Delhi Assembly Clears 3 Major Education Bills
New Delhi: Three bills, aimed at reining in private schools, doing away with screening process in nursery admissions and scrapping of no detention policy till class 8 besides bringing in overall systemic reforms in education sector, were on Tuesday passed by Delhi Assembly.
Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said the proposed legislations will significantly help slash fees in private schools and if laid down norms are not followed, then violators will be slapped with hefty financial penalty and jail term.
The Delhi School Education (Amendment) Bill (DSEAA) and the Delhi School (Verification of Accounts and Refund of Excess Fee) Bill stipulate hefty fine and imprisonment for violators of various provisions. Ahead of the passage of the bills, two BJP MLAs staged a walk out. The AAP had issued a whip to all its MLAs to vote in favour of these bills.
As per the DSEAA, offenders can be levied penalty of different grades for taking interviews at the entry levels including the nursery admission and charging capitation fees.
Under this amendment, offenders will be liable for a fine which may extend up to Rs. 5 lakh for the first contravention and Rs. 10 lakh for each subsequent contravention.
The Delhi Schools Verification of Accounts and Refund of Excess Fee Bill has a host of provisions aimed at ensuring that private schools show greater accountability in fees accepted and money spent.
Erring schools shall be punishable with fine which may extend to 10 times the capitation fee charged or Rs. 5 lakh whichever is more, the bill envisages. The repeated offenders may also be imprisoned ranging from 3-5 years.
The bill also proposes that the salary and allowances payable to, and terms and conditions of employees of recognised private schools shall be on par with those in government schools.
The Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education (Delhi Amendment) Bill seeks to do away with the no-detention policy till Class VIII by amending relevant sections of the Right to Education Act, which the government argues, were "prohibiting" quality education in schools.
The Delhi government will now send the bills to Centre for its approval. Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia said private schools will not be allowed to charge excess fee from the parents.
Mr Kejriwal rejected Opposition's claim that the education bills will benefit private schools, saying under existing policy, nobody can run a school honestly.
"These bills will remove shortcomings of existing education policy. After new legislation, private schools can be run honestly. Government will form a committee which will get accounts of private schools audited through chartered accountants," he said.

Dear Sakshi,
I believe these rules will be applicable to Delhi schools only and not NCR schools. Please confirm.
Thanks,

Great! I'm somehow not in favour of scrapping "No-detention policy". Yes, no detention till Class 8 is a problem, but at least till Class 2, a child should not be detained.

i am yet to understand the implications for these bills for us. Will this tighten the school admissions or relax them and make them easier and fairer. What about the criterion the schools give for admissions each year- how will they be impacted? lets see what we face this year? No delhi schools have opened admissions as of now particulalry in South delhi area- have they?

its a good bill and welcome to save innocent parents.
but there is no clarification for centralized admission criteria for general seat and ews seat.
we donot want to be dependent on school as they fudge the admission numbers and procedure.
there should be centralised draw in presence of parents and DOE,education institution with single form as student data are only of single page with option of school in the partcular areas with respective fees like DDA housing draw.Draw will allot school as per draw nos and option of school.A centralised data will be maintained of who get admission and how many seat are vacant and updated daily as school are harassing the parents and cannot be trusted.this will save time,paper and money.dont allow the school to have draw
