Topic: The Hogwartses of our times | Hindustan Times | HT-C C Fore Top School survey split Delhi into six zones - Central, East, West, North, South-East and South-West.: in in many schools in December and January, parents are looking across a wide variety of schools in Delhi to find that perfect fit for their child's needs. Choosing a school, of course, is one of the most important decisions parents will make for their child. Keeping this in mind, Hindustan Times, along with knowledge partner C fore, has attemptedto provide an evaluation of schools in Delhi, based on various parameters - sports, academics, infrastructure, individual attention to students, value-based education etc. For this purpose, the 2011 HT-C fore Top School survey split Delhi into six zones - Central, East, West, North, South-East and South-West. Familiar names such as The Shriram School, Vasant Vihar; Delhi Public School, RK Puram; Modern School, Barakhamba road make it to the top 10 in their respective zones, as one would expect. This year's results also threw up some new names compared to the 2010 survey- more so in some zones than others. For example, the top 10 list of schools in West Delhi saw Mira Model school, Janakpuri and NK Bagrodia school, Dwarka dropping out of the top 10. Taking their place in the top 10 are Indraprastha International school, Dwarka and NC Jindal school, West Punjabi Bagh. Similarly, in the South-West zone, Air Force Golden Jubilee, Subroto Park and Ryan International School, Vasant Kunj have faced the cull from the top 10, with St. Mary's School, Safdarjung enclave making it in the list for the first time. In the South-East zone, KR Mangalam is out, with Tagore International School, East of Kailash gaining a top 10 slot. With a disparate choice of schools, parents look for a good academic record, excellent infrastructure, trained teachers- as well as a good brand. How important is the latter in picking a school today? Brand conscious Brand may not be the only factor in determining a parent's choice of school, but it certainly plays a part. It is a reality that schools recognise. Names such as DPS, Modern, Salwan, with their proven systems of education, have an additional value in the minds of parents. And they are conscious of this value when they pay. "If you want the parents to put their child, and their trust, in your school, you must have a good brand," said Kiran Mehta,principal, Salwan Public School, Mayur Vihar Phase III. Getting a brand name is not easy, and schools that acquire a brand name recognise that it comes with its trappings. Maintaining the standards- attention to students, activities, infrastructure - are all a constant endeavour of these schools. "To reach the top is easy, to stay there is very difficult" said M.I Hussain, principal, DPS Mathura Road. "There is no blind following. Schools must deliver quality, value, worth." Students agree. "It is a matter of prestige for us, studying in a DPS. The school sets certain high standards. I would say that being a Dipsite gives us an edge, in caps lock!" said Iqra Meraj, a student at DPS Mathura Road. Race for 100% In the dog-eat-dog world of college admissions, the past year saw cut-offs bordering on the ridiculous. Parents' concern for the future of their children translates into undue pressure on them during exam time. How are schools preparing their students for a world where good academic achievement may yet result in disappointment? "We are concerned about this trend. Children get disillusioned despite good performances. It is leading to the trend of studying at foreign universities," said Sunita Tanwar, principal, DPS Dwarka. Schools, for one, are helping their students think of the diverse options they have and are training them to pursue them as careers. The pressure for marks has reduced with the introduction of the grading system in Class 10, but this needs to be forward integrated with class 12 and university admissions. "Everybody can't be in IIT or AIIMS, and we train them that way. Knowledge and learning is more important," said Mehta. "The focus is on good all-round performance, so that students have a wide scope to choose from after Class 12," she added. Editor's note: This time it's different Dear Readers, It's time for us to roll out the Top School survey that you have been eagerly waiting for. This time, however, we are making a departure from the past. While the methodology of the survey remains the same as it was last year, the results are being presented with a difference. We are not publishing individual scores and ranks for schools. Instead, we are naming the schools that have made it to the list of top 10, in an alphabetical order that has no correlation with individual ranks. Our decision to do so is based on the response the past editions of the Top School survey received from readers and other stakeholders. While many readers feel the ratings offer a helpful guide to parents seeking nursery admissions for their children, there have been strong suggestions to explore alternative ways to achieve the same objective. We are trying to do just that in the 2011 edition of the Top School survey. Instead of individual ranks and scores, we are highlighting the strengths and weaknesses of individual schools. Do send us your feedback on the new format. It will help us fine-tune the future editions of the survey. Thank you.

Topic: Many parents are happy with the new guidelines but still some are complaining about the distance Criteria Sumit Vohra- Hindu/Asian Age/TOI: possibility of taking legal recourse against the nursery admission guidelines released by the Lieutenant-Governor’s office on Wednesday. The water-tight criteria and the specific weightage prescribed to each has been termed “ludicrous,” and “arbitrary”, while the Lieutenant-Governor’s office has been accused of ignoring the opinion of respected educationists. “We have written, made phone calls and also appealed to meet the L-G, but we have been consistently ignored just because we are not sitting on a dharna. Educationists who have been honoured nationally have submitted their opinion which has been ignored and the guidelines have been issued arbitrarily thoughtlessly,” said National Progressive School Conference executive chairman Ameeta Mulla Wattal, who is also the principal of Springdales School. She was very clear that the “management quota” which most activists sought to colour with suspicion was not something that her organisation - which has the membership of most private schools in the city - was actually bothered about and it was the points that were awarded to each criteria and the manner in which they were supposed to go about it, that was harmful for the school, the parent and the child. “The order prescribes that neighbourhood which has to be allotted 70 points be measured only up to 6 km, this is ludicrous in a city like Delhi. There are about 10 schools located within the area of our school and in some areas there are no schools at all. Places like North Delhi hardly have any schools and other areas like the East and South have about 40 to 50 schools between them. Where are children who have no schools in the neighbourhood supposed to go?” she asked adding that in the past the schools usually adjusted the criteria based on the profiles of their applicants. “It is disadvantageous to those whose siblings have already been admitted last year. If we admitted a child who was living 7 km away last year, we will not be able to admit the brother who applies this year.” The issue of just a five per cent quota for girls was also a sore point. “Around 80 per cent of the children who apply are boys. The quota for girls in the new order is also done through neighbourhood among them and this is severely disadvantageous to the girl child. I speak from experience which unfortunately along with the experience of other educationists like me has just been brushed aside. We will be forced to take legal recourse if we continue to be ignored like this,” she said. “Neighbourhood which has been allotted 70 points doesn’t fit well with areas such as Chhatarpur, Sainik Farms and the remote areas and some areas of East and Central Delhi where hardly any good school falls within the six kilometre radius. The minimum radius should have had been 10 km. Also, if a first child studies at a school situated 10 km away from home and the parents want to admit their second child in the same school they then will be allotted only 20 points that are prescribed under the sibling criteria,” said Sumit Vohra of admissionsnursery.com. ASIAN AGE DEC 20 TOI- DEC 20 Kids in areas with school clusters have an edge Manash Pratim Gohain & Shreya Roy Chowdhury,TNN | Dec 20, 2013, 05.48 AM IST NEW DELHI: The 70 points allotted to the 'neighbourhood' factor - all areas within 6km of a school - wouldn't have elicited howls of protest if the distribution of 'good' schools was a little more even across Delhi. There are schools everywhere but Sumit Vohra of admissionsnursery.com says that Delhi parents tend to consider those schools 'good' which check certain boxes - an established 'brand',and, therefore, age of the institution, and, finally, those that represent a new-enough approach to education to draw what he calls "the creamy layer." He says: "People like to send their kids to schools where the rich and powerful send theirs. They want the 'right crowd'." Judging by these parameters, many groups of parents have found they are staying in areas with no schools within 6km that they would even look at. From the schools' perspective, the 6km cap will benefit some schools and put others, in less densely-populated areas, in trouble. "It is good for us," says Fr. Babu Varghese, principal, Don Bosco, "Earlier, the cap was 10km. Now we'll have fewer applications to deal with. But Carmel Convent is in Chanakyapuri. Where's the population within 6km? Each school's situation is different." Parents residing in areas such as Sarita Vihar, Chattarpur and most of outer and parts of north and west Delhi are now wondering where they stand. Even before this order was issued, many parents were already moving to areas like Vasant Kunj - another area with a high concentration of 'brands' - to improve their chances. Madhulika Sen, principal, Tagore International School, Vasant Vihar, points out that there are 17 schools in the area. But it's not just parents going for the 'brands' who are in trouble. "The fight is over only a few, established schools," says R C Jain, president, Delhi State Public School Management Association ( DSPSMA), "but the neighbourhood criterion will affect those in outlying parts of Delhi worst. Najafgarh kids were coming to Dwarka, Burari ones would study in Model Town and Seelampur children enrolled in Preet Vihar because they believed these areas had relatively better schools. The freedom to define neighbourhood and assign points allowed that. Now these people will be out of the race altogether." The freewheeling with points and criteria - agree both schools and parents - needed to be regulated to some extent and a more transparent system put in place, but this degree of control is uncalled for, schools feel. Schools know where their kids are coming from and kept that in mind while deciding on points.The new system doesn't allow families to send their kids out of their immediate areas," says Jain."There's the huge Army school in Dhaula Kuan with little population around," says S K Bhattacharya, president, Action Committee: Unaided Recognized Private Schools, citing another example, "and there are areas like Karol Bagh which has over a dozen schools in the same area." …; Added by Sakshi (Moderator) at 11:09am on December 20, 2013

With nursery school admissions slated to n in many schools in December I begi begin in many schools in December and January, parents are looking across a wide variety of schools in Delhi to find that perfect fit for their child's needs. Choosing a school, of course, is one of the most important decisions parents will make for their child. Keeping this in mind, Hindustan Times, along with knowledge partner C fore, has attemptedto provide an evaluation of schools in Delhi, based on various parameters -sports, academics, infrastructure, individual attention to students, value-based education etc. For this purpose, the 2011 HT-C fore Top School survey split Delhi into six zones -Central, East, West, North, South-East and South-West. Familiar names such as The Shriram School, Vasant Vihar; Delhi Public School, RK Puram; Modern School, Barakhamba road make it to the top 10 in their respective zones, as one would expect.

For example, the top 10 list of schools in West Delhi saw Mira Model school, Janakpuri and NK Bagrodia school, Dwarka dropping out of the top 10. Taking their place in the top 10 are Indraprastha International school, Dwarka and NC Jindal school, West Punjabi Bagh. Similarly, in the South-West zone, Air Force Golden Jubilee, Subroto Park and Ryan International School, Vasant Kunj have faced the cull from the top 10, with St. Mary's School, Safdarjung enclave making it in the list for the first time. In the South-East zone, KR Mangalam is out, with Tagore International School, East of Kailash gaining a top 10 slot.
