The association claimed that the last PCE revision was in 2017-18, with rates of ₹16,000 for primary and ₹8,000 for higher primary classes.

The High Court of Karnataka has ordered issue of notice to the State government on a petition seeking fixation of ‘Per Child Expenditure’ (PCE) and reimbursement for the academic year 2026-27 to the unaided private schools towards 25% of the students admitted under the provisions of the Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education (RTE) Act, 2009.

Also, the court ordered issue of notice to the Central government on the plea for a national protocol for determining the PCE under Section 12(2) of the RTE Act.

Justice H.T. Narendra Prasad passed the order on a petition filed by the Associated Managements of Primary and Secondary Schools in Karnataka, which represents over 4,000 private unaided schools in the State.
