The Sindh High Court has directed private schools to collect June and July fees separately, giving parents until the end of each respective month to make payments.
During a hearing on a petition challenging summer vacation fee collection and the compulsory purchase of books and uniforms, the court told schools to issue fee notices in May rather than April. It also set June 30 as the deadline for June fees and July 30 for July fees.
The petitioner’s lawyer told the court that schools had started sending fee notices in April and asking parents to pay both months’ fees at once. He argued that schools had no justification for collecting the fees this way because they suspended classes during summer vacations.
A government lawyer and a representative of the Directorate of Private Schools appeared before the bench to address the petition.
The court also directed the Directorate of Private Schools and the other parties to consult each other on the compulsory purchase of books and uniforms. It ordered them to meet within two weeks and find a solution to the dispute. After issuing these directions, the court disposed of the petition.
