East Delhi School Strikes Off Four Class 12 Students Over Non-Payment of Fees

A private school located in East Delhi has reportedly struck off the names of four Class 12 students after their parents failed to clear the school fees.

According to the school administration, the action was taken under Rule 35 of the Delhi School Education Rules, 1973, which permits institutions to remove a student’s name from the register if the required fees remain unpaid.

Reports suggest that the parents of the affected students had refused to pay the revised or increased fee structure, following which the school issued an official notice regarding the pending payments.

The incident has raised concerns among parents and education observers regarding fee hikes in private schools and their impact on students’ academic continuity, especially for those appearing in crucial board examinations.

Education authorities have stated that such cases are usually reviewed based on the rules governing private educational institutions and the rights of students and parents.
