DPS Gurgaon puts admissions on hold
New Delhi: Many parents who had their interaction for admission to nursery in Delhi Public School (DPS), Gurgaon, scheduled for Wednesday were in for a surprise. The school suddenly suspended its ongoing admission process citing the Right to Education (RTE) Act as a reason.
A notice to this effect was put up on the school’s official website stating: ‘‘As per the latest government instructions regarding RTE, there are some changes in method of admitting children in various classes. In the absence of clear guidelines/decisions at this moment, we are suspending all activities pertaining to the admission process with immediate effect.’’
Parents believe DPS’s move to stop admissions for the moment may turn into a precedent for other schools in the NCR which are midway into the process of admissions. DPS, Gurgaon, had started selling admission forms for nursery on August 2, with August 10 being the last date for submission of applications. Several children had been selected on the basis of the interaction that was scheduled on subsequent days. Many parents have already paid the admission fee, but now the selection of their child may stand invalid in wake of the new circular that came on Wednesday.
Although the school assured the parents that it will follow the directives of the government and will be transparent in its admission process, this development has unsettled those parents, who have already paid the admission fee.
As per the RTE Act, no child shall be put through a screening process (interview or written test) at the time of admission. The Gurgaon branch of DPS had, however, interviewed candidates applying for admission to nursery, which is in contradiction with the provisions of RTE.
