CBSE & ICSE schools to cap annual fee hike at 10 per cent

CBSE and ICSE school managements associations in the state have instructed their member schools to cap the annual fee hike at 10 per cent.

The decision was taken at their Annual General Meeting held on April 7, where representatives of more than 200 schools were present.

"We came to the conclusion that schools should be self-regulatory and sensitive when increasing the fee. Almost all our member schools already follow this principle. There are very few who increase the fee by more than 10 per cent," said Mansoor Khan of the Managements of Independent CBSE Schools Association. He added that ideally, they would recommend schools to keep the hike between 6 and 8 per cent.
