Nursery admissions in Delhi will not begin on January 15 as some private schools on Monday moved the Delhi high court against the new guidelines, terming them illegal and arbitrary.
Some unaided private schools challenged a single-judge bench order that had on January 10 refused to stay the government notification setting down criteria for admissions.
The new norms were issued by lieutenant governor Najeeb Jung last month. Unaided private schools are those who do not get government grant.
The city has around 1.25 lakh nursery seats as against almost 1.50 lakh applicants. The top 50 schools get most applications even as seats remain vacant in the remaining 1,000 schools.
While it refused to stay the new guidelines, a division bench of justice Pradeep Nandrajog and justice Jayant Nath indicated that certain admission guidelines needed a "re-look".
“This (petition) needs detailed hearing. We are simply deferring the hearing without any order," the bench said. The Delhi government assured the court that it would not commence the admission process on January 15 and wait for its order.AS ADMISSIONS WONT START FROM 15JAN ,WILL DEPEND ON JUDGEMENT OF COURTS ON 15 JAN.
Court: Minority institutes can devise own rules
TIMES NEWS NETWORK
New Delhi: The Delhi high court on Monday stayed the operation of certain provisions of Delhi government's nursery admission guidelines concerning minority schools, saying these institutions are free to devise their own procedures and should be treated “differently”.
Pointing out that there are apex court verdicts safeguarding the rights available to minority-run institutions under the Constitution, Justice Manmohan said “treat them differently and the right to administer a minority school also contains the right to devise procedure for admission so long they (procedures) are fair and transparent.”
Granting interim relief to Society of Catholic Schools of the Archdiocese of Delhi and the Forum of Minority Schools, which represented nearly 50 institutions, the court said that keeping in view the decisions of the Supreme Court, such schools are “entitled to admit students according to their own procedures so long as they are transparent and fair and accordingly, the impugned notification is stayed.”
City gets a nursery helpline
1,724 Complaints On 1st Day, 3-Day Time Frame For Resolution
TIMES NEWS NETWORK
New Delhi: The series of court cases on the new nursery guidelines didn’t deter the Delhi government from launching a helpline and a web application to “facilitate” pre-primary admissions. Chief minister Arvind Kejriwal launched these the same day the government told the high court that it will postpone the admission process, initially scheduled to start on January 15.
The helpline received 1,724 complaints on the first day.
Education minister Manish Sisodia says he wants to make sure grievances are dealt with as soon as possible. Officials will have three days to resolve matters related to a complaint. Each private unaided school will have a board with the phone number of the area’s education officer as well as the helpline number at the entrance. “This is just to assure parents that the government is with them,” says Sisodia.
The management of the helpline has been outsourced to a call centre. The helpline can be accessed from 9.30am to 6pm. Parents can call on the number 27352525 – there are 30 lines currently manned by four-five “trained call executives” – and register complaint. They will receive a “unique identification number” through SMS and within three days, another text message saying what action has been taken.
Every morning, Sisodia will get a list of complaints registered from officials and another list of matters that have been closed. “I will crosscheck. I will randomly pick 10 parents, call from my own phone and ask them if they are satisfied with the solution provided,” he says. Earlier he had warned the officials, “If we find that you are at fault, there will be action against you as well.” The complaints registered through the helpline will be forwarded to both the school the complaint is against as well as the education officer. Kejriwal tried the helpline at the launch but it was already engaged.
The web application which can be accessed from the Directorate of Education’s website —www.edudel.nic.in-—will carry information on schools. Parents can select their own location from a list and find details of all the schools in the area.
“This part will evolve further. Eventually, parents will be able to compare school through charts to make informed decisions,” says Sisodia. He said the problems faced by teachers will also be addressed but there “should be no compromise on the main goal with is to create an educated society.”
Referring to the court cases challenging the new nursery guidelines— which finally led to the postponement of admissions—Kejriwal says, “All schools are run by trusts and not for money. The schools should stop resisting the changes.”

sansan sir, one has to sacrifice self centred approach. I am neither a social reformer nor an educationist. Yet I think for the community as a whole. You can't be biased for one purpose i.e. education for all. If this is not the case,these stays would have been rejected immediately, but it was not because hon'ble judges found something different and just wait for the result for some definite change.
That is why I am monitoring this forum since its inception. Taking out something useful is just like taking out juice of any fruit.

Yes, Mr. Sansan, I do support Mgmt Quota because of my justification given to you. If I am wrong, plz suggest how can a child get admitted if he doesn;t make to any of the school he applies.
You know last year a parent applied to 40 schools and he could not. Sakshi is witness. Now suggest in absence of quota, how one can get it.
We should request the govt. to encourage bodies to open schools round the earth and not a specific zone only. Anyway plz suggest idea to my problem.

There you go.. I was right...
Management Quota is a part of total number of seats & not a bunch of separate seats.
Case 1: Supose total of 120 kids apply for admission to a school.
Suppose Total Seats=100
Suppose no management quota is there.
Then a total of 100 kids are admitted & 20 kids are left without admission.
Case 2: Suppose there is management quota:
Management Quota=20*
Suppose Rest Gen=80
Total=100
Then a total of 100 kids are admitted 80 from gen + 20* from management quota.
20 gen kids are left without admission.
So you want to substitute gen quota kids (parents who can not afford to bribe the management) with kids who can buy seats !!!
Which is exactly one of the issues for which the PIL was filed = malpractices, unaccounted money transactions, un-equality, schools becoming cozy clubs of elite etc
The case of a parent who was left out (40 schools) was exactly due to someone buying the very seats which might have landed into her/his kid's lap, had management quota been not there.

No, this is your perception. My question was how can you admit a child who did not get admission in any of the school like last year a person applied to 40 school, yet he could not secure a seat for his ward. What is his fault? Will you help me? If yes, how? You mean mgmt quota invites donations, my reply to donations is 'NO'. I can prove it. Admission can be granted without donation also. Can you do so with your self centred approach.

'Justice delayed is justice denied. After all for whom. for everyone concerned because of some self made social servants. They have made the education system complete failure. How many parents are now happy with their fighting and their victory or loss. Complete failure bringing ill-feelings about our government functioning as well.
Social jurist who initiated this issue please stop it, if you can't think progressively. Your approach doesn't seem to be a matter of benefit for all. Let us fight equally for all and bring equal opportunities for all. You took the advantage of getting praise after LG guidelines that you won the battle and now what. Plz come forward and speak about your plans so that parent can be satisfied. No planned action plan at all. wasting everybody's precious time.

Who says that Justice is delayed, it is only wrt current admission session you are saying that, what about future ???

So called Fair Guidelines came when the admission process is about to start.
Why it was not released earlier and all discussion/ court cases done before December.
It is really adding worries/ confusion the way our system works.

It was on court direction that LG came out with guidelines. Last date for issuing guidelines was 18-12-2013, which was complied.

Exactly mr. Anjush Mathew, this should have been done earlier somewhere in May June to October 2013. So 3 months time was left for both the parties to be heared in case of writs if any. This late decision is a set back for parents and schools to re-plan their whole activities. Anguish all over.
