‘A Historic Moment…’, Says Delhi Minister Ashish Sood On Education Bill

Delhi Education Minister Ashish Sood described the ‘Delhi School Education (Transparency in Fixation and Regulation of Fees), Bill, 2025’ as a historic moment, stating that the people of Delhi are happy with the bill, which has been introduced for their benefit.

Speaking to ANI on the Education Bill, Delhi Minister Sood on Tuesday said, “The people are happy. It has been brought for their benefit. They (parents) can now attend the meetings where the fees of a school are determined. It is a historic moment.”

The Bill was tabled on the first day of the Monsoon session of the Eighth Legislative Assembly, which commenced on Monday and will continue until August 8. However, the session may be extended depending on the exigencies of legislative business.

On Monday, while tabling the Education Bill, 2025, in the Delhi Assembly, Cabinet Minister Sood stated that the legislation seeks to end the commercialisation of education and take action against those exploiting it for profit.

“Education is not a thing to be sold. This bill aims to halt the commercialisation of education. We are bringing the bill to take action against those mafias who are selling education…” Sood said while tabling the bill. The proposed law aims to regulate the arbitrary fee hikes by private schools in the national capital, providing relief to lakhs of students and their families.

This bill was initially scheduled to be presented during the special session proposed on May 13-14, but the session could not be held.

Earlier on 16th April, show-cause notices were served to 10 schools regarding the arbitrary fee hike and to those schools that had not submitted their audit reports. The present Delhi government has already collected audited reports from 600 schools.

The Delhi Legislative Assembly is set to convene on Wednesday at 2:00 p.m. to take up a range of issues, including the consideration of the Delhi School Education (Transparency in Fixation and Regulation of Fees) Bill, 2025, and a short-duration discussion on alleged financial irregularities in a government scholarship scheme.
