 7% for private and unaided schools. The law aims to prevent financial burden on students and families while ensuring autonomy and fair regulation. A Fee Regulation Committee will oversee transparent fee management. This decision aligns with the goal of equitable education accessibility.
