New Delhi: The nursery battle has come to a close with the last few schools in the city coming out with their results on Sunday. At least seven schools released their lists of selected candidates but in complete violation of the recent high court order — some of the schools have not given the break-up of points scored by each candidate.
Schools like DPS Vasant Kunj, Sanskriti, Mother’s International, Vasant Valley, Heritage in Vasant Kunj, Air Force Bal Bharti, Shri Ram Vatika in Vasant Vihar, Srijan School in Model Town declared their qualifying points over the weekend giving relief to some parents, while also dashing the hopes of a few others.
However, schools like Vasant Valley, Shri Ram Vatika and Sanskriti haven’t given any break-up of points on their websites but only the total points. Though the high court had ordered in December last year that the schools will have to publish the entire break-up of points scored by the child according to the parameters set by the school, many schools in the past have not adhered to it. ‘‘I had applied to Shri Ram School online, which gave the break-up of points right after the form was accepted. But the school has not given the details of the points scored in the group discussion that was conducted later,’’ said Sumit Vohra, a parent and creator of
admissionsnursery.com.
However, Manju Bharat Ram, chairperson, Shri Ram Schools, said that as parents were aware of their points already, there wasn’t any need of repeating it on the website. ‘‘The parents know the break-up of their points. As for the group discussion’s 20 points, they can ask for it from the school,’’ Ram said. Vasant Valley director Arun Kapur refused to talk on the matter as he was out of town. Sanskriti principal could not be reached for comment.
The high court order had directed the government to ensure that all the schools declared their results with points scored by the candidate against each parameter. But the directorate of education (DoE) is choosing to ignore the violation till someone comes up with a complaint. ‘‘We have communicated the court order to all the schools and it is also available on our website. Any parent can inform us about it through e-mail,’’ said Reena Ray, secretary, DoE. The Centre for Civil Society (CCS), which had earlier filed a petition following which the high court had come out with the order, is now planning to write to DoE in this regard.
R Baladevan, associate director, CCS, said, ‘‘Schools are clearly violating the court order. We will send a warning to DoE on Monday reminding them that that this can amount to contempt of court. If DoE doesn’t take any action now, we will move the court again.’’
