more-inThe Delhi High Court sought a response from the Directorate of Education (DoE) on Tuesday on a plea accusing the city government of delaying implementation of the Seventh Central Pay Commission’s (CPC) recommendations in private unaided schools causing hardship to teachers, students and parents. ‘Tuition fees’The Action Committee Unaided Recognised Private Schools said the matter has far reaching consequences as private schools were entirely dependent on tuition fees. Its counsel said the DoE’s decision will also contribute to the delay in implementation of the recommendations, apart from leading to exodus of teachers from the schools, which have been barred for the time being from hiking the pay of their staff. Delhi government standing counsel Ramesh Singh said none of the schools were a party to the case and asked how can the association approach the court. He said private schools, of course, have to pay teachers as per the 7th CPC recommendations.
