Standardising fee structure in J&K schools

Earlier this year, the Commissioner Secretary of J&K School Education, Hirdesh Kumar, directed officials of the Department of School Education to ensure that private School authorities strictly follow the fee structure norms laid down by the government. He said the J&K School Fee Fixation Committee (SFFC) has already worked out all the modalities and directions in this regard were passed to the private schools for strict adherence.
