It’s pillar to post for parents of little ones

Going back on its decision, the Directorate of Education (DoE) has decided to not come out with a schedule for nursery admissions, compounding the problems of parents grappling with different admission schedules and criteria announced by schools.

“We have decided that we will not be coming out with a schedule, at least till the Delhi High Court hearing on January 15. We may approach the Supreme Court, but a decision on that will be taken in the next couple of days,” Padmini Singla, director (DoE), said.

The DoE had said it would announce a schedule “shortly”. It had also stated that it would move the Supreme Court against the High Court’s verdict on admissions.

To stop schools from issuing their own schedules, the DoE had sent a legal notice to the Action Committee for Unaided Recognised Private Schools, the umbrella organisation for private schools in the city, asking them not to go ahead with the admission process for academic session 2015-16 till the Supreme Court’s verdict.

But going against the notice, most schools announced admission to nursery over the weekend, with many planning to do so after Christmas.

“Many school have announced the start of admissions from Saturday. Others will do so from January 5, but many have not even declared the admission dates, putting parents in a fix. It was hoped that DoE would come out with a schedule. But now parents are set to have a hard time,” Sumit Vohra, who runs a portal for nursery admissions, said.

On November 28, the High Court quashed the nursery admission guidelines issued by Lt-Governor Najeeb Jung last year, terming the government’s decision as “neither procedurally proper nor rational”.

The court had observed that, prima facie, there was no case to issue a stay order on the rights granted to schools to frame their own admission guidelines. The court, however, agreed to hear the main pleas, challenging the single-bench order on January 15.

People have reached to the moon and we can't even figure out a system for our Nursery admissions. Every year there is same mess. Are we to believe that its more difficult than rocket sceince?

Is this a ploy from both sides to put pressure on each other by delaying the matter till it goes out of proportion in March.
Why was the matter not resolved before July-Augu st?
It seems the fight is more on time lines pressure than a legal fight.
