VIJAYAWADA: The AP School Education Regulation and Monitoring Commission (APSERMC) is likely to announce this week the tuition fee for private and corporate schools. The commission made an elaborate exercise on fee fixation in private schools after inspecting the infrastructure and teaching faculty.
While schools across the state are going to reopen from Monday, APSERMC said that there will be no drastic hike in the fee structure. Aluru Samabasiva Reddy, secretary of APSERMC, speaking to TOI said, “We are concerned about the exorbitant fee collected by corporate schools. Many parents are requesting a fee concession. But it is not possible technically. The APSERMC will announce the fee structure for private schools.
The state government had completed as many as 1.16 lakh works in 15,000 schools at a cost of 3,669 crore. The state government has spent 29,114 crore for education sector in the last two years.
Education minister Adimulapu Suresh said 13,000 crore was credited into the accounts of mothers under Amma Vodi scheme. Amma Vodi has made daily wagers to send their wards to schools.
Former vice-chancellor of Acharya Nagarjuna University, Dr YV Haragopala Reddy, said the bar of standards in education sector has been raised by improving infrastructure in schools.
