Various school organisations across the Capital have now decided on not giving admission to children coming under the economically weaker sections (EWS) claiming that the demands of the Government to provide these children with uniforms and stationeries is too taxing on the schools’ budget.
School organisations on Wednesday also threatened to shut down their schools for an indefinite period of time in case the Government takes any action regarding the same.
RC Jain, president of the Delhi State Public Schools Management Association, an umbrella organisation of 1,300 public recognised schools said, “We will not give any seats to the EWS category. Schools cannot bear all the costs of EWS children and we do not want to burden the parents of the general category.”
Jain said that this is not only the decision of one organisation but the decision has been taken unanimously by all the school management. Jain added, “If the Government decides to take any action against us, we will shut down all the schools for an indefinite period.”
Pertinently the Government has asked the schools to provide EWS children with all the requirements like school books, shoes, uniform etc.
Jain said, “The Government has decided to give us only Rs 1,000 for providing all the amenities to the children. This is impossible and unbearable”. Notably, the Government has not disclosed the exact amount that will be reimbursed to the schools for providing education to children under EWS category up till now.
Similarly, VK William, Principal of Mount Carmel School, Anand Niketan and president of forum of quality education and forum of minority schools said, “The minority schools deserve the autonomy of financial administration and instruction to admit and select the number of children according to our own discretion according to Article 30 of the Constitution. We are just fighting for our right. We would not admit children under the EWS category. Nobody can force us to do so”.
Parents from the EWS category seemed a troubled lot on hearing the news. Anamika Raj, mother of a three-year-old from East Delhi said, “I hope it is not true. Where will I admit my son in such a case? I am so stressed”. Another parent from West Delhi said, “What problem do the schools have with the EWS category. Are we not eligible to get our child admitted in good schools only because we fall in the EWS category? This is so unfair”.
Meanwhile, parents also seemed stressed with the ongoing admission procedure. A parent from South Delhi on admissionsnursery.com said, “Every school is doing whatever they want. Mount Carmel has asked us to submit the complete fees for the whole year before February 1. How can they burden us with such a huge amount? This is cheating”. Mount Carmel School is apparently asking parents to submit Rs 60,000 before February 1.
However, William, Principal of the school said, “If any parent requests us to submit the fees in breakups, we will take care of that. It is not mandatory to submit the whole amount at once.”

Hello All,
Govt can take strong actions only for EWS category but no control on school fees for normal category.
In fact Govt should bear the expenses of every child in Delhi like other countries for primary school fees .Now -a-days school is a business with exponential profits..Here primary education is so expensive .Govt should make some checks on schools for same.They are just doing everything for EWS and not for other children as the expenses of EWS is goimg to increase the burden on normal category parents.

The Govt should immediately close down all Govt run schools and consolidate children into Private schools since they've proved incapable of providing education! They can sell off the land and use the proceeds to fund education through Private schools thus providing EWS education as well as footing the bill without harassing the General Category

I am also agree with Mr. Anands view. Govt should take complite care of EWS catagory, otherwise school puts additional financial burden on General categoury.

there was a CM in bihar ( his is alive but not CM now)called laloo prasad yadav. (i am referring in for his one good stand). once private transport union had gone in strike aginst the road tax. the stand of CM was that if you people do not want to run do so. but do not even park your vehicle in govt road. i will make your vehicles sprouted .
the moral of story
govt amended the constitution and there is no question of not obeying the rules by any individual or group of people. this act is dishonor to constitution of India.
it is weak govt which comes under presure of strike.
i urge to govt since education is right now ,make is emergence services. no strike or deadlock. if school owner threatening govt for shut down ( first of all now these are not gurukool , these are industries so these school shuting is jakal hound, they will never do this) govt should imposed ESMA. or take over.

i m somewhat surprised that these private schools were set up to give hands on to Government schools and was to show social causes for development of society. I want to highlight that from last 5-7yrs the outlook of these private school have been totally changed. I am surprised to see the fee structures of these schools, each parent has to spend minimum of Rs 3500/- on monthly basis for education and then multiple other charges. More than 70% of our population is below poverty line and I bet these schools wanted that people above this poverty line should also come to below poverty line.
Why not Govt put these schools under TAX SLAB? These schools are just adding corruption in society more and more. I miss to understand what these schools would be providing to our kids. When schools are not honest, what we expect from others. This is a big question mark on our society. Poor show from Chief Minister Sheila Dixit and Education Minister Mr, Lovely Singh. Each year they give tall claims and each year parents are able to true story.
I guess its time for Delhi to get rid of Poor Leaders. Nobody is too keen to follow rules in Delhi and how you expect people to follow rule if Institute like Schools are not ready to follow defined rules. God where are you.
