DCPCR notice on nursery admissions

TIMES NEWS NETWORK

New Delhi: Delhi Commission for Protection of Child Rights (DCPCR) sent a notice to the Delhi government on Monday asking it to release the new guidelines for nursery admission without further delay. As the right to education (RTE) has to be implemented in schools from the new session, parents are anxiously waiting for the directorate of education to clarify the admission criteria for nursery this year.
‘‘Taking a suo-motu cognizance of media reports on the issue, DCPCR has written to the principal secretary (education), government of NCT of Delhi, that it is high time that guidelines were issued without any further delay,’’ a DCPCR official said. The commission has also stressed that neighbourhood should be the only criteria for nursery admissions under RTE and all other parameters under the point system should be scrapped.
Parents and schools have been clueless about the procedure for nursery admission so far. According to DoE sources, they will still take at least 10 days to issue the guidelines for this year as they are waiting for a response from the MHRD. ‘‘The admission process for nursery is supposed to begin from December 15 in all schools. The guidelines will be out by then,’’ an official said.

A DCPCR official said: “Taking suo motu cognisance of media reports on the issue, the commission has written to Chief Secretary Rakesh Mehta saying that it is high time that guidelines for nursery admissions be released”.

Education Minister Arvinder Singh Lovely had earlier said that the slight delay in formulating and releasing the guidelines for the nursery admissions was due to the enforcement of the Right to Free and Compulsory Education Act.

“The notice reminded the chief secretary of a consultation on nursery admissions guidelines held at the DCPCR office in June this year. The consultation, which had representatives of the directorate of education, the Municipal Corporation of Delhi, the Kendriya Vidayala Sangathan and others, unanimously decided that neighbourhood should be the sole criterion for admissions,” the official said.

“It was also decided that no screening test should be conducted and capitation fee should attract defaulting of schools. The point system should also be scrapped,” the official added.

If neighbourhood becomes the only criteria it is going to be lot more simpler for many patents to get thier child admitted in schools.Of course the options eill be limited.

I suggest Mr Lovely lists a School admission share on the stock exchange.It shall definately be the most speculative,thanx to him/and by the way is there some kind of a connivance between the education ministry with the health ministry...someone please check...maybe there is a scam here too!!!!!!!!!!!!!.they want us all to have a heart attack so that before our children find a seat we definately fund a hospital bed and a few pharma companies.FOR GOD'S SAKE CANT WE HAVE A STABLE AND PERMANENT CRITERIA ONCE AND FOR ALL....Y SHOULD WE ALLOW THIS TO HAPPEN TO US YEAR AFTER YEAR?
