Annual Affiliation fee for Private Schools Unconstitutional
On May 2, 2025, the Jharkhand High Court delivered a landmark verdict declaring the mandatory annual affiliation fee for private schools unconstitutional. Introduced under the 2019 Jharkhand Education Rules, the court found the provision arbitrary, emphasising that it infringes on the Right to Education (RTE) and restricts private institutions’ operational autonomy.
