The Centre has clarified in Rajya Sabha that private school fee matters fall under state governments and UT administrations. The Education Ministry said non-central government schools are regulated as per state rules, while highlighting RTE and CBSE safeguards.
New Delhi: The Centre has clarified that it does not have a direct role in regulating the fee structures of schools that are not established, owned or controlled by the central government. Since education is a subject under the Concurrent List of the Constitution, schools other than those under the central government come under the jurisdiction of the respective state governments and union territory administrations.
The clarification was given by Minister of State for Education Jayant Chaudhary in a written reply to question no 2765 in the Rajya Sabha on August 12, 2026.
