Overview

• Parents representing the Delhi Parents’ Association and United Parents’ Voice were initially stopped at CM’s Shalimar Bagh residence for security reasons before being received at the Delhi Secretariat.
• During the June 30 meeting, they accused some private unaided schools of defying Directorate of Education guidelines and issuing fee-due notices to students.
• Delegation members decried unfair treatment of students over unpaid fees and urged suspension of any school-fee ordinance until proper public consultations are held.
• Chief Minister Rekha Gupta pledged to review the fee-hike grievances and organize a broader meeting with the education minister and department officials.
• The move follows earlier government actions from show-cause notices and a fee-regulation bill to a fast-tracked June ordinance in response to parent protests and judicial criticism.
