Nursery admissions: NAC writes to Delhi Chief Justice against Centre on RTE
Ads by Google Refuting the Centre’s stand in the High Court that the Right to Education (RTE) Act does not apply to Nursery or pre-school, a member of the National Advisory Council, RTE, has written to the Chief Justice.
Vinod Raina, who was part of the drafting committee of the RTE Act and is a member the Central Advisory Board for Education – highest advisory body on education – in his submission to the Chief Justice has said that “where as the RTE Act is binding on the government as regards children in the 6-14 age group, it provides a choice (section 11) for the government as far as the 0-6 age group is concerned. The affidavit of the government that the Act does not cover the 0-6 age group is therefore simply not correct; it instead implies that the government has decided not to act on the choice provided to it in section 11 of the Act for the 0-6 age group.”
Agencies.
The High Court is hearing a petition by NGO Social Jurist that has challenged notifications issued by the Centre and the Delhi Government in 2010 that gave private unaided schools autonomy to formulate an admission policy based on a category-based system.
On February 13, the Centre told the High Court that the Right to Education (RTE) Act, except for the provision that reserves 25 per cent to Economically Weaker Sections (EWS), does not apply to nursery or pre-school. And therefore that the prohibition under the RTE Act to screen children and collect capitation fee applies only to elementary education (children from 6 to 14 years).
Raina in his submission to the High Court has stated that, “it would be illogical to read the Act in a manner that malpractices in admission ought to be controlled only at the school level and not at the pre-school level. This would induce unscrupulous managements to transfer all induction level admissions to pre-school level. That would make a mockery of the spirit and provisions of the Act.”
The Centre’s stand has surprised those who have been involved with the RTE Act. Shanta Sinha, Chairperson of the National Commission for Protection of Child Rights, which is monitoring the implementation of RTE Act, has described the Centre’s stand as “disappointing.” (Read full report here.)
The High Court’s decision on the petition is expected tomorrow (Tuesday).

Nursery admissions: Delhi High Court to give verdict tomorrow
Press Trust of India | Updated: February 18, 2013 20:38 IST
New Delhi: The Delhi High Court is likely to pronounce its verdict on Tuesday on a PIL challenging government notifications giving powers to unaided private schools to formulate their own criteria for nursery class admission.
A bench comprising of Chief Justice D Murugesan and Justice V K Jain is expected to deliver the judgement on Tuesday morning on the PIL of NGO Social Jurist filed against two notifications issued by the Union Human Resources Development Ministry and the Delhi government.
It was alleged in the PIL that the notifications negated the Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act (also known as RTE Act) as the private unaided schools were allowed to formulate their own criteria for nursery admission.It also amounted to favouring a child over another on various grounds such as alumni and sibling by categorizing them, the petition said.
The verdict will assume significance in the backdrop of the Centre's contention that the RTE Act is not applicable to nursery admission and the city government can make its own policies.
Additional Solicitor General Rajeeve Mehra, appearing for HRD Ministry, had said the RTE Act provides for "free and compulsory elementary education" for children aged between 6 and 14 years and the state government is free to make "rules" for pre-school education for kids below 6 years.
However, Ashok Agarwal, counsel for the NGO, had opposed the contention, saying that it would virtually negate RTE Act as no seat would be left for six-plus kids.
On November 23, 2010, the HRD ministry had issued guidelines under the RTE Act that had allowed the schools to frame their own admission criteria, the NGO has submitted.
Later, the Department of Education of the Delhi government also issued similar guidelines, it said.
Earlier, the court had asked the Centre to clarify its stand as to whether the RTE Act is applicable to nursery admission or not.
The Centre had responded by saying the Act stipulates that the free and compulsory education would be provided to a child between the age group of 6 to 14 and that the states were free to formulate policies to govern pre-school (nursery) admission.
The court, during the hearing, had made it clear that its decision on the PIL would also affect the nursery admission for the 2013-14 academic session.
The PIL had alleged that the notifications gave "a totally free hand to all unaided recognised private schools to formulate their own nursery admission criteria based on categorisation of children."
However, the categorisation of kids in admissions have specifically been barred by the RTE Act, it submitted, adding that some schools still give preference in admission on grounds such as religion, alumni and sibling.
A federation of private schools, however, opposed the PIL, saying that the private institutions cannot be forced to "toe" the diktat as far as the admission process is concerned.

there is something to cheer for I guess, if the Hon'ble HC takes this letter and recommendation in the same spirit it was addressed.
