Rethink on nursery admission age cap, panel meets today - Deccan Herald

NEW DELHI:

As of now, children above four can’t apply at entry level

The state advisory board for education will hold a meeting on Thursday to discuss the upper age limit for nursery admissions, Directorate of Education sources said.

Recently, the board decided that “for pre-school, the child should not be more than 3 years, 11 months and 30 days, as on March 30 of the start of academic year in which the admission is sought”. Parents had protested against this decision.

Sumit Vohra, founder of admissionsnursery.com, said the gap between maximum and minimum age limit is too little.

“We want a gap of two years between the minimum and the maximum age limit for nursery admission. Where will those parents who were not able to get there children admitted in a decent school last year go?” he said.

He gave the example of central schools which allow a longer gap between upper and lower age limits, and asked if private schools in Delhi were not doing something unconstitutional.

With only around 10 days left for nursery admissions to start parents are getting worried.
“Last year, my child was just three years and a few days old and there was no upper age limit, so we thought to let him continue another year in playschool and were planning to get him admitted this year,” said a parent.

Parents urged that some of them should be part of the advisory board meeting so that better guidelines are framed for nursery admissions.

Special Thanks to Mr.Vohra for his selfless effort by taking pain and struggle for the parent community. At last a great relief for parents who were really expecting the same. It shows now Advisory Committee has come down the line to Mr.Vohra's demand regarding upper cut of age. Really a great news ahead of admission process.
