Kathmandu: The Central Fee Fixation Committee is all set to monitor the fee structure of the private 10+2 and community higher secondary schools of Kathmandu valley from Monday.

Monitoring of the colleges and higher secondary schools outside the Valley would begin from 6th August.

The monitoring team led by Dilli Rimal, director of the Department of Education, has been mobilised across the nation.

The team consists of representatives from Education Department, Higher Secondary Education Board (HSEB), Guardian Associations and Teachers Unions.

According to team member and Guardian Association chairman Suprabhat Bhandari, the team would monitor the fee structure of 15 plus two colleges of Kathmandu valley from Monday.

"We will begin to monitor the plus two colleges of outside the Valley from 6th August," he said.

Bhandari said the team was going to monitor only a few colleges, which are said to charge high fees.

However, the HSEB has not yet fixed the fee ceiling for the 10+2 colleges.

Bhandari informed that in the absence of fixed ceiling of fees, it would be difficult to take actions against any colleges charging higher fees.

The team, Bhandari said, would monitor fee of colleges on the basis of school level fees as the plus two level programmers have been running in schools.

The Guardians Association had submitted a memorandum to the HSEB demanding that it should fix fees for in plus two level colleges on Wednesday.
