Confident of HC relief, most schools stick to old criteria

New Delhi: Schools authorities are in "wait-and-watch" mode. Despite the order on nursery admissions, most haven't tweaked either their criteria or their seat distribution. With a few exceptions, schools are continuing with the registration process as they are expecting Delhi high court's intervention.
"We are giving out and accepting forms. There are a lot of questions on principals' groups but this will be challenged," says Tania Joshi, principal, The Indian School. The set of three parameters the school had allotted points to includes the very common criterion of 'first-born child.'
Similarly, Amity International, Pushp Vihar's "sister-school" criterion has been found objectionable. "I went through the entire list of 62 cancelled criteria and found only that. The administration will decide what to do with management quota and sister-school points," says principal Ameeta Mohan. Till then, Amity will continue to accept applications online.
Birla Vidya Niketan had points for girls. "Around 55% of the roll strength is boys. We wanted the ratio to be balanced," says principal Minakshi Kushwaha. "We didn't do anything today but discuss this with others," she continues, "Our registration process is online-and that's continuing-but one parent did called me to express concern."
Some of the criteria 'cancelled'-points for non-smoker and teetotaller parents, non-vegetarians-had been selected by Jain minority schools that are beyond the jurisdiction of Delhi government. There is confusion about the status of points for siblings too. Some schools had, instead of assigning points, allotted seats to criteria like siblings and alumni. It is this "reservation" that the government has objected to.
However, there is the odd institution, such as PP International School, Pitampura, that has made some changes-its new distribution states 25% seats are for EWS quota and the remaining 75% for general category. However, "A subset of 10 % of total seats, of 75% general category seats, is available for siblings."
Sumit Vohra of admissionsnursery.com points out that parents are now concerned about delay in the admission process. "Many are worried that they'll have to fill forms again."

Schools adopt “wait and watch” policy
A day after the Aam Aadmi Party government decided to scrap management and all other quotas for admission to nursery, the association of private schools on Thursday decided to approach the Delhi High Court.
Representatives from nearly 1,500 private unaided schools will meet the Action Committee of Private Unaided Schools on Friday to decide the future course of action on the matter, which is already sub judice.
The association had moved the Court in 2014, after Delhi Lieutenant-Governor Najeeb Jung had notified the scrapping of quota. A Single Bench had granted autonomy to the schools to decide the quotas. The government had challenged the judgment seeking a stay before a Division Bench, but the matter is still pending. A hearing in the matter will come up on January 21. The association, however, is planning to seek an early hearing since the application procedure will be over by the time the Court gives its decision.
Delhi State Public Schools’ Management Association president R.C. Jain said: “We will meet representatives from private schools on Friday to decide if we should seek an early hearing from the Court in this matter. If we wait till January 21, it will be too late. Application forms for nursery admission are being filled till January 22 only.”
Meanwhile, schools are still adopting a “wait and watch” approach as most have not started complying with government orders to remove the option of management quota from their admission forms. PP International School is the only school to have complied with the order so far.
The association expressed concern over how a change in the system will affect nursery admissions, as many parents have already applied to various schools.
“Whatever be the decision of the Court, the admission process is definitely going to get affected. We cannot understand why the Cabinet has taken this decision in such hurry. It seems that the action of the government is motivated by vengeance in view of private unaided schools refusing to provide their buses to the government for implementation of the odd-even scheme,” Mr. Jain added.

arents and activist have welcomed the Delhi government's cabinet decision to do away with the "highly opaque" management quota seats alongside striking off more than five dozen criteria's in order to make nursery admission fairer, transparent and more reasonable.
"This is a very good move as the schools often reort to discriminatory measures denying admissions to genuine candidates on pretext of one or other criteria moreover most of these criteria are highly illogical and defy reason and rationality" said Sumit Vohra of admissionsnursery.com.
Vohra further said that schools often apply irrational and illogical criterion like similar cultural ethos, attitudes and values, status of a child, which in no way justify the process of non-discriminatory and transparent admission process.
"They assign status to little kids, what a fallacy! Actually in their eyes there is a demarcation between the kids and their parents who can pay a hefty sum and those who are not capable to do so," further said Vohra.
It is noteworthy in this regard that some of the private schools have specified that those children whose parents smoke, drink or is a nonvegetarian will not get admission while some allot extra points for skills of parents like drawing, painting or music.
In its latest cabinet decision the government has decided to do away with all quotas in private schools admissions except the 25 per cent for EWS.
"Being alcoholic and eating non-vegetarian is prevalent in huge section of society even among women, moreover, if a father drinks alcohol then what is the fault of the child," said Ashok, father of three-year-old boy.
The parents also said that many private schools deny admission to the children of less educated parents, which is highly discriminatory as the child of uneducated parents also enjoy the right to education in a similar manner as par with others.
"If we are ready to pay the fees and bear all expenses of our child then why the admission should be denied on basis of parent's educational qualification" said a father of a 4-year-old, who is well-off but only eight pass.
"I am very happy that all such criteria are struck down by the AAP government and this would provide an equal platform for all" he added.
However, private schools and associations have expressed their unwillingness and called the decision as a retrogressive step, which would curtail the autonomy of the private schools.
They also alleged that the matter is sub-judice the government intervention is uncalled for.
"As far as the management quota is concerned, the matter is still in court. The courts have repeatedly given a decision in favor of schools. We fail to understand why the government had to do this when the process is under way, such steps will only create panic" said Ashok Pandey, chairman of national Progressive School Conference.

I do not appreciate the change because school lobby is most likely to seek court interference and hopefully they will win as in the past. And if they win, again change back. Flawless effort.
In the beginning it seems good but think beyond it.
