Parents in grip of private schools’ syndicate

KATHMANDU: With the new session about to begin, the private schools have fixed the fee structure unilaterally.

Over 6,000 private schools are across the country where over 1.8 million students study. These private schools are charging fee to the parents exorbitantly due to the lack of proper monitoring by the government, a report in Rajdhani daily said.

The local government is mum on this issue. They have been charging fee on various topics such as exam fee, monthly fee, computer lab, hostel, diary, belt, tie, shoes, shocks among others.

On top of that they have been fleecing parents by imposing syndicate on notebooks and textbooks.
