Schools move SC
over nursery admissions

By Mail Today Bureau in New Delhi

A DAY after their plea was dismissed by the High Court, unaided private schools on Tuesday filed a petition in the Supreme Court seeking a stay on nursery admissions guidelines issued by Delhi Lieutenant Governor Najeeb Jung.

However, nursery admissions began on Tuesday as per the notification of Directorate of Education, even as some parents said they have been caught unawares.

“ We have filed a petition today ( Tuesday) in the Supreme Court, and tomorrow our lawyer will mention the case in the court, seeking an urgent hearing,” said S. K. Bhattacharya, Chairman, Action Committee of Unaided Recognised Private Schools.

Bhattacharya added that the case is expected to come for hearing on Friday.

The December 18 guidelines issued by LG Jung had made some sweeping changes to the previous guidelines that were operational for the last seven years. The new guidelines have increased weightage to ‘ neighbourhood’ criterion and have scrapped the 20 per cent ‘ management quota.’ Meanwhile, confusion prevailed among parents and schools on the first day of nursery admissions, as many among them were unaware that admissions process has begun on Tuesday.

“ I was expecting some relief will be given to parents by the HC. I was expecting admissions will start in few days and I have not even collected all the documents.

It is only now that I came to school to take the form,” said Rohit Chabra, who reached Salwan Public School in Rajinder Nagar around 3pm.

While few parents said they were having difficulty in filling the online admissions forms, some school authorities said they were ready to help. “ We have started our admission process from today as we have to follow the rules.

There was a lot of confusion as the notification from Directorate of Education came late and we had to do a lot of preparations. Any parent who finds it difficult to fill the online forms can come to school for assistance,” said Rekha Krishnan, principal, Vasant Valley School.

Despite cold weather and rain, parents queued up to collect forms, even though some of them knew that their wards do not fulfil the ‘ neighbourhood’ criterion of Jung’s guidelines. “ I have no option but to try my luck. There are no good schools near my residence.

So, I am trying at all the schools even if they are beyond 8 kilometres. The schools are also helpless as they have no authority to consider my case,” said Shalini who lives in Chattarpur.

At many schools, parents had to return empty handed as forms were not being given over the counter and were only available online. Schools that are also selling forms over the counter include DAV Public School; Saint Giri; Glory Public School; Tagore International, East of Kailash; Ryan International, Vasant Kunj; Ahlcon Public School and ASN School in Mayur Vihar.

The last date for submission of applications to schools is February 5.

Admissions will close on March 31, according to a Directorate of Education notification. The date for the first list of selected candidates is February 28.

No they are not asking for proof of income. They simply asked for proof of occupation and highest qualification.

So, should we submit the forms or not?

This admission process will not get hindered. Go ahead.

Thanks Lathaa, but is it confirmed? What if they get the stay from SC? And if the criteria changes. Would our submitted forms still be valid?
