Statement: Many private schools have violated government directives by charging fees beyond specified limits.\nCourses of Action:\nI. Identify such schools and take stringent action as per law.\nII. Remove fee limits and let schools decide flexibly.

Difficulty: Easy

Correct Answer: Only I follows.

Explanation:


Introduction / Context:
The statement specifies a violation of existing directives. Appropriate action is enforcement, not repeal. Policy changes (like deregulation) are separate debates and not an immediate remedy for non-compliance.


Given Data / Assumptions:

  • Fee caps exist and have been notified.
  • Evidence of overcharging is reported.
  • Regulators can investigate and penalise.


Concept / Approach:
Rule of law: first enforce the current framework—audits, refunds, penalties. Structural reform can be considered later via stakeholder consultation if policy goals warrant it.


Step-by-Step Solution:
1) Audit fee structures; mandate disclosure.2) Order refunds/credits where overcharging is proven.3) Penalise repeat offenders; create grievance redressal channels for parents.


Verification / Alternative check:
Eliminating limits (II) does not address current violations and could worsen inequity.


Why Other Options Are Wrong:
Only II/Either/Both: misaligned with the problem (violation of current rules).


Common Pitfalls:
Assuming policy repeal retroactively legitimises past violations.


Final Answer:
Only I follows.
