Delhi: The Delhi High Court on Monday ordered private schools in Delhi to not allow nursery admissions till it gives a final verdict on the validity of government's 2010 notification and whether it follows the Right to Education Act. "Schools cannot formulate their own admission policies," the court further ordered.

The notification allows schools in Delhi to formulate their own guidelines and preferences based on religion, sibling and alumni to admit children in nursery. The court had earlier said the Centre and the Delhi government cannot "dilute" RTE Act by allowing unaided private schools to use their own criteria for nursery admissions.

The court had also said the ongoing nursery admission process in Delhi would be cancelled if it decides to "quash" the notification issued on December 15, 2010 by the Directorate of Education (DoE) on behalf of Delhi government.

@ Sandeep , totally agree with u in everything u said .Not allowing interviewing children for nursery admission is good enough , the rest of the criteria and point system is just unnecessary , and i think schools do have a right to choose their own criteria for admission , some might take distance as important , others might find something else important .Neightbourhood is really unfair .And in any case , with school buses plying all around the city , how does it matter .This would have been valid if all schools were the same , they're not , and schools that have good names , have it b'coz they did a few things right in the past , why should they be forced to give up their autonomy.The problem lies with the parents who think fair means getting into the school of their choice , and everything else is unfair.
