Despite the strict advisory of the government under the Gujarat Self-financed Schools (Regulation of Fees) Act, 2017, many schools in Ahmedabad are yet to display fees details on their notice boards.

Following complaints and details received by the district educational officer (DEO), a circular was issued to all schools, ordering them to display the mandatory fee order on the school notice board. If schools fail to display the order, their recognition may be revoked.

The Act mandates that private schools display their fee orders on notice boards and their websites. These orders, approved by the fee committee based on school proposals and affidavits, outline the fees charged to students.

Despite this requirement, some schools have failed to comply. The Ahmedabad DEO has issued a strict warning to all private schools in the city to adhere to the law. Schools that violate the act and fail to display fee details publicly will face penalties, including the revocation of their recognition.

The DEO has instructed school principals to ensure that fee orders are prominently displayed on notice boards and websites. Moreover, schools must submit photographs of the displayed orders to the DEO’s office for verification. This measure aims to provide parents with transparent information about school fees.
