Schools in Brahmanbaria realising more fees

Though the Board of Intermediate and Secondary Examinations, Comilla has fixed the charges at Tk 1,485 for science examinees and Tk1385 for commerce and arts students, the school authorities are allegedly collecting extra fees from the students without giving any receipts. The authorities of Daudpur High School are collecting Tk4,300 from the students who passed the test exam and between Tk 5,300 to 9,000 from those who failed in one or more than one subjects. Habibur Rahman, a guardian of an SSC candidate, said he paid Tk5,375 as form fees. However, the school’s headmaster, Moha Probhu, declined to say anything in this connection, reports UNB. Delwar Hossain, headmaster of Panchgaon Ideal High School, said they took Tk 1,000 as coaching fees from the students in addition to the form fees. Al Mamun, upazila secondary education officer, said necessary steps would be taken against the institutions who were taking extra fees from the students.
