The Sindh Education Department has instructed private schools not to charge students advance or additional fees, according to a circular issued by the Directorate of Inspection and Private Institutions.
The directive aims to provide financial relief to parents and students, ensuring a fair and transparent fee collection process.
The circular stated that, as per the Steering Committee’s decision, the academic year 2025-26 will commence on April 1, 2025 and to alleviate financial burdens, it has been mandated that tuition fees for matriculation students should only be collected up to April.
For students from pre-primary to grade nine, and those promoted from grade nine to grade ten, tuition fees for June and July can be collected during April and May.
However, schools are required to issue separate fee vouchers for each month to maintain clarity and transparency in the process.
Furthermore, the circular specifies that the June fee vouchers must remain payable until June 30, while the July fee vouchers should be settled by July 31.
This staggered approach is designed to prevent financial strain on parents and ensure timely payment of fees without undue pressure.
