JOIN USTerming State government’s rules governing fees in private unaided schools as “unconstitutional”, Karnataka Unaided Schools Management Association (Kusma) said it was violating such a law.
Briefing reporters on Thursday, Association Counsel K Dhananjay, said we are not complying with fee regulation passed by the government.
Non-compliance with unconstitutional law is excused under the Constitution.
A recent directive from Department of Public Instruction had asked such schools to collect fees in accordance with existing formula (total salary paid to teachers + 30 per cent of total salary/total number of students).
This, along with, other expenditures like Rs 600 per annum as development fees were mentioned, which KUSUMA declared insignificant.
The DPI had also called for a meeting to consult on the matter.
However, KUSMA decided to not attend it saying the matter was still sub judice.
