Peshawar High Court (PHC) has stopped private schools from collecting summer vacation fee, directing the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Private School Regulatory Authority (KP-PSRA) to enforce its verdict in the province.
The court has ordered the private schools that have already collected the fee for summer vacation to refund the fee. KP-PRSA had also barred private schools from charging a fee for summer/winter.
