String of nursery admission orders puzzles parents

NEW DELHI: The numerous orders and notifications being issued regarding the nursery admissions every other day has left parents confused. No one is sure what the status is at present, which court - the high court or the Supreme Court - will finally decide what happens to the admissions this year and when their tots will start school. Some schools starting classes on April 15 hasn't helped matters.

Parents have begun consulting their own lawyer acquaintances for clarity. "A client of mine is an SC lawyer. I had a talk with him on the current situation. What he told me about SC dates is very alarming. He told me that in SC, dates are given many months away in normal cases and if the SC thinks the case is very sensitive and time-bound, and needs an immediate judgment, the best they can do in these cases is give dates 20 days away," says a parent. Another parent adds that it seems unlikely - factoring the schools' summer vacations and the courts' dates, along with general delays - that the process will begin before September.

There is also worry over the fees that many paid during the few days admissions were permitted by the high court. That round closed on April 9 and the April 3 order allowing admissions has been stayed by Supreme Court. "One court told us to decide and deposit fees within a few days and another has stayed that process. We had secured the seat for our child by paying a handsome amount," says another.

Some parents gathering on admissionsnursery.com are even considering appealing to the petitioners and asking them to withdraw the case.

"What about parents who have already paid a quarters' fees as per the last HC decision? Will schools refund them if the session begins after the summer vacation? Many parents, expecting the case to go on till after the summer vacations have cancelled holiday plans," says Sumit Vohra of admissionsnursery.com. He adds that several minority schools - and even the odd non-minority one - beginning session on April 15, has confused parents further. The starting of session on April 15 wasn't a high court direction but that of Directorate of Education.

Rashtrya Saharaराकेश नाथ/एसएनबी नई दिल्ली। राजधानी के पब्लिक स्कूलों में नर्सरी की पढ़ाई शुरू नहीं हो सकती है। सुप्रीम कोर्ट में दाखिले को लेकर लगाए स्टे के बाद सेशन शुरू करने को लेकर भी रोक लग गई है। शिक्षा निदेशालय के निदेशक पदमिनींिसंघला ने कहा कि स्कूल फिलहाल सेशन शुरू नहीं कर सकते हैं। पहले जो आर्डर निदेशालय की ओर से निकाला गया था, वह 4 अप्रैल का था लेकिन 15 अप्रैल को सुप्रीम कोर्ट द्वारा दाखिले पर लगाए गए स्टे के बाद पहले वाले ऑर्डर पर भी रोक लगती हुई दिख रही है। यदि किसी स्कूल ने सेशन शुरू कर दिया है, तो उन्हें यह नर्सरी का सेशन रोकना होगा। बता दें कि हाईकोर्ट में बुधवार को सुनवाई के बाद अपनी सुनवाई 7 मई तक टाल दी है। एडमिशन नर्सरी डॉटकॉम के प्रमुख सुमित वोहरा ने कहा कि कोर्ट ने सुप्रीम कोर्ट के फैसले के आने तक की बात कहते हुए सुनवाई टाल दी है। उन्होंने कहा कि स्कूलों में नर्सरी की क्लासेज न शुरू होने से अभिभावक भी परेशान हैं। उनका कहना है कि उन्होंने तीन महीने की फीस दे दी है और स्कूलों में पढ़ाई नहीं हो रही तो उनकी दी हुई फीस क्या रिफंड नहीं होनी चाहिए। शिक्षा निदेशक पदमिनी सिंघला ने बताया कि स्कूलों में सेशन को लेकर फिलहाल रोक की स्थिति है, स्कूल नर्सरी का सेशन शुरू नहीं कर सकते हैं। साथ ही उन्होंने यह भी कहा कि फिलहाल सुप्रीम कोर्ट के आदेश को लेकर लीगल एडवाइस ली जाएगी कि नर्सरी का सेशन शुरू किया जा सकता है या नहीं और इस बाबत एक स्पष्टीकरण जारी किया जाएगा। पीतमपुरा वसुधा एन्कलेव स्थित एमएम पब्लिक स्कूल की प्रधानाचार्य रुमा पाठक ने कहा कि सेशन शुरू करने को लेकर भ्रम की स्थिति बनी हुई है, इस कारण स्कूल ने नर्सरी का सेशन शुरू नहीं किया। उन्होंने कहा कि इस भ्रम की स्थिति को देखते हुए निदेशालय को जल्द ही एक स्पष्टीकरण जारी करना चाहिए जिससे स्कूल व अभिभावकों को राहत मिले। रोहिणी स्थित माउंट आबू पब्लिक स्कूल की प्रधानाचार्य डॉ ज्योति अरोड़ा ने कहा कि बुधवार को फोरम ऑफ पब्लिक स्कूलों की एक बैठक हुई, जिसमें इसी बात को लेकर र्चचा शुरू की गई। डॉ अरोड़ा ने कहा कि यदि निदेशालय का स्पष्टीकरण आ जाए तो सोमवार तक स्कूल में नर्सरी का सेशन शुरू करने का विचार कर रहे हैं।

नर्सरी एडमिशन शिक्षा निदेशालय सेशन शुरू करने को लेकर लेगा लीगल एडवाइस सेशन चालू करने को लेकर पब्लिक स्कूलों ने की बैठक 7 मई तक टल गई नर्सरी की सुनवाई पेरेंट्स की टेंशन बढ़ी, अब और इंतजार

I too agree with the admission of all kids in schools and starting of session for all kids, but if the court proceedings are going for a long way, how can we send our child in a playschool

like my son has become 4 years old, and i feel really sorry for him to send him playschool with 2.5 years kids. And i dont want to say anything against our judiciary, but i feel very helpless, despite getting admission of my son in a school (in first draw).

Lets think for once that the session starts.
1) kids who hv got admission will start adjusting in their respective schools.then if SC passes an order for a redraw.....again their schools will change and they hv to adjust themselves again in some other school.
2)wat about kids who have not got any admission or who will get admission in the 'next slot'.imagine half class doing counting 1-10 and half d class already completed it and doing counting from 10-20

What if half class doing counting 1-10 and half d class already completed it and doing counting from 10-20....I guess every kids have already done counting from 1-30 by now in their play schools.....its not a the big deal....even parents can teach them at home...

DOE should come up with guidelines for fee adjustments from the start of session for the quarterly fees already paid by parents if admissions remain confirmed and updated refund policy if they want to change any other school. (depends on SC verdict)

I think this forum is lacking a good accountant and a auditor. As regards Fee refund, school should follow existing fee refund policy that is only in case of withdrawal within a month from the date of admission. If the session starts in July, then Schools will not refund the fee nor they will adjust the fee for next quarter. Dear friends, who will pay salary to the teachers who are now engaged in some other activities for 3 months? If they are not paid because of this mess, what is their fault? Apply it on you or your employee. Reasoning will be clear. I am sure SC will not pass any order regarding fee adjustment or refund till June. Schools are not at all fault.

Dear friends, not only teachers many other staff is involved for all this, be it guard, sweeper, aaya, drivers, conductors etc. Everyone is criticizing schools but not other elements who brought chaos to this problem.

I do not agree with any of the parent on this issue of fee refund or fee adjustment and hopeful nothing would come from the SC favouring parent community in this regard. I am having many other reasons to justify my stand on this. Why don't you understand the real problem? Decision is awaited and we started raising among us another issue. Very smart parents! This is the way to start a session for kids. Kids are waiting eagerly for their new school and we are busy in evolving new issues and that too when one is not solved yet. It hearts me.

@ Mahesh Jain Sir

I have notice that you always mention the private schools as goons school...actually what does it means...If these are goons schools then why r u trying to admit your child in such schools...u being a teacher of govt school should give preference to your schools..instead of cribbing everyday that ur kids is not getting admission anywhere....I hope in staff quota he/she will get entry easily....also free studies...
