HINDU~16 JAN ~Parents worst sufferers in admission drama| SUMIT VOHRA
Nervous parents whose children are seeking admission to nursery this year claim that the Delhi Government, court proceedings and the schools are making them rework their office schedule and keeping them virtually on tenterhooks.
“I will have to plead with my boss again for another day off with the High Court reserving the judgment on the new nursery admission guidelines again on Wednesday,” said Tarun Jit Singh.
“I had kept everything ready. My leave was scheduled. But, there is no clarity either on the part of the government or schools on when the admission process will begin. I am fed up calling up schools and checking their websites about the admission schedule. I can not always pester my boss for a leave,” Ms. Singh said.
As the new norms were laid down by Lieutenant-Governor Najeeb Jung on December 18 for nursery admissions for the year 2014-15, a group of private schools filed a petition against them in the High Court alleging the guidelines as a “hindrance in their functioning”.
Earlier, the admissions were scheduled to begin from January 15, but on Monday, January 13, the High Court deferred the case for a final judgment on Wednesday.
With the High Court reserving its judgment and not fixing a particular date for it, parents say that the logjam between the government and schools is causing deep mental agony to them.
“The government should have come up with the norms in March-April. The less time has made things complicated for us. I am upset with whatever is going on. The parents are the worst sufferers, as nothing goes according to plan,” said a parent Kusum Sachdeva.
Social activist and founder of the website www.admissionsnursery.com, Sumit Vohra said the authorities concerned should frame a conclusive policy for nursery admissions so that admissions take place on their scheduled time.
“From the last three-four years, nursery admissions have always been a bone of contention. The various issues regarding admissions do not trouble anyone else than the parents,” said the activist.
Mr. Vohra alleged that schools are only fighting for management quota and are not worried about the difficulties parents are made to go through.
Meanwhile, a mixed response prevailed among the principals of various private schools regarding the alleged infringement of autonomy of the schools by these guidelines.
“Each school has a different character and a vision for itself and its students. Due to these guidelines, the schools might be facing the problem in their functioning and an intrusion in their autonomy. However, these guidelines shouldn’t be seen as an attack and the neighbourhood criterion can’t be refuted as it is an important point,” said Sanskriti School principal Abha Sehgal.
“As per the Supreme Court judgment delivered in 2002 and also the High Court’s approval of the Ganguly Committee report, the private-unaided schools have the fundamental right to select and admit students in their institutions on the basis of the self-framed and transparent guidelines. The new guidelines take away the autonomy and have reduced the schools to merely post offices. The Lieutenant-Governor has no jurisdiction to take away the autonomy of these schools,” said Action Committee advocate Kamal Gupta.
According to a Delhi Public School RKP PRINCIPAL, there is always a principal body, management committee and a society to govern the school. “We at Delhi Public School follow our society’s and management committee’s guidelines. However, we will follow the High Court judgment. The Court is the best institution to decide in the interest of the students and the system.”

It's not a matter of taking leaves from office only. This whole system should be reworked & aligned properly at once for all. Every year nursery admissions in schools getting more popular than admissions in colleges. Why.. Only because of schools are running as this is a highly profitable business instead of social activity now. I don't mind to get my child admissions late but i really want this situation to get close for all at one... temporary solutions does never work for long...

Its high time now that the court should come up with a decisison. What were they doing all these days. Admission is delayed from 1st jan to 15th to 16th and even now we dont know. Our work gets disturbed. Also going though a lot of mental pressure and tension due to this delay. Cant even go out.

Well said Mr.Vohra. We are in need of constructive framework of policy regarding admissions since year after year parents are suffering with the same problems and admissions which has to go in smooth way is now a great torture.
Why can't we have an Early Childhood Education Commission at National level and Early Childhood Education Boards at State level which should be incorporated to look after the needs related to Early Childhood Education, Development, Policy reforms and Regulation. All the responsibilites of the school like admission process, Curriculum standards, fixing fees, salary of staffs, Health, Safety and education research can be looked after by the board. It can also look into matters related to regulation of play schools and child care facility. We can also ensure that RTE reaches every child in the country.
I can't accept that new guidelines have reduced the schools to merely post offices. During previous guidelines we could not get admission to any neighbourhood schools which were just 5 minutes walkable distance in a populated school area. But according to new guidelines it is now possible.
There is nothing wrong to embark upon a massive exercise to review and restructure the mail operations in Post Office whose main function is collection, processing , transmission and delivery of mails.
High-quality early education are vital to future economic growth and Govt. has seriously intend to provide policy and regulation framework towards early childhood education.

Thanks for your kind words Pankaj what is the min age criteria in Mt Carmel ?

Sakshi, I need to find that out as presently I haven't read the registration form and the prospectus. Would update in sometime...
Keep up the good work!

In the form Minimum Age Criteria isn't mentioned. It seems parents are required to fill in the Age as on Mar 31, 2014... Confused now... Why the min age criteria as specified by DoE isn't mentioned in the form.
Already they are selling the form and prospectus at Rs. 150/- and now this Age Criteria. Let's see what's in store!!!
