Quick Summary
School fees treatment depends on context. For schools it is income. For individuals it is personal expense, recorded in capital account, not business expense, though eligible for deduction under section 80C.

If you are maintaining School books of Accounts in Tally ERP 9 , then school fees received by school will be under the head Income of Income & Expenditure A/C .
J.E will be

Bank A/c Dr
To School Fees A/c Cr
( Being school fees received for the month)
School fees is indirect expenses.

School expenses a/c dr
to Cash/Bank a/c

P/L a/c dr
to school fees a/c
How one can include school fees in Business , or Business expense . It's personal expense of Students . It's only income of school .
It omes under capital Account
If the school fee received is related to school books of accounts, then Mr. Prasad Nilugal is correct but in case if in the case school fee is paid by an individual doing other than the school business as his children school fee, it should be charged to capital account and can be claimed as a deduction u/s 80C upto a limit of 1.5 lakh @ time of filing ITR
One question, 5 answers all different
It is a capital expenditure
But Vijayalakshmi madam who ask this query , still not clarified , that she has received School fees or paid school fees . If she maintaining School accounts then she received school fees .so we can't decide , it's Expenditure or income , her clarification is necessary .

School fees can be categorized under the "Indirect Expenses" head. This is because school fees are considered an expenditure for educational services and are not directly related to the core operations of the business. 

CAPITAL A/C DEBIT SIDE RIGHT
