For parents who missed out on a nursery seat for their little one in the Capital’s schools last year, there is good news. A few schools in the city are admitting four-year-olds in pre-school classes for academic session 2011-12.
Ahlcon Public School in Mayur Vihar (East Delhi) and two branches of The Heritage School in Vasant Kunj (South Delhi) and Rohini in (Northwest Delhi) are admitting children in the age group of three to five years in their pre-school classes. This signifies a shift from the usual age of three plus that is being considered by other private schools.
In Ahlcon Public School, while 20 points are reserved for children who are aged four but less than five as on March 31, 2011, 15 and 10 points are reserved for children aged less than four and three-and-a-half years respectively.
School principal R K Sharma says, “A four-year-old child is able to cope with the pressures better than a three-year-old. I think four is an ideal age to be in school. The maturity level of a four-year-old is also more than a three-year-old. Also, the Right to Education (RTE) Act says a six-year-old should be ideally be admitted in Class I. That is why we are giving more weightage to four plus children in our school. When the child reaches Class I, he or she will be six.”

There are 180 seats in the school, of which 100 are for the general category. The date of issuance of forms in the school is January 7 to 14.
Candidates at the two branches of The Heritage School in Rohini and Vasant Kunj will similarly get points depending on their age. Here, children aged between three and four years will be at an advantage, who will be given 25 out of a total of 100 points. According to the school website, children aged between four and five will get 15, and those aged above five years will get 10 points. The total number of seats at The Heritage School in Vasant Kunj is 72 — 40 are for the general category. In the school’s Rohini branch, there are 140 seats in total and 77 are for the general category.
NGO Social Jurist had last month challenged the Delhi governnent’s decision to have three plus as the age of admission in a school. The RTE Act stipulates that children in Class I should be aged six, while a child aged three plus admitted in nursery will be only five when he/she reaches Class I. The hearing in the case is scheduled for January 11.
Sumit Vohra, founder of www.admissionsnursery.com, said, “This (admitting older children) will disturb the applecart. How can a three-year-old compete with a five-year-old? The only advantage here is that four-year-olds will get admission.”
Experts believe four plus is an ideal age to start formal schooling. Dr Jitendra Nagpal, consultant psychiatrist said, “Parents usually begin pushing the child to start schooling at the age of three, but it mars the social and emotional development of the child.”
Income a factor?
Maharaja Agrasen Model School in Pitampura and Shrijan School in Model Town are asking for the parents’ income in the application form.

All the school should follow the same and admit the student for nursery at the age of 4+ becoz this is the correct age for learning.3+ age is very less for staring of study. Government should act fast to stop the child burden from study at an age of 3 which spoil their childhood.

I fully agree..Please I request everybody that they should take a similar action and the child should attain the age of four years at the time of joining formal school.
-
-
Yes, I am sure nobody would refute the fact that the minimum admission age should have been changed to 4+
-

This is a good move by the schools. certainly a four year old child will be in better position to cope with pressure. let the child enjoy thier childhood instead of tackling pressure of class at the age of 3+. RTE has rightly provided the minimum age for school education as 4+.

yes i agree if schools revert to 4+ yrs criteria for admission in Nursery
-
-
4+ is the perfect age for children to go to formal school..Schools should stop taking admission of 3+ and make a common platform
-
-
please stop dreaming about 4+ now....its suprising even now few parents are thinking that it will be 4+....and its this catagory of parents who miss on the admissions and then create lot of hue and cry about it....

This is all mess, I don't want my child to go to a formal school @ the age of 3 yr but the problem is the forms are out & we don't have an option. Not sure if the hearing on 11th Jan will help :(
-

agree to that...Govt hardly gives any regulation each year and we have to suffer..

This is a good move by some schools. Other schools should also follow this approach to give more weightage to child who is around 4 and zero point for a child who is between and 3 and 3.5. The other issue is that most of the schools are putting upper age limit as 1 april 2007 i.e 4 year which will not allow parents (who wants to their child at 4+) to seek admission next year and they are forced to approach this year itself.

But there are schools who are not allowing 4plus at all like DPS RK Puram, I was not able to register because my son is 4 plus...what to be done in such a case??
