Punjab has enacted a new law to control private school fee increases. The government has capped annual fee hikes at five percent. Schools that charged more in the past will refund the excess amount to parents. This move aims to ease financial pressure on families. The Aam Aadmi Party believes this sets a national example for educational reform.

Chief minister Bhagwant Mann announces annual limit on fee increases alongside retroactive financial relief for burdened parents.

Move comes after suicide by Class 11 student in Amritsar; CM says stringent law will be introduced in next assembly session
