The Uttar Pradesh Madhyamik Shiksha Parishad (UPMSP) has announced there will not be any fee hike across schools affiliated with the UP board, CBSE, and CISCE in the state for the upcoming academic session 2022-23. This is due to the current Covid-19 pandemic situation. The schools under the Uttar Pradesh board will continue to charge fees as per the 2019-20 academic session.
The UP additional chief secretary, secondary education, Aradhana Shukla has directed all private schools across the UP to not hike the school fees, reported a leading news daily. This is for the second year that the state government has prohibited schools from increasing fees. Last year too, the board asked schools not to increase the fees due to the pandemic.
