Managements of various selffinanced schools have agreed to the state government’s proposal of reducing tuition fees by 25% for the 2020-21 academic year.
The decision was arrived at during a meeting between education minister Bupendrasinh Chudasama and members of representatives of various schools on Thursday, said Jatin Bharad, vice-president of Self-Finance Management Association of Gujarat.
The move is expected to offer respite to parents of more than 30 lakh students in the state across 20,000 schools.
The school authorities had proposed a 20% fee cut for parents who are unable to pay fees due to Covid-19 but the government remained firm for a 25% fee cut across the board for all school students.
