Share..Schools in Delhi are free to frame their own guidelines for nursery admissions in the coming session, state education minister Arvinder Singh said on Wednesday at a press conference.
However, it did lay down one rule to be adhered to - schools can not ask for parents' qualifications or their income or any such criteria which may be the basis for class discrimination.
Proximity to residence, siblings who are alumni, single parents, female candidate - these are few of the criteria that could be used by the schools for admissions, the minister clarified.
Singh said that according to the HRD guidelines schools are free to identify any category based on principles that are fair, just and reasonable within the ambit of RTE act and are not favoring any one.
Effectively, the government has decided not to tinker with what the schools have been using as alodestar for admissions since the last three years, except for doing away with discrimnatory criteria. The minister said the system will be a “mixture of criteria and lottery.”
Schools, however, are required to get their set of criteria cleared by the state department of education. Once cleared, the schools will have to announce the same through their respective prospectus, websites and display boards.
Singh did not rule out a point system and said schools can retain it provided they distribute the categories in a 100-point system. The minister said, "We cannot fix one category for all schools as each school is different. For example, there are schools which are not located near residential areas so they do not prefer neighborhood criteria.”
RTE guidelines had caused much flap amongst parents and schools, saying that admissions were to be made in a random manner, to steer clear of discrimination.
The Delhi government had sought clarifications from the centre following which Singh said that the word was used to denote equal opportunity for all children and “if there are children not falling under any category, then schools can admit them through random selection by a lottery system.”
Under RTE norms all schools will have to reserve 25 pc of the seats for students belonging to economically weaker sections (EWS). Those schools which already reserve 15 pc of their seats for such students will ahve to increase it to the specified number. Thelegislation also makes it mandatory for schools to fill all such seats. In case they fail to do so, they are required to inform the DoE about it.
While the minister acknowledged that management quota had fallen out of favour with schools and the DoE both, he said that schools may reserve upto 20 pc of the seats from the 75 earmarked for the general category.
The minimum age for admission will remain the same i.e 3 years and older and the admission process would begin from January 1, 2011 and shall be completed by March 31, 2011.
The minster said that the state has largest number of schools and it is assured that “no child will be left out of school

Thanks Sakshi mam..
This news piece gives the complete picture to be to be screened in name of Nursery Admissions in coming weeks with all rights given to the Schools after a few sensoring here and there by the DOE..
As per this report...Mr. Minsiter is saying that out of 75% seats schools can reserve upto 20% seats for their Management Quota...that means effective General Category will be having only 60% of total Nursery seats to file for...and this can go further low if some other quota like reservation for staff&teachers comes into play..
We can only hope that let the sense prevails to the schools and they get more numbers of good quality of students who will come only from General seats....and its ultimately the academic reputation of school that comes into play in longer times...

Dear Government... please have mercy on us...

These guidelines are total surrender to the school lobby. Now, each school will fix the categories according to their advantage.
Even Alumini is the indirect way of profiling the child...... example DPS, Modern school alumini kids will definately belong to higher income class...so give more stress on Alumini and siblings and you have the kids of the rich in your school....

general category people should leave this country & stay some where else . what is the need for having any seats for general category persons that should also be allocated to reserved category people , there should be 100 % reservation for them and management quotas(how the schools would make money) so that schools can do whatever they want. This is not a discrmination then what it is???????

The writing was quite clear on the wall when parents were not included. It was a negotiation between schools and the govt. I said it before and am saying it again .... Let's approach the court. They have made mockery of us and ultimately done what suits them i.e schools and govt. They will continue to do so unless we stand united and do something concrete. It would be great if sumit from here and Rajan arora from nursery admissions join hands and together challenge this with our support and backing. The middle class cannot continuously suffer for the sake of votes. By all means implement the RTE act but don't do it at another citizens cost for the sake of votes.

sumit ji i agree with hena. As we were discussing today morning the govt has made their intentions very clear, let the schools decide how they wanna exploit the parents & give admissions according to t.heir own will. I wud also request you to take legal advice on how can we challenge this in court. Lets be united & believe TOGETHER WE CAN
