No question of reducing school fees this year, say private schools in Karnataka Updated: Updated: Share Article AAA Private school managements have ruled out any reduction in school fees for the 2021-22 academic year, but say they would accommodate payments in multiple instalments. At a press conference on Sunday, representatives of the Karnataka Private School Managements, Teaching and Non-Teaching Staff Coordination Committee (KPMTCC) defended the decision, citing a drop in enrolment and non-payment of fees from the previous academic year. This comes amid a stand-off between school managements and parents, and Minister for Primary and Secondary Education S. Suresh Kumar recently saying the situation was no different now when compared to last year when the government had fixed a 70% cap on school fees.
