See section 80c, it is written that deduction in term of tuition fee is permissible, nowhere it is written school fee or education fee. it means all other except tution fee r excluded from 80c.
If in a school fee breakup, tution fee is mentioned then that amount will be taken for 80 C Deduction only.
[xvii] as tuition fees [excluding any payment towards any development fees or donation or payment of similar nature], whether at the time of admission or thereafter,—

[a] to any university, college, school or other educational institution situated within India;

[b] for the purpose of full-time education of any of the persons specified in sub-section [4];



This is the bare act
Deduction is avail under 80C regarding tution fees if it is paid to a registered institution and for full time course
