Quota in Sanskriti School can be extended to lower category staff too: govt.
Attorney General Mukul Rohatgi on Thursday suggested before the Supreme Court that the reservation in the prestigious Sanskriti School can be extended to cover children of lower category government employees too, rather than preserving it exclusively for wards of Group-A officers.
“The Union of India had already filed an affidavit in the Delhi High Court in which we said the School has been advised to grant reservation in admissions to the wards of Group B and C employees as well,” Attorney General Mukul Rohatgi, appearing for the government, told a Bench led by Justice Anil R. Dave.
Sixty per cent seats in Sanskriti School are reserved for children of Group-A officers, 25 per cent for those from the economically weaker sections, 5 per cent for its own staff and 10 per cent for the rest of the society.
The Delhi High Court had, in November, set aside the 60 per cent quota for children of Group-A officials. It compared the policy to the “erstwhile segregation of white and black students in the U.S.” and said it violated constitutional provisions of equality and right to education.
Both the government and the school administration had sought an interim order so that the litigation in the Supreme Court would not thwart admissions. They said the nursery admission process under the local laws began on January 1 and the school was already behind schedule.
Senior advocate Kapil Sibal, who is amicus curiae, advised a balanced approach, with an eye on the fact that the school ensured quality education for the children of officers who are often transferred or sent on foreign assignments.
The Bench has fixed the case for interim order on January 11.
Private Schools Spreading Confusion On Nursery Rules, Says Manish Sisodia
Manish Sisodia, who also holds education portfolio, said that the schools can make admissions as per their own "reasonable criteria system", but there should be transparency and fairness in the process.
Mr Sisodia, who also holds education portfolio, said that the schools can make admissions as per their own "reasonable criteria system", but there should be transparency and fairness in the process.
"Confusion is deliberately being spread that parents will have to face problems in getting their child admitted to schools due to government's decision to scrap management quota.
"Some private schools are confusing parents that government has also scrapped points of girl child and siblings," he told reporters in New Delhi.
The minister said that the registration process for admission has started from January 1 and will continue till January 22 and schools cannot do assessment during this period.
"Government has given time to private schools for assessment from January 22 to February 5," he said.
Allaying the fears of the parents, Mr Sisodia asked the private schools to come clean on the registration process and upload their criteria on websites.
The Delhi government had recently scrapped management and all other quotas except for the EWS in private schools for nursery admissions and warned that the institutions violating the order could be taken over by the education department.
The Deputy Chief Minister, while defending the move, stated, "Whatever High court has said in its order, we are only enforcing them in the admission criteria that's why we have scrapped quota system. There were several criteria which contained quota over quota."
Management quota was one of "the biggest sources of corruption" in admission that we scrapped. Government is getting good response from parents' association on this decision, the minister said.
The government's decision came in the midst of the nursery admissions in over 2,500 private schools in the capital.
