Punjab Assembly Caps Private School Fees, Passes 9 Bills on Monsoon Session's Final Day

The Punjab Legislative Assembly concluded its Monsoon Session on Thursday with the passage of nine bills, marking a busy final day for lawmakers. The most prominent among them is a bill that caps the annual increase in private school fees at 5%, a move aimed at easing the financial burden on families. The legislation also includes provisions for better oversight of fee structures and transparency in school finances. While opposition parties welcomed the fee cap, some critics argue that the limit may not fully address the rising costs of education.
