New Delhi: Delhi Education Minister Arvinder Singh Lovely Thursday lashed out at schools which are forcing parents to buy costly forms for their children’s nursery admission.
The minister was reacting to a sting operation conducted by CNN-IBN on various public schools which showed how the institutions were fleecing parents by charging anything between Rs.50-400 for prospectus and admission form..
“Nobody can charge more than Rs.25 as far as the form and registration is concerned,” the minister said.
Schools “cannot force a parent to buy a prospectus and the law is totally clear on this,” added Lovely.
Regarding the sting operation, Lovely said that those found to be at fault would be taken to task.
