Dear Mr. Minister,

Though I can understand finding an optimum solution to the pre-primary / primary schools is a herculean task in itself, but what I completely fail to comprehend is how and why the learned members of the Ministry of Education, or the DoE, or other Govt./ NGO organisations cannot analyze and gauge pros and cons of each step they take... in a hurry albeit, without making use their OH-SO-SHARP minds !!!

Without any doubt, you guys are so very intelligent and the fact that you do not even bother to understand the rationale behind any instruction which changes the admission criteria from one extreme side to another extreme side of the scale.

You may not have thought about this, but with the new directives of yours and your departments' other learned fellows, the average junta WHO ARE SEEKING ADMISSION FOR THEIR 1ST WARDS, OR WHO ARE LUCKILY NOT SINGLE PARENTS, OR WHOSE WARDS ARE NOT GIRL CHILD; HAVE NOT EVEN A FAIR CHANCE OF BEING SHORTLISTED EVEN FOR A LUCKY DRAW.

All in all, the simple question that I and a lot of 'normally living people like myself' are not able to contemplate is WHY cannot the combined brilliance of the intelligent-cum-elite babu-neta clan at the helm of affairs fairly able to draft a commonly acceptable admission criteria which gives fare chance to all.. BE IT THE WARD OF AN ALUMNI, OR 'NORMAL' ACADEMIC BACKGROUND, OR FOR THAT MATTER OF FACT THE-OH-SO-POOR PROFESSIONALLY QUALIFIED PEOPLE LIKE US who have now started asking their own respective parents after being hit by your directive as to why they let us be professionals in the very first place.

With warm wishes & salute to the learned elite,
A dejected professionally qualified parent of a nursery-admission-seeking child.
