Several of the West Bengal government schools have been directed to refund the fees taken from students following India's apex child rights panel exposing rampant violations of the Right to Education Act in these schools.
In compliance with the directives of the NCPCR (National Commission for Protection of Child Rights) during a public hearing on RTE Act implementation in West Bengal, held in Kolkata recently, the district project officer, Sarva Siksha Mission (SSM), Malda has reported actions taken on complete refund of fees collected from children in violation of section 3 of the RTE Act.
The statement also said that the project officer has confirmed that all the school authorities have been directed to immediately refund the fees collected from all such children who could not lodge a complaint.
The two-day public hearing, that concluded on October 21, unveiled a horrific picture of the rampant violation of the Right to Education act in the state's government schools.

NCPCR chairperson Shanta Sinha had then said that several cases have been found where students in government schools have been charged money in the name of development fees and school fees.
