A written complaint has been filed in Madan upazila of Netrakona alleging that students of Maghan High School were charged excessive fees during the 2026 SSC examination form fill-up. Guardian Jhuman Mia submitted the complaint to the Upazila Nirbahi Officer on Sunday, claiming he was verbally abused and forced out of the school premises after protesting the demand for Tk 9,000, far above the government-fixed fee of Tk 2,315.

According to the complaint and statements from guardians, the school allegedly compelled students to pay additional coaching fees along with the form fill-up charges, warning that those unable to pay would be barred from completing the process or sitting for the exam. Teacher Abdul Gani denied the allegations, saying no extra money was taken, while Head Teacher Shahidul Islam Khokon stated that Tk 2,500 was collected per student and referred further questions to Gani.

Upazila Nirbahi Officer Bedbati Mistri said she was currently in the district and would take action after reviewing the matter.
