The non-governmental organization Bangladesh Law and Rights Aid has filed a writ petition with the High Court seeking an order to stop the collection of any fees in the name of re-admission for students promoted to the next grade within the same educational institution. The petition, submitted on January 25, 2026, alleges that the practice of charging such fees constitutes a long-standing and silent form of exploitation in the country’s education system.
According to the organization’s executive director, Ali Asgar Imon, many schools are charging large sums by labeling regular promotions as new admissions, turning education into a commercial product and placing parents under financial strain. He cited a November directive from the Ministry of Education that explicitly prohibits re-admission fees, allowing only an annual session charge. However, the directive is reportedly being ignored by thousands of institutions nationwide.
The petition requests the court to declare re-admission fees illegal, order their immediate cessation, refund fees already collected for the 2026 academic year, and ensure full enforcement of the ministry’s directive signed by Education Secretary Rehana Parvin.
