New Delhi: The Delhi government is set to take over the management of a private-aided school in Punjabi Bagh following complaints of arbitrary extra fees alleged by parents, which is in violation of the Right to Education (RTE) Act, 2009.
The Delhi government accused the Swami Sivananda Memorial School in Punjabi Bagh of also deliberately failing its students and forcing them to repeat the grade.
“Taking into account the complaints of parents, the Delhi government constituted an inquiry committee for this matter. The committee found inadequacies in the functioning of the school and found that the issues raised by parents about the school are true. Upon presenting the report, the school management was given a chance to defend itself but they were unable to give any reasonable answers about the anomalies in its functioning,” read the statement.
“Considering the inadequacies and complaints which were found to be correct, Delhi government has decided to initiate the process of taking over the school management as per the provisions of Delhi School Education Act of 1973,” added the statement.
