City school withdraws houseowners clause

A couple of days after the Hindustan Times reported that The Mother's International School was offering admission in nursery to wards of only those parents who owned a house in the city, the much sought-after school has changed its policy.

The school has now changed its

undertaking and is not asking parents for proof of ownership anymore. Under the earlier process, parents who filled up the forms were asked to file an undertaking to verify that they were in ownership of the house they were residing in.

This information was not available upfront on the school website. Only when a parent filled up the form did the condition appear.

"We state that we are in occupation of house no (address) as owner (proof of ownership enclosed) and/or my spouse is the owner of the same," the second point in the undertaking had said. It filters out all those parents who live in rented accommodation or government accommodation despite having valid residential proof such as passport or voter IDs.

The new undertaking now says, "We state that we are residing at (address). (Address proof enclosed)." A large number of parents had complained against the previous undertaking.

Mother's International one of the most sought after School in Delhi bend down to Mr.Sumit Vohra who highlighted the "Proof of Ownership" a baffling criteria laid by the School.

So from "No Seat" to "Right for a seat" if you don't have a house in City. Thanks to editor Mallica Joshi Hindustan Times and DOE Director Mr.Amit Singla who took this matter seriously and got resolved.

Special Thanks to Mr.Sumit Vohra who made top most school to adhere to DOE guidelines and RTE Act.
