Helpline numbers introduced to address school fee hike complaints

Despite an order from the department directing schools not to increase tuition fee for 2020-21 academic year considering the financial crisis caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, some schools have been accused of issuing notices to parents increasing the fee.

Following such complaints, the department has set up a helpline where parents can register their



complaints. 

The parents/public have been asked to collect the acknowledgement number after registering complaints. 

The following are the details of the helpline - Number: 08023320311; Mobile: 6364728784; walking hours 9.30 am to 6 pm (on working days) and 

email: centralhelplinesnr@gmail.com, the department has said.
