No Advance Summer Vacation Fee Collection Allowed – KP-PSRA Issues Strict Warning
🚫 No Advance Summer Vacation Fee Collection Allowed – KP-PSRA Issues Strict Warning
The Private Schools Regulatory Authority (KP-PSRA) has once again reinforced its commitment to protecting parents from unjustified financial burdens by issuing a stern directive to all private schools across Khyber Pakhtunkhwa:
“Do NOT collect summer vacation tuition fees in advance.”
📜 What Does the Official Notice Say?
The notice refers to Clause 7(4)(X) of the KP-PSRA Regulations, 2018, which clearly stipulates:
“Students or their parents are not required to pay fee in advance except for a single calendar month. However, the parents are required to pay their summer/winter vacation fee at the end of each month.”
This regulation is crucial in ensuring that private educational institutions do not burden families by demanding lump-sum or multi-month advance fees—especially during the summer break when financial pressure is often high.
✅ What Is Allowed?
-
✅ Tuition fees can be charged during the summer vacation.
❌ But they CANNOT be collected in advance or as a lump-sum for multiple months.
-
✅ Fees must be collected monthly, and only at the end of each month.
⚠️ What Happens If Schools Don’t Comply?
The KP-PSRA has clearly stated that any non-compliance will lead to strict action against the institutions involved, as per existing regulations. This move is designed to ensure fairness, transparency, and accountability in the private education sector.
📢 Why This Matters for Parents and Guardians
This directive is a relief for thousands of parents who struggle to meet bulk fee demands during school closures. By enforcing monthly payments, the government is promoting a more manageable and fair fee structure for families.
📩 Stay Informed
This notice has been forwarded to all relevant authorities, including:
- All Deputy Commissioners in KP
- MIS & E&SE Department
- Directors and Secretaries within the KP-PSRA
The regulation is expected to be uploaded and accessible on the official KP-PSRA website for public reference.
