Deputy Director of Education, Mumbai, Sandeep Sangave issued an order stating, if schools have not done so for the academic year 2021-22 as per the Government Resolution (GR) issued last year, then the additional amount should either be refunded or adjusted in the new academic year fee.
A directive issued by the office of the Deputy Director of Education instructed schools to offer a 15 pc discount on the fee structure announced during the pandemic. The office of the Deputy Director of Education has asked schools to not only comply but also provide a compliance report. 
Asking the schools to implement the 15 percent discount announced by the state government in August 2021, the order by Deputy Director of Education, Mumbai, Sandeep Sangave earlier this week said, “If schools have not done so for the academic year 2021-22 as per the Government Resolution (GR) issued last year, then the additional amount should either be refunded or adjusted in the new academic year fee.”

The order has been sent to all education officers in Mumbai’s jurisdiction, which includes Mumbai city/suburbs, Navi Mumbai, Thane, Raigad, and Palghar. All local education officers have been asked to submit a compliance report of the same. The order comes in the wake of efforts by the Maharashtra Rajya Vidyarthi, Palak, Shikshak Mahasangha (Maharashtra State Students’, Parents’, Teachers Federation) which has been receiving grievances from parents that most schools have not complied with the fee relaxation announced by education minister in August 2021.
