Amaravati: AP School Education Regulatory and Monitoring Commission (APSERMC) chairman Justice R Kanta Rao warned private school managements against collecting excess fee from students. He said that the commission received complaints regarding collection of excess fees from students after the government gave permission for conducting online classes.
In a statement, the chairman said that the schools and junior college managements should collect last year tuition fee in instalments. He also said they had received complaints over removing teachers and staff from service without paying salaries.
