Hindustan Times - Nursery Admissions-3 Apr -Who gifted kids, parents nursery nightmare? Who will fix it now?

HT Correspondent, Hindustan Times New Delhi, April 03, 2014

For Amit and Ishita Khanna, the last four months have been a nightmare --– first came the long queues for forms, then complicated guidelines and now, the endless wait for some clarity on the nursery admission process.

“Every day for the last four months, I have thought about my son’s admission and have drawn a blank. What sort of a system lets parents suffer even after four months?” a harried Ishita said.

The logjam over the admission process, which continued on Wednesday with the Delhi high court moving the hearing in the case to Thursday, has left thousands of parents angry and anxious.

Fate of close to 125,000 children hangs in the balance. The admission process has been dragging on since December 18, when lieutenant governor Najib Jung came out with guidelines drastically different to the ones followed for years.

The confusion can be gauged from the fact that since December, the government has come up with 15 different notifications and there is still no clarity.

A number of experts that HT spoke to were of the view that if an overhaul of the admission process was planned, the guidelines should have been released much earlier and schools made part of the decision-making.

Parents think no different. “If the changes were to be so drastic, why weren’t all the stakeholders involved? Why weren’t the guidelines released earlier so that we didn’t have to suffer unnecessarily?” said Meena Nair, whose son got through to a school of their choice but can’t complete formalities till the court allows admissions. “Each year, the same issues are discussed over and over again but a resolution is never reached,” she complained.

Karan Yadav, another parent, wondered why did the LG have to change the guidelines?

“Schools were managing and students were getting admission. At least it was better than what is happening now,” Yadav said.

This is the longest that nursery admissions have dragged on. Typically, by March-end the process is done and dusted. But this year, nursery session is looking at a late start.

The litigation started early January when schools challenged the new rules. Next month, it was parents’ turn.

But not all parents’ are on one side -- while one set is opposing the alumni and sibling points, other is furiously defending them.

The parents, it seems, are losing patience and faith in judiciary as well. “We though the court would understand our suffering and bring out a verdict quickly. We are losing patience now,” Nair said. The court, on its part, has come down hard on the government for the mess that admission process has turned into.

NEW DELHI: The Delhi High Court may come out with a verdict in the lingering nursery admission battle on Wednesday.

AJAY AGGARWAL/HT PHOTO This is the first time that the litigation has stretched till April and admissions have been delayed for so long.

But parents and schools are already fed up of the endless litigation that the process has been dragged into this year. The Lieutenant Governor declared guidelines that were drastically different as compared to last year’s guidelines on December 18. Even weeks before the final announcement, there was no news about what they may contain, catching schools and parents by surprise.

The litigation started in early January when schools went to court against the new rules, followed by parents in February.

For the past three years, one or the other stakeholder has gone to court regarding either the minimum age criteria or the autonomy of minority schools. This is however, the first time that the litigation has stretched on till April and the admission process has been delayed for so long.

The process has been most trying for parents who have had to grapple with one guideline today and another the next day.

Nursery admission being one of the most trying times in a parent’s life in the city in any case, the litigation and uncertainty has added to their anxiety manifold.

The biggest losers in the entire process have been parents who have followed all guidelines that were passed.

The admission process was usually done by March 31 till the previous years. In fact, admissions under the first and second lists were completed by mid-February.

Close to 15 notifications have already been issued by the Directorate of Education in relation to the various aspects of the admission process. The first of these was issued on December 18, when the guidelines were issued.

According to experts, the schools need to be made part of the decision-making process to ensure that the policies can be implemented.

“Involving schools is very important as they understand the admission process inside out. There can be checks and balances in place to ensure that they don’t misuse their power but cutting them out is not a solution,” said a former principal of a prominent south Delhi school.

Litigation following the declaration of nursery admission guidelines has become a regular feature that has plagued admissions for the past few years.

This year’s admission season has been particularly ruthless to parents with the process being postponed and then challenged in the Supreme Court after which an endless battle started in the Delhi High Court.

Comment by Pooja Duggal on April 5, 2014 at 10:06am: dear Mr. Vohra and AN team..I would like to bring to your notice that Heritage School Rohini is not following the court orders in the following manner:

1) They took out two draws one on 26th Feb and other on 4th March--as per the court orders only draws before 28th Feb are to be considered ..they are considering the darw list of 4th March

2) The court had said ..admissions to be granted to all confirmed candidates of the first list and after 16th would decide the to whom the empty seats would go...waitlist, IST etc. You Mr. Vohra has also voiced abt this issue of waitlist in Media..your interview

3) They say the 2nd list was the list with 70 pointers therefore that would be considered...however the first list also was the list containing 70 pointers (all in waitlisted)...the court said consider the first list and give admission to all confirmed seats..the saets vacted by IST..would then be decided between the waitlisted candidates..

I seek your immediate intervention on this...please please help and highlight at all the right forums..pls

Comment by kunal mittal on April 4, 2014 at 8:43pm: simply all first draws by schools for 70 ppointers ll be valid...

Comment by Prem Mehlawat on April 4, 2014 at 8:42pm: HI Richa , in 3rd point its invalid if its conducted after March 8th Verdict of court of cancelling all the draw held prior to that.

Comment by Jatil Kumar Singhal on April 4, 2014 at 8:40pm: Richa Simple thing if i am not wrong.

1. Kids selected in draw when transfer points were there (before 27th Feb) is still selected.

2. Some school who did draw (first draw) after 27th feb will also remain selected as they did draw for all applicants (Transfer pointers and 70 pointers).
