Parents fume over Delhi schools 'donation fees'
Updated on Sunday, January 31, 2010, 11:54 IST Tags:New DelhiNursery schoolsAdmissions
New Delhi: After undergoing a rigorous selection procedure, parents of tiny tots aiming for seats in top nursery schools in Delhi say they are now facing the biggest hurdle -- 'donation fees' which ranged from Rs 50,000 to Rs 5 lakh.

While these fees left many baffling, others rue that the non-transparent points system and early results reduced their kids' chance to get a seat in schools of their choice.

"A top school in Vasant Kunj has asked for donation of Rs 100,000 for securing our ward's admission," writes a parent on admissionsnursery.com, a website where parents share their admission-related experiences.

"Yes, they asked for an astronomical amount of Rs 1 lakh. Also we are asked to keep mobiles and bags outside so that one may not record their conversations," claims R S Chadha.

Another parent Vikram writes that a top school having its presence through out the national capital has "asked for Rs 5 lakh for a seat under its management quota".

Sumit Vohra, who runs the website, concurs, saying many parents have complained about this trend adopted by almost all private schools in Delhi and NCR.

"This is the true face of the capital's education system, or you can say the commercialisation of the system," Vohra told a news agency.

The Directorate of Education (DoE), he says, is very strict this year but till someone does not bring the problem to their notice how it will take any action.

Delhi Education Minister Arvinder Singh Lovely had earlier said he was aware of violations but his department could only act against a school if it receives complaints from parents.

"If they show us a receipt, we can act on it. Most parents don't come forward," Lovely had said.

The Federation of Public Schools, which has around 300 schools under its ambit in Delhi, also acknowledged the issue.

"We have received some complaints against some schools demanding money without receipt. But when we intervened, the schools agreed to give receipts," says R P Mallik, chairman of the federation, without naming the schools.

He, however, says if parents come out with evidence, "we will take action against the schools concerned".

When contacted, several schools denied such reports and said they always issued proper receipts for payments.

"We give receipt of the full amount of the fees deposited by parents," says Rekha Bakshi, principal of Vasant Valley School.

"Who says, we are not giving receipts? Every thing is very transparent here although we have a higher fee-structure. And then, if you want better education and service, you need to pay more," says an official of Noida's Step By Step School.

Another major hurdle the parents are facing is the early publication of results by some schools. The DoE has mandated that no schools should come out with their results before February 1.

Yes now the next target is DONATION..... U going on n on Sumit ji....
N i think most of the parents would like to raise voice against this....Atleast the aam admi who cannot afford to pay donations......

Even VIS10 took 35000 from us which is non-refundable.... But we do not have any proof as they didnt gave us any reciept for that.... So what can we do in this case?
i know most of us have done our entire schooling with this amount we paid to these schools. where is the limit here.
Going good Sumitji... BOL
when our child has not been admitted to any school in delhi just because of this senseless point system where their is no place for first child . what option we are left with , being an educated parents govt . may try to play with the future of our child , but when we are earning high salaries hoe can we bear our child not studying in the good school.

i beleive govt ,. itself is responsible for forcing the parents to pay the money and purchase the seat for your child in the school of your choice.

i m not in favour of donation but situations force us to be like that.
Hmmmm u have a point Angel..........
I fully agree with u Angel

It means that this system will be go on and on and on, somewhere it has to be stopped. There is a nexus between these private schools and govt. The cut will definitely go to the minister. he is absolutely out of his sense when he says that he can take action only when the complaint is made and parents produce the donation slip. Are schools mad that they will give donation slips in writing. Doesn't Mr. Lovely know how does one get bribed and that amount is unaccounted.

The govt. seems to be reactive instead of being pro-active.

My ward did not get admission in any of the schools and i am not going to pay a single paisa to get him admitted.

However, you can print these ZERO Rupee Note from a website and present them to school authorities.
