Sources in the state Education Ministry gave no hint of the topic to be discussed in the meeting on Wednesday, but sometime back the chief minister had flagged the issue of exhorbitant student fees demanded by private schools.
She had told the Assembly in March during winter session, "We have very good private schools, colleges and universities in our state. But there are some which are charging so much... Demand so much. I think there must be control at some point."
During the meeting, Banerjee is likely to ask school representatives to chalk out a guideline to serve as a basis on which the state government will formulate a policy on fees.
