Private schools fail to upload balance sheet on websites

Chandigarh private schools “continue to flout the norms of the Punjab Regulation of Fee of Unaided Educational Institution Act, 2016, by not disclosing ‘obligatory information’ on their official websites, the Education Department remains a mute spectator to violations.” Chandigarh Parents’ Association president Nitin Goyal said “profiteering is clearly barred by the Supreme Court in all educational institutions. It has been stated that education is not a business, but an occupation. Due to this, the Chandigarh Administration allotted plots only to charitable trusts for opening schools.”
