State clears Bill to cap PVL (State school fee) without? (captioned as “cap pvt school fees hike at 5%”)

What happened

A State Assembly cleared a Bill to cap increases in private-school fees. The Bill is designed to limit fee hikes for parents to a specified rate, so families get more predictable and more affordable schooling costs over time.

Background and earlier position

Before Assembly clearance of a fee-capping Bill, private schools could raise fees through existing state arrangements and the normal annual process of setting school charges. Parents faced uncertainty about how fast fees would rise across successive academic years.

What changed now

Assembly clearance advances the fee-capping framework through the legislative process. After clearance, private-school fee hikes are intended to come under a rate-based cap that restricts the maximum allowed rise in fees charged to parents.
