Delhi BJP President Virendra Sachdeva praised the Supreme Court’s choice not to halt the Delhi School Education Act 2025, calling it a valuable measure by the BJP’s Delhi government to combat unjustified fee increases for parents. The Supreme Court, after reviewing the Delhi government’s affidavit, dismissed arguments from private schools charging exorbitant fees, as highlighted in Monday’s court session.
Sachdeva emphasized that the Delhi School Education (Transparency in Fixation and Regulation of Fees) Bill, set to be effective from the academic year 2026–27, will safeguard parental interests by preventing fee hikes without government approval in all 1,700 private schools in the capital. He criticized past administrations, alleging collusion with private schools to exploit parents through various charges.
The Delhi BJP President underscored the significance of the Delhi School Education Act 2025 in empowering parents to have a say in fee determinations. The Act not only regulates fees for upcoming academic sessions but also mandates parental committee approval for any future fee adjustments.
Sachdeva posed direct questions to Delhi AAP convener Saurabh Bharadwaj, questioning the motives behind challenging the Education Act 2025. He sought clarification on the alleged affiliations of those opposing the Act and their stance on supporting private school owners.
