In order to address the complaints regarding unlawful and irrational fee increase in the private schools and colleges across the province, the additional Chief Secretary Punjab has proposed reorganization of District Enforcement Committees by adding the Deputy Commissioner and District Police Officer of the concerned district as convener and co-convener respectively.
This would help ensure that no such private educational institution be allowed to enhance more than 5 percent arbitrary increase in the annual tuition fee which do charge four thousand rupees or more than that monthly tuition fee. This step will help secure public interest. These recommendations of the special committee will be submitted to the Chief Minister Punjab today for final approval.
Taking notice of the violation of Punjab Private Educational Institutions (Promotion & Regulations) Amended Ordinance 2017, the Punjab Chief Minister had desired to review and recommend more effective regulatory regime and enforcement mechanism to fully implement all sections of the relevant regulations in letter and spirit. Punjab Chief Minister Muhammad Shahbaz Sharif constituted a special committee to resolve the issue.
For this purpose, the meeting of the special committee headed by Additional Chief Secretary Punjab Shamail Ahmad Khawaja held here on Monday at Civil Secretariat. Chairman Punjab Examination Commission Dr Zafar Iqbal Qureshi, Secretary Schools Education Dr Allah Bakhsh Malik, Secretary Higher Education Punjab Barrister Nabeel Ahmad Awan, Deputy Secretaries, Saba Asghar Ali, Abdul Rehman Khagga and Muhammad Younus participated in the meeting.
While giving presentation to the special committee, Secretary Schools Education Punjab Dr Allah Bakhsh Malik explained the legal framework for private educational institutions in the province and said that complaints regarding charging of high fee received from parents are regularly addressed but in most of the cases, parents do not file complaints in writing.
