Education201623 sections

This law regulates the fees charged by private, unaided schools in Punjab to prevent them from making excessive profits. It applies to private institutions that do not receive government funding and operate up to the 10+2 education level. The Act establishes a regulatory body to fix and review fee structures annually, ensuring that schools do not exploit students or their families. It empowers parents and students to file complaints if they believe fees are being charged unfairly, thereby protecting the right to education and curbing commercialization in the private education sector.
