Lottery system lacks transparency’

It seems that the lottery method adopted by schools to select students for nursery has not gone well with parents. Many parents alleged that this method has reduced the transparency in the nursery admissions procedure. Many schools which conducted a draw of lots for general category for nursery admissions are facing the same charges. Notably, the lottery system has been introduced in the nursery admission procedure from the current session.

A parent who had applied to Bal Bharti Public School, Rohini said, “The school conducted a lottery for nursery applicants on Thursday, but I was not even informed about it. This is so vague. According to my calculations, I must have scored 45 points. I am hearing that the school called up the parents of students who scored 45 points.” Bal Bharti Public School, Rohini conducted a draw of lots for all applicants who scored 45 points on Thursday. The school conducted a draw because there was a tie among many applicants at 45 points.

Another parent, a resident of Dwarka, said, “There are many schools which are not calling the parents at the time of conducting the draw. I think it is their duty to call us at that time because ultimately it is the future of our child that is at stake.”

Citing an example, the parent added that Mount Carmel School, Dwarka conducted a draw without calling the parents. However, the parent added, “I found the system at Bal Bharti Public School, Dwarka fair because they called me on January 25 when they conducted a draw for 356 students who had scored 45 points each.” There are 101 seats for the general category at Bal Bharti Public School, Dwarka.

Sumit Vohra, the founder of admissionsnursery.com, said, “The schools should call the parents when they conduct a draw for the nursery admissions. Not calling the parents at the time of draw indicates that the lottery system lacks transparency.”

Similarly, Laxman Public School, Hauz Khas also conducted a draw of lots for applicants in the general category who scored 65 points. The website of the school clearly says that there were more than 1,000 applicants who scored 65 points so, draw of lots was conducted for them by the executive council members of the Parents Teachers Association (PTA) on Thursday. Raman Sharma, who had applied here for his three-year-old son said, “This is unfair. The school should have informed us.”

Laxman Public School Principal Usha Ram said, “We conducted a draw in front of the PTA for the general category. There was no need to call the parents in this case. Parents are to be called only when we conduct a draw for the economically weaker sections (EWS) category.”

नर्सरी एडमिशन की भागदौड़ जारी है। गुरुवार को कई बड़े स्कूलों ने ड्रॉ निकाला। कुछ स्कूलों ने 45 पॉइंट वाले कैंडिडेट्स को भी चांस दिया तो कहीं ग्राफ 80 पर्सेंट तक पहुंच गया है। इनमें सबसे ऊपर लक्ष्मण पब्लिक स्कूल हौजखास का नाम है। हालांकि, कुछ स्कूलों का एसएमएस भेजकर सिलेक्टिड कैंडिडेट्स को बुलाना पैरंट्स को ठीक नहीं लग रहा है। उनका कहना है कि ऐसे में पारदर्शिता नहीं रहेगी।
लक्ष्मण पब्लिक स्कूल ने दो लिस्ट निकाली हैं। कन्फर्म लिस्ट में 105 कैंडिडेट्स का नाम शामिल है और वेटिंग लिस्ट में 20 का। कन्फर्म लिस्ट में शामिल कैंडिडेट्स 80 से 65 पॉइंट वाले हैं। स्कूल प्रिंसिपल डॉ. ऊषा श्रीराम का कहना है कि हमारे पास 80 से 65 पॉइंट्स वाले एक हजार से भी ज्यादा कैंडिडेट्स थे, ऐसे में पैरंट्स टीचर्स असोसिएशन की सहमति से हमने लॉटरी निकाली है। यहां 31 जनवरी से 2 फरवरी के बीच डॉक्युमेंट्स वेरिफिकेशन होगा। उन्होंने बताया कि वेटिंग लिस्ट इसलिए निकाली गई है ताकि बाद में कुछ एडमिशन कैंसल हों तो खाली सीटों पर वेटिंग लिस्ट वालों को एडमिशन दिया जा सके। श्रीराम स्कूल वसंत विहार ने 45 पॉइंट हासिल करने वाले 195 कैंडिडेट्स को बुलाया है। स्कूल के अधिकारियों का कहना है कि जिनके 50 पॉइंट्स हैं उनका यहां एडमिशन पक्का है। बाकी स्टूडेंट्स को सीटें बचने पर एडमिशन मिलेगा।
उधर बाल भारती स्कूल रोहिणी ने ऐसे कैंडिडेट्स को एसएमएस भेजकर बुलाया है जिनके 45 पॉइंट्स हैं। स्कूल ने कोई लिस्ट जारी नहीं की है, ऐसे में पैरंट्स में काफी रोष है। उनका कहना है कि बिना लिस्ट के हमें यह पता नहीं लग पाएगा कि हमारे बच्चे को चांस क्यों नहीं मिला। यही तरीका मंगलवार को डीपीएस द्वारका ने भी अपनाया था। मॉडर्न पब्लिक स्कूल शालीमार बाग ने प्री-प्राइमरी और नर्सरी के लिए अलग-अलग लिस्ट निकाली है। एजुकेशन फॉर ऑल संस्था के फाउंडर सुमित वोहरा का कहना है कि पैरंट्स को यह पता चलना चाहिए कि उनके कितने पॉइंट हैं। मगर कुछ स्कूल सिर्फ कैंडिडेट का नाम ही जारी कर रहे हैं तो कुछ एसएमएस भेजकर सिर्फ सिलेक्टिड लोगों को बुला रहे हैं। यह तरीका पूरी तरह से गलत है। दिल्ली सरकार को इन मुद्दों पर गौर करना चाहिए, क्योंकि सिर्फ नियम बना देने से कोई फायदा नहीं होगा। इन्हें सख्ती से लागू करना भी जरूरी है।

All these mentioned schools are lacking in transparency to this extent that they are violating the RTE/DOE guidelines(DOE Guidelines issued as on 15th Dec2010:--.....Section 13(1)of RTE was reiterated by DOE dictating the schools that admission procedure must be non-discriminatory, rational and transparent...selection would be on random basis...admissions should be made strictly on this basis)...

then how DOE/Govt. of Delhi is just becoming an onlooker now and not taking punitive action against these unruly schools violating RTE Act & DOE guidelines so blatantly.....how can we parents believe that schools have drawn the lots correctly when we don't know exactly our names in the list nor are we informed of such draws....there should not be any excuse for schools on any pretext over this as this matters most to the parents....the very future of our children is at stake........

Kind Attention: Mr. Vohra,

Presentation Convent Sr. Sec. School had conducted the draw on 28th Jan, 2011 at 3:30 p.m with the condition that all those who are present at the above mentioned date and time will be considered for the draw of lots and admissions.( http://pcsdelhi.in/resul1.php). They had not intimated this information to the parents on phone or email. They only published on Presentation Convent Website. My wife and I reached the school at 3:25 p.m. (due to the heavy traffic at Darya Ganj and Red Fort). We had surprised to see that the school gates were closed and about 100 people were waiting at the gate to enter the school. All parents had informed us that the gates were closed at 3:15 and the Draw of Lots has been started inside the school. Those parents who are inside the school were only participated the draw and those who are outside will not be included in the draw.

Our child is 4+ and had lost the chance to get the admission in this school. Why they had closed the school gates before 3:30 and why they had not included our Child's registation number in the draw.

It is requested that please take the action againist the Presentatiion Convent Sr. Secondary School and we (about 40 parents) are ready to take this complaint to DOE with signed application. We need admission nursery's kind support.

Please advice us.

With regards,

Mohd. Kashif
