Soon, special helpline for school admissions
TIMES NEWS NETWORK
New Delhi: Education minister Manish Sisodia is all set to launch a helpline to redress grievances related to school admissions. The dedicated helpline will work under the direct supervision of the minister and will be made functional around the time admission process starts. This is seen as the new government’s first move to end the culture of “donations” and prevent corruption at any stage of the admission process.
“A helpline is the first step to address grievances linked to admissions. Parents generally have nowhere to go when they are confronted with problems in the admission process. We are working out the modalities of how this helpline will function and will follow-up on the complaints to ensure that redressal is done wherever possible. This helpline will be functional for a limited period — the period for admissions,” Sisodia said.
He said the number will be announced shortly and its specific focus will be defined so that callers know the purpose of the facility. “I will directly review the complaints to the helpline and accordingly strategize the reforms required,” Sisodia added.
Soon after taking charge of office on Saturday, Sisodia had said, “I have keen interest in education as a subject and it is my priority that education system, particularly the private sector, is freed of this donation system and the management understands that education is not for profit. I seek to bring transparency and standardization in the fee guidelines.”
“Also, the system of admissions should be such that when anyone goes to get their child admitted they should not feel afraid but be sure of the system being responsive to them. There are 199 schools in the pipeline—most of the cases pending for over a year. We will first expedite these to deliver the dream of 500 schools promised by AAP,” he added. On Monday, Sisodia reviewed the school projects pending with the department.
Business Standard
Delhi government will soon set up a helpline number to attend to nursery admission-related complaints.
"We will soon launch a helpline number dedicated to the nursery admission related issues and I will supervise that and take necessary action accordingly," said Delhi's Education, PWD and Urban Development Minister Manish Sisodia today.
The helpline is expected to start working before January 15, he said.
On the issue of opening 500 new schools which AAP had promised in its manifesto, Sisodia said he held a meeting with the education, finance, fire, MCD, PWD and other concerned departments to discuss the subject.
"195 locations had already been identified during the last government's tenure but they are either stuck with DDA or MCD for various reasons. So, we have asked the concerned departments to give neccessary clearnces in a time-bound manner," he said.
Sisodia said government is working on a roadmap to regularize the 1639 colonies.
"Out of the 1639, 895 colonies are regularised only on papers as residents of the area are yet to get the property title rights. The remaining are yet to be given clearance in principle," Sisodia said.
"Actually, there are 1639 applications and many of these applications (around 40) are just fake which means some colonies don't even exist and then there are duplicate applications. So, the total number of the colonies are less than 1639 figure," he said adding his department is assessing the credibility of the applications and will provide them with basic amenities.
