HC prohibits from collecting extra fees
The High Court yesterday prohibited the Viqarunnisa Noon School and College authorities from collecting extra tuition fees from its students for next one year.
Responding to a writ petition filed by Supreme Court lawyer Eunus Ali Akond, it also questioned the legality of the rules that empowers the education boards to form ad-hoc committees for running private schools and colleges.
The boards form the ad-hoc committee under Section 39 of the Private School and College Governing Body and Managing Committee Regulations, 2009, Eunus said.
The HC issued a rule asking the authorities to explain in four weeks why the Section 39 should not be declared illegal and unconstitutional.
Eunus also said the Viqarunnisa authorities has been illegally collecting additional Tk 500 from its college student and Tk 300 from its school student for the welfare of its teachers and staff since January through the ad-hoc committee.
