we all hv learned and aquired r aware of short comings/loopholes of admission process and the nitty gritty of the admission system.
A zonal centralized nursery admission process that can be devised where DOE/CBSE/any specific body makes a list of kids for a particular school in their specific zone taking a uniform criteria and parents prioritised preference of schools......everything cud be online.
each parent shall fill one form in a specific zone...giving the ranking of their preferred top say five schools...then its for the system to segragates and awards parents ....a list of best of three schools depending on the points scored according to a uniform criteria.
1) documents can be given/verifed at time of appearence in schools u go for...
2)the system has already taken "parents prioritised preference of schools in the respective zones"...so surprise factor on a out of choice school seat shall not come as parents have given the priority....
3)...income shud not be the criteria...except for EWS...for income is variable factor...today i may be hving a good setup..tomorrow not..so income criteria is a big NNNNOOOOO.
4)every thing is comperized and data alteration/security...i think wud be no problem....banks r doing all business online.....
in addition transparency shall be there.
and schools's dadagiri...shud be burried deep into core of earth.
I feel that centralized admission system would really help in making it transparent. If a zonal centralised system is put up question arises as to whether the ppl who are in other zones can apply to them or not. There should also be a way to make the class diverse at the time of admission so that certain schools do not become the exclusive space of a specific class/ strata of the society.
.AASHEN..ITS SUNNY :)..BEING A SOFTWARE GUY I FEEL IT CAN BE MANIPULATED...IN DDA CAM SOFTWARE WERE MANIPULATED..THIS SHUD BE DONE UNDER SUPERVISION OF RETIRED HON SUPREME COURT JUDGE WHO CAN GIVE FULL TIME !!
If you want to train 100 meter dash sprinters, you put your best talent in one school, select the best and send to olympics.
You dont separate them into 100 schools and put them with marathoners, jumpers, javelins etc and then make everybody train in everything.
Thats what schools like DPS, BVN, Amity are doing - selecting the best parents who will help kids perform later, like a 100 meter dash specialist school.
If the rest of the parents bring snob value into these schools and want to get their average kids admitted in them - so that 6000 people apply for 180 seats - the problem is with the parents, not with the schools.
5820/6000 i.e. 97% of parents are going to be disappointed and some will vent their spleen on sites such as this.
SPOC has his perspective (I presume he devised the idea, not sure from what he has written, perhaps its someone else who devised it, he has posted here).
But I have my own. It is just 2 viewpoints out of some 6000, another 6000 will come every year.
I agree that DPS is much better than BVN. But both their aim in life is same - good academics. BVN just hasnt succeeded like DPS has. The only reason they both do sports and extracurriculars is that in IIM and job interview, academics being the same, those with wider range of activities are preferred.
Both do the same - get in topper students from other schools at every class actively, to get the best students in, so that results are good.
Strangely, Mothers, which goes for value education, also has good results in 12th because of fresh intake in many classes. SPV does not do this, except for 4-5 seats which fall vacant
Obviously in this attraction game, the very best will choose DPS RKP if they will have them. If not they chose DPS VK, then BVN or Amity.
From 10th and 12th results, DPS RKP and DPS VK are almost neck and neck. BVN and AMity come next, again neck and neck, allowing for the bigger class size of BVN. When the principals and teachers are putting in efforts (and they are) at least they should get to choose the students.
I also teach (though not at school level) and its very frustrating to teach students who cannot keep up. The best teachers will want to teach the best students, it is how things are. Drona wants to teach Arjuna. (Ekalavya was there in those days also!!! )I n fact, teachers of good students will not be able to teach average students. Similarly, a teacher who will be good for average students will not be appreciated by a topper student who will want to race ahead.
NOMAN..THE IDEA I HAVE MENTIONED IS OF TAN(SUNNY) NOT ME!
IT WAS VERY POPULAR ..SO I REPOSTED IT FOR NEW PARENTS,BUT
I FEEL UR KNOWLEDGE OF SCHOOLS IS EXCELLENT..
SPOC, we are all thankful to you for your efforts in publicising problems as well as solutions.
I didnt understand about Sunny, blog etc. If he wrote in a blog elsewhere, it is great that his ideas get a platform for dissemination.
Whatever solution comes, such ideas should be explored, debated. Bits and pieces of each idea can also be taken to form a whole.
One good thing about Centralisation is this : Let the schools file their point break up system with a centralised authority (DOE etc). They should be available for all to see on RTI. If anyone finds that a school has awarded points to a person which are at variance with the facts, then they should be penalised.
He wrote under blog on our site ..I copy and pasted under
Forum to get more reactions from new parents As this was
very popular among most of the parents .
Sunny is quite busy I suppose as he visited this site 6-7 days
Back.so I didn't want this method to die natural death as we r on
last leg of admissions.and u know blog r not visible after
sometime for new parents ...
For the benefit of new parents and with the same purpose
as you have mentioned i reposted it!!
