NEW DELHI: Raising student fees without paying teachers' as per the Sixth Pay Commission's recommendations isn't the only violation private unaided schools are guilty of. Replies to a batch of RTI queries, many of them filed with the northwest district, show that numerous schools have decided on a fee hike at meetings where no Directorate of Education nominee was present. The former MLA of Model Town, Akhilesh Pati Tripathi, had written to the deputy director (education) of the northwest school district, Neena Kumari, seeking documents showing schools had the go-ahead from the necessary authorities when deciding on increases.

"Several parents in our area have complained of increasing exploitation by private recognized schools by means of exorbitant fees and hidden charges," writes Tripathi. He had specifically asked for papers from five private unaided schools in the district, the names of the DoE nominees in whose presence the fee hikes were finalized and increase in fee in percentage and absolute terms from the academic session 2010-11 to 2014-15.

Activist Mohit Goel had, in 2013, filed a batch of RTIs seeking, not just information on increases but also what role exactly the department plays in the process. Goel had asked for the number of management meetings each DoE had attended in the previous two years and zone 10 responded with, "No such information is maintain[ed] in this zone in materialistic (sic) form." Zone 9 had the same reply. Documents from several public schools say that the directorate's nominee wasn't present at the meetings of the PTA.
