VIJAYAWADA: The Andhra Pradesh High Court on Friday issued interim orders that payment of fee for the students, who secured seats in private schools under the 25% quota of Right to Education (RTE), will depend on the final verdict.
Recently, the State government issued GO 24 stating that fee for the students, who secured seats in private schools under the 25% quota of Right to Education has to pay their fee from financial aid under the Amma Vodi scheme.
Challenging the order, Independent Schools Management Association (ISMA) chairman Koganti Srikanth and United Private Educational Institutions Federation (UPEIF) chairman Gollapudi Mohan Rao approached the High Court.
They urged the court to direct the government to pay the fee directly to the school managements and not to the accounts of the student’s mother.
Petitioners’ counsel argued that the government has not determined the fee for 25% quota properly. Justice G Ramakrishna Prasad directed the school education department to file a counter with full details. The case hearing was adjourned to March 15.
