‘MPO-enlisted schools should forgo tuition fee’
A writ petition has been filed with the High Court seeking it's directives on collection of monthly tuition fees by private educational institutions, which get the monthly pay order (MPO) facilities during coronavirus pandemic.
Two students of Ideal School and College in Dhaka jointly submitted the petition to the High Court recently, praying to the court to order the authorities concerned of the government to take necessary steps so that the schools, colleges and madrasas getting MPO facilities do not collect monthly tuition fees from the students amid the pandemic.
The High Court will hear on the petition today, petitioners' lawyer Advocate Saifur Rahman told The Daily Star.
He said guardians of most students have been facing financial crisis during the coronavirus outbreak. Many of them are out of work or unemployed, hence they cannot afford the monthly fees, he added.
