  • | Thursday | 21st February, 2019

The school has raised the fresh demand with retrospective effect from April 2018.The school has asked the parents to pay the additional amount chargeable from the current academic year in two instalments. NEW DELHI: Sanskriti School , which was established primarily to meet the educational needs of children of bureaucrats , has bowled a googly by asking them to pay the same fee as is charged from children of private individuals . “The DoE portal for applying for fee increase for 2018-19 and 2019-20 has not even opened,” the circular said.The school, located in Chanakyapuri, was founded in 1998 primarily to provide education to children of All India Services and Allied Services officers and defence services personnel on transfer. It may raise it with Roopa Sinha, wife of cabinet secretary, who is the chairperson of school’s managing committee.Some of the parents TOI spoke to say the differential fee was 40-50%less in case of children of government employees.Though school principal Richa Sharma Agnihotri refused to comment, the school circular has cited increased financial burden due to implementation of Seventh Pay Commission and rejected by the Directorate of Education to hike the fee structure across the board for 2017-18 and they were informed about this only in January. The revised annual fee for children of government employees is approximately Rs 1.4 lakh for Nursery to Class IV, Rs 1.2 lakh for Class V, Rs 1.2 lakh for Class VI to IX and Rs 1.2 lakh for classes XI and XII students.In a circular issued on February 9, the school administration informed parents about the decision to “rationalise” the fee structure wherein “the same fee will be applicable for all students”.TOI has learnt that the IAS Officers Association is likely to take up the issue since it impacts a large number of government employees, particularly junior personnel.
