“The teachers should be getting the benefits of the hike by April 31. Any grievances from teachers or students, our committee will be set up to address that,” says Education Minister, Delhi, Arvinder Singh Lovely.
“I don’t mind paying this much for my child's quality education,” says
It’s a relief for parents expecting a flat 50 per cent increase on monthly fee- a figure still being demanded by most schools.
“We are not happy with it. It is not sufficient. We are going to send a representation to the govt,” says Chairman, national progressive school conference, S L Jain.
