The Ministry of Education has issued a new policy titled 'Financial Transparency and Accountability Policy for Educational Institutions' to curb financial irregularities and strengthen transparency and accountability across the country's educational institutions. The directive, released on Wednesday, February 18, 2026, by the Secondary and Higher Education Division, states that no institution may collect re-admission fees from enrolled students under any circumstances.
According to the policy, private institutions including schools, school and colleges, higher secondary colleges, and degree colleges at the higher secondary level may only charge tuition fees as specified in the 'Tuition Fee Policy 2024'. Institutions are prohibited from creating new categories of fees or collecting money beyond approved heads. All income and expenditure must follow existing government financial regulations, and accounts must be jointly operated by the head of the institution and the governing body president.
The policy further requires that all fees and donations be deposited through scheduled banks, preferably state-owned ones, or via government-approved payment gateways such as the Sonali Payment Gateway. Any financial irregularities will make both the governing body president and the institution head jointly responsible under prevailing regulations.
