Education board disallows fee hike

Hyderabad: The education department has disallowed a petition from schools which had cited rising costs to seek a fee hike.

It said that the status quo ordered by the government will continue. The education department’s memo said that many schools had argued that they had started admissions on January 2, and the government had issued instructions only on January 4. 

This contention too was rejected as admissions had to be finalised only on January 12.
