Following the January 7 ruling of the Orissa High Court in connection with the waiver of school fees, the Odisha State government on Tuesday released a notification and directed all aided and unaided private schools in the state to reduce school fees in view of the Covid-19 pandemic situation."

As per reports, the waiver may be done under seven slabs- 26  pc waiver of school fees for annual fees above Rs 1 lakh per annum, 25  pc for the fee range between Rs 72,001 and Rs 1 lakh per annum, 20 pc for school fees from Rs 48,001 to Rs 72,000, 15 pc for school fees from Rs 24,001 to Rs 48,000, 12  pc for school fees from Rs 12,001 to Rs 24,000 and 7.5 pc for school fees from Rs 6,001 and Rs 12,000 per annum.

The committee was formed by the HC to resolve the issue after the State government sought not to interfere in the administrative decisions of private schools by maintaining that they were beyond the purview of government control.
