Points to ponder: schools continue to flout norms for nursery admission
The HinduMore than eight years after the Directorate of Education issued a circular banning ‘unfair’ criteria for nursery admissions, several schools continue to give weightage to ‘parents’ education’ and ‘meritorious child’, among other prohibited parameters. A source, however, said, “The DoE will certainly take action if schools are awarding points for banned criteria if and when it receives such complaints.” Modern Perfect Public School in Sangam Vihar has awarded 15 points to ‘meritorious child’. A school in Badarpur’s Molar Band Extension has given 10 points to ‘children with verbal and written communication’ and one in Dwarka has awarded 10 points to parents’ education despite the DoE saying that giving weightage to it is unjust as India is a developing country and literacy rate is not 100%, making the criterion “unjust”. It is not just to give weightage for admission to entry-level classes.” ‘Hardly any action’ Sumit Vohra, who runs a nursery admission portal, said, “Criteria such as whether the child needs school transport or testing the child’s abilities are against the DoE guidelines, but it turns a blind eye.
