Lottery system lacks transparency’

It seems that the lottery method adopted by schools to select students for nursery has not gone well with parents. Many parents alleged that this method has reduced the transparency in the nursery admissions procedure. Many schools which conducted a draw of lots for general category for nursery admissions are facing the same charges. Notably, the lottery system has been introduced in the nursery admission procedure from the current session.

A parent who had applied to Bal Bharti Public School, Rohini said, “The school conducted a lottery for nursery applicants on Thursday, but I was not even informed about it. This is so vague. According to my calculations, I must have scored 45 points. I am hearing that the school called up the parents of students who scored 45 points.” Bal Bharti Public School, Rohini conducted a draw of lots for all applicants who scored 45 points on Thursday. The school conducted a draw because there was a tie among many applicants at 45 points.

Another parent, a resident of Dwarka, said, “There are many schools which are not calling the parents at the time of conducting the draw. I think it is their duty to call us at that time because ultimately it is the future of our child that is at stake.”

Citing an example, the parent added that Mount Carmel School, Dwarka conducted a draw without calling the parents. However, the parent added, “I found the system at Bal Bharti Public School, Dwarka fair because they called me on January 25 when they conducted a draw for 356 students who had scored 45 points each.” There are 101 seats for the general category at Bal Bharti Public School, Dwarka.

Sumit Vohra, the founder of admissionsnursery.com, said, “The schools should call the parents when they conduct a draw for the nursery admissions. Not calling the parents at the time of draw indicates that the lottery system lacks transparency.”

Similarly, Laxman Public School, Hauz Khas also conducted a draw of lots for applicants in the general category who scored 65 points. The website of the school clearly says that there were more than 1,000 applicants who scored 65 points so, draw of lots was conducted for them by the executive council members of the Parents Teachers Association (PTA) on Thursday. Raman Sharma, who had applied here for his three-year-old son said, “This is unfair. The school should have informed us.”

Laxman Public School Principal Usha Ram said, “We conducted a draw in front of the PTA for the general category. There was no need to call the parents in this case. Parents are to be called only when we conduct a draw for the economically weaker sections (EWS) category.”

नर्सरी एडमिशन की भागदौड़ जारी है। गुरुवार को कई बड़े स्कूलों ने ड्रॉ निकाला। कुछ स्कूलों ने 45 पॉइंट वाले कैंडिडेट्स को भी चांस दिया तो कहीं ग्राफ 80 पर्सेंट तक पहुंच गया है। इनमें सबसे ऊपर लक्ष्मण पब्लिक स्कूल हौजखास का नाम है। हालांकि, कुछ स्कूलों का एसएमएस भेजकर सिलेक्टिड कैंडिडेट्स को बुलाना पैरंट्स को ठीक नहीं लग रहा है। उनका कहना है कि ऐसे में पारदर्शिता नहीं रहेगी।
लक्ष्मण पब्लिक स्कूल ने दो लिस्ट निकाली हैं। कन्फर्म लिस्ट में 105 कैंडिडेट्स का नाम शामिल है और वेटिंग लिस्ट में 20 का। कन्फर्म लिस्ट में शामिल कैंडिडेट्स 80 से 65 पॉइंट वाले हैं। स्कूल प्रिंसिपल डॉ. ऊषा श्रीराम का कहना है कि हमारे पास 80 से 65 पॉइंट्स वाले एक हजार से भी ज्यादा कैंडिडेट्स थे, ऐसे में पैरंट्स टीचर्स असोसिएशन की सहमति से हमने लॉटरी निकाली है। यहां 31 जनवरी से 2 फरवरी के बीच डॉक्युमेंट्स वेरिफिकेशन होगा। उन्होंने बताया कि वेटिंग लिस्ट इसलिए निकाली गई है ताकि बाद में कुछ एडमिशन कैंसल हों तो खाली सीटों पर वेटिंग लिस्ट वालों को एडमिशन दिया जा सके। श्रीराम स्कूल वसंत विहार ने 45 पॉइंट हासिल करने वाले 195 कैंडिडेट्स को बुलाया है। स्कूल के अधिकारियों का कहना है कि जिनके 50 पॉइंट्स हैं उनका यहां एडमिशन पक्का है। बाकी स्टूडेंट्स को सीटें बचने पर एडमिशन मिलेगा।
उधर बाल भारती स्कूल रोहिणी ने ऐसे कैंडिडेट्स को एसएमएस भेजकर बुलाया है जिनके 45 पॉइंट्स हैं। स्कूल ने कोई लिस्ट जारी नहीं की है, ऐसे में पैरंट्स में काफी रोष है। उनका कहना है कि बिना लिस्ट के हमें यह पता नहीं लग पाएगा कि हमारे बच्चे को चांस क्यों नहीं मिला। यही तरीका मंगलवार को डीपीएस द्वारका ने भी अपनाया था। मॉडर्न पब्लिक स्कूल शालीमार बाग ने प्री-प्राइमरी और नर्सरी के लिए अलग-अलग लिस्ट निकाली है। एजुकेशन फॉर ऑल संस्था के फाउंडर सुमित वोहरा का कहना है कि पैरंट्स को यह पता चलना चाहिए कि उनके कितने पॉइंट हैं। मगर कुछ स्कूल सिर्फ कैंडिडेट का नाम ही जारी कर रहे हैं तो कुछ एसएमएस भेजकर सिर्फ सिलेक्टिड लोगों को बुला रहे हैं। यह तरीका पूरी तरह से गलत है। दिल्ली सरकार को इन मुद्दों पर गौर करना चाहिए, क्योंकि सिर्फ नियम बना देने से कोई फायदा नहीं होगा। इन्हें सख्ती से लागू करना भी जरूरी है।

I endorse the sentiments of Mr. Pramod Kumar. LPS is just looting and I am of the view that the parents should not send their children to such a school as what they will learn in the foundation years going to such a school where everything starts with corruption and unfair practices. Even though my child did not get through with 65 points in hand, I would have not opted for LPS, had he got there, even if it is one of the very nearest schools.

it seems laxman public school (LPS) doing every thing for LPS by LPS through LPS only. they are entitle to do every thing.

what is the role PTA in case of nursery school admission. it is same like we are criminal , we are selected jury, among ourself selected both advocate and passed the judgment.

conducted draw and shown to parent ( a poor community) and shown DOE " THAYNGA"

DOE should take immediate action for re-draw for those schools who lost parents trust. School itself can also take responsibility for sake of parents.
