Parents Of AdmissionsNursery.Com Creates History

Sumit Vohra, founder of an online forum for parents seeking nursery admission for their children, V R ONE, which organised the protest, says: "We want strict action against complaints filed with DoE against schools for not following the government guidelines."

"There are too many discrepancies. Modern School in Humayunpur and Vasant Vihar did not disclose any point system for nursery admissions. Laxman Public School and many others conducted a draw of lots in the absence of parents. Summerfields, KR Mangalam and many other schools are giving admissions on a first come first serve basis. Tagore International School has mentioned on its website that fee once paid will not be refunded, which is totally against the government guidelines."

There are contradictory problems in the point system, say parents. While some parents found problems because their child was a first born, others had troubles because it was their second born child.

Education Director Admits Loopholes In Nursery Admissions, To Rethink
TIMES NEWS NETWORK

New Delhi:For the first time in the history of nursery admissions in the city, parents came out on the roads to protest against violations by schools and the serious crunch of seats in the general category. Dressed in black, these harried parents showed up outside the office of the directorate of education on Wednesday evening. They also submitted a memorandum to the education director. Soon after, the directorate issued a circular to schools stating that if any seats remain vacant in any category (mostly alumni and sibling) except the EWS, they should be declared as open for others who have not been successful in getting admission earlier.
The education director, P Krishnamurthy, also admitted the nursery admissions this year turned out to be a learning experience for them especially after the implementation of the right to education and the 25% quota for the economically weaker section. “We will now have to look at how much is set aside in every category for nursery admissions. Schools have the freedom to fix their own criteria but we try to keep the system transparent. We will learn from this experience,” he said. According to him, schools which had kept categories for sibling, alumni and others will have to open the vacant seats for those in waiting.
He also said the number of general seats had shrunk but the directorate had not stopped private schools from increasing their total number of seats to accommodate this quota. “We are also collecting details from all unrecognized schools so that we can know their number and about their infrastructure to consider relaxing the norms for recognition. That will create more options for parents,” Krishnamurthy said.

निदेशालय पर फूटा पैरंट्स का गुस्सा

प्रमुख संवाददाता ॥ नई दिल्ली
शिक्षा निदेशालय पर बुधवार की सुबह पैरंट्स की भीड़ जुटी थी। नर्सरी एडमिशन की प्रक्रिया में स्कूलों की मनमानी के खिलाफ प्रदर्शन करने पहुंचे पैरंट्स सरकार से काफी नाराज दिख रहे थे। पोस्टर बैनर लिए हुए पैरंट्स यही सवाल कर रहे थे कि वे अपने बच्चों को अब कहां पर पढ़ाएं? पैरंट्स का प्रतिनिधिमंडल शिक्षा निदेशक से भी मिला और उन्हें स्कूलों की मनमानी की जानकारी भी दी। शिक्षा निदेशक ने पैरंट्स को उचित कार्रवाई करने का आश्वासन देते हुए कहा कि नियमों का उल्लंघन करने वाले स्कूलों को नोटिस जारी किया जाएगा।
प्रदर्शन करने वालों में शामिल पैरंट्स ने सिबलिंग व एलुमनी कैटिगरी के पॉइंट खत्म करने की मांग की और कहा कि नर्सरी एडमिशन में यह खानदानी सिस्टम बंद होना चाहिए। पैरंट्स ने कहा कि अब उनके सामने दिल्ली छोड़कर जाने के अलावा कोई रास्ता नहीं है और एनसीआर के स्कूलों में ही अपने बच्चों का एडमिशन करवाना पड़ेगा। शिक्षा निदेशक से मिलने वाले प्रतिनिधिमंडल में शामिल एडमिशन नर्सरी डॉट कॉम के फाउंडर सुमित वोहरा ने कहा कि पैरंट्स की ओर से सौंपे गए ज्ञापन में मॉडर्न स्कूल, लक्ष्मण पब्लिक स्कूल, इंडियन स्कूल समेत कई स्कूलों के मनमाने फैसलों के बारे में बताया गया। उन्होंने कहा कि शिक्षा निदेशक ने स्कूलों को नोटिस जारी करने का आश्वासन दिया है।
वहीं ऐसे पैरंट्स भी थे, जो शिक्षा निदेशक के जवाब से संतुष्ट नहीं थे। प्रमोद कुमार ने बताया कि वे नोएडा में सर्विस करते हैं और अब वहीं पर किराये का मकान लेंगे ताकि बच्चे का एडमिशन वहां हो जाए। वह कहते हैं कि सरकारी स्कूलों का हाल इतना अच्छा नहीं है कि हम अपने बच्चों को वहां पर पढ़ाएं और सरकार पब्लिक स्कूलों की मनमानी रोकने में नाकाम है। ऐसे में पैरंट्स के सामने दिल्ली छोड़कर जाने के अलावा कोई रास्ता नहीं बचा है।

Historians consider the Renaissance to be the beginning of modern history. Yesterday I mentioned it protest be a reformation. I want to correct myself that it was a "Nursery Renaissance" for modernised Education system which can be more simplied, economical if implemented. Really a great work done by our REFORMER Mr.Vohra. Parents too proved VR ONE. Now I have great hope that no child will be left out if total seats are increased in each schools.

I don't have so much hope Lathaaji. All this system has made us hopeless. When the time will come to implement the orders of DOE according to the circular issued on February 8, 2011, every school will have some different BAHANAS. Some will say that we don't want to put pressure on our class strength. Some will say that increasing the no. of seats will increase chaos in the nursery classes due to increment of teacher student ratio. Schools will always win until and unless we all get united and totally reform this education system. The root of our education system needs to be treated as it has been diseased for last many years. If the root will be healthy, the whole plant of education system will be healthy and will grow well without any problems.

We also need to kill the weeds and love the flowers.

I think adding lottery system for all parents registered in presence of all parents with parents handling their receipts and checking if their kid's name is on the reciept, and dropping it off in the drop box on their own before draw of lots will be the best criteria. This was done by Tagore International School Vasant Vihar and EOK but if we add centralized admission procedure with DOE representatives engaging in totally transparent lottery system like Tagore did, there will be nothing better in comparison to this. What do you say Duttaji.
