Schools ‘interview’ kids, parents

Parents continue to face hard time as schools once again ignored the nursery admission guidelines issued by the Directorate of Education (DoE). Specifically, refusing the application of children based on parents’ qualifications and job profile. Many schools, rebelling against the DoE guidelines are interviewing the parents and children, while asking the families to return to the schools on specific dates for further ‘interactions’.
Father of a three-year-old from West Delhi area said, “On Saturday, when the Sapling School in Paschim Vihar called us with our son, we expected it to be a normal verification process. But we were shocked with the outcome, as the school authorities ended up taking a formal interview of ours”. The father added that the interaction seemed like a job interview and that he is scared if other schools too will follow the suit.
While the DoE guidelines were meant to protect the parents from such things, many parents feel let down and harassed from it. One such parent, who was called for an interaction said, “I had been called for an interaction session by a reputed school in West Delhi, as I had not taken my child for the session. The school asked me to return with my child. Although my child was not interviewed, his activities were continuously being monitored and the teachers took notes regarding this.”
Similarly, another parent from North Delhi area felt cheated, when a well known school from Rohini asked him to deposit `200 for the form. The parent said, “I have also been told by the school that I along with my ward will be called for an interaction after January 15”. The DoE guidelines clearly state that schools are not allowed to interview neither the parents nor their wards in any part of the nursery admission process.
Meanwhile, some schools have decided to cut short the time period allotted to parents for sale and submission of the forms, causing the parents to much distress. A parent from Nangloi area said, “I am wondering what the Government is actually doing. The schools are going on violating one norm after another. St Francis, Janakpuri out rightly denied the form on Saturday saying that they would not sell any more forms. How can they give us so less time for buying the forms? Has not the DoE mentioned in its guidelines that the schools are supposed to sell the forms till January 15”?
It is pertinent to mention that the time for sale and submission of nursery forms has already been shortened by 15 days as compared to last year’s procedure. Notably, St Francis School, Janakpuri has already been sent a notice by the DoE earlier in regards to violation of norms for nursery admissions.
Deputy Directors of Education will be present in their offices in every district from 10 am to 1 pm till January 15 to address the complaints of parents regarding schools flouting DoE guidelines. Parents can communicate their grievances through the DoE website.

National victor is calling both the parents with the child for interaction.when we tell them the kid will have to take one day off from school then the lady at reception replied-"agar achhe school mein admission karana hai to ek din ki chutti to karani hi padegi"
when we asked- you as a teacher yourself suggesting us to take off from school then she replied-"sirf ek din ke liye hi to keh rahi hoon"
Now who will explain her that almost all the parents have filled forms for more than ten schools and if each school will call on a different date then how many holidays will a child need to take?
Harward academy which is hillswood now was charging Rs 25 at the time of giving forms and charged Rs 25 more at the time of submission of forms.
DAV shreshth vihar-online form was for Rs 25 but at the time of submission of forms there was a separate line for the people who filled online forms and the teachers sitting there were asking parents whether they will take the prospectus or not...they were having the prospectus with them,Those parents who purchased forms from school got it with prospectus for Rs 125 as we know.
Salwan public schoolMV also gave the prospectus forcibly and called the parents and child for verification of documents.Two or three teachers were checking the documents at the reception and were directing parents to see their exhibition and requesting(forcibly) to write comments about the exhibition.After waiting for 15-20 minutes we were redirected to the principal's room where two teachers were sitting and asking questions about the documents attached.We didnt understood that if the documents are attested then why they are cross checking it by asking questions.Within five minutes they told us to leave..
