The Director of Inspection and Registration of Private Institutions in Sindh, a department under the Ministry of Education, has announced strict action against several private schools for violating the Sindh Private Education Institutions Act of 2013. The move comes after the department received complaints, including from parents and students, about the schools’ unlawful fee hikes, harassment of parents, and other irregularities.
According to Professor Rafeeqa Mallah, the Additional Registrar of the Director of Inspection and Registration of Private Institutions in Sindh, the action was taken in light of complaints and court orders. Professor Mallah stated that many private educational institutions were pressuring students and parents to pay unlawful fees, conducting coercive collections, and some schools were even harassing students.
The Ministry of Education’s statement highlights that the Director of Inspection and Registration of Private Institutions in Sindh is responsible for overseeing the fees, admission policies, advertisements, promotional materials, and administrative matters of private schools under the Sindh Private Education Institutions Act of 2013. The department had to take action against institutions that were violating the law.
The action includes the suspension of the registration of several private schools, including Hassan School (Ahsanabad), Iqbal Science Public School, Gulshan-e-Iqbal Model School, Sultanabad Public School, Osman Grammar School (Nazimabad), Behan Behai Public School, Mega School (New Karachi), Haroon Grammar School (Korangi), Foundation School (Johar Colony), and Afraidi Ideal School. Professor Mallah emphasized that these schools are not allowed to continue their educational activities, accept admissions, or collect fees after their registration has been suspended.
Parents are advised to report any unlawful fee hikes, coercive actions, or harassment to the Ministry of Education or the Director of Inspection and Registration of Private Institutions in Sindh immediately.
The statement also warns all private schools to operate within the law and maintain their educational activities, failing which they will face strict disciplinary actions.
The move has been welcomed by parents and educational circles, who see it as a strong message against private schools that have been charging unlawful fees.
