Justiciability of the right to education 2013, para. 66
Paragraph
Paragraph text
Similarly, a recent decision by the Supreme Court of Nepal issued a verdict demanding that educational authorities devise reform programmes to regulate private schools – regulating fees, prohibiting the sale of unregistered and over-priced textbooks, and limiting the number of private schools gaining accreditation. Exorbitant fees charged by private providers of education are causing greater social and economic disparity between working and middle classes.
