Admission Panel yet to work out formula for nursery admission
By djain128, Section Admission Notice
They may agree on the need to save children as young as four from the trauma that interviews have turned out to be, but they are still disagreeing on how to do that. Even as a committee appointed by the Delhi High Court is readying a common admission procedure, principals of public schools are yet to reach a consensus on the admission formula.
There is a strong possibility that the schools will eventually shift to the neighbourhood school system. Some schools have proposed giving weightage to those students whose elder sibling is already enrolled in the school or whose parents are the alumni, said advocate Ashok Agarwal of the Social Jurist, who has filed the petition against interviews for admission. Mr Agarwal was part of a meeting called by the committee appointed by the high court to devise common admission criteria for admission to nursery in unaided private schools. He said, The court has specified that admission at the entry level should not be based on the interview of the child or of the parents. The discretion which the schools exercise in issuing admission cards or interview cards has to be completely stopped. Clik on Full Story...
His demand for seeking transparency in the admission process is echoed by Ms Usha Ram, Principal of Laxman Public School. We have also been seeking a transparent admission process, which will have interaction instead of interviews, she held.
Mr Agarwal has suggested eradicating the discretion of the management in admitting students to ensure more transparency. The objectives of making admissions child-friendly and transparent can be achieved by applying the neighbourhood school policy strictly. Parents living within the radius of 8 km should be entitled to apply for admission and schools should divide the applications into eight parts on the basis of distance formula, he points out. He has further suggested exhibiting the entire list of the applicants on the notice board of the school before granting admission and inviting objections, if any, within three days. In the first phase, admission should be granted to those who come within a radius of one kilometre. Subsequently, this should be expanded up to 8 km, he contended. In this process, at any stage, if the number of applicants in a particular list is found more than the available seats a draw of lots can be used to settle the matter, he added. Tribune,16-09-06
