Parents Challenge Exemption Of Minority Schools From New Norms
By himanshu, Section News
Parents today challenged the Delhi High Court against a recent ruling exempting unaided minority schools in the Capital from the purview of the 100-point Ashok Ganguly Committee recommendations on nursery admissions.
The High Court had earlier directed the implementation on trial basis of a recommendation by the Ganguly panel to ban interviews of children and parents seeking admission to nursery classes. Subsequently, a Single Bench of Justice B D Ahmed had dismissed a petition by a parent whose child had not secured admission in the Montford School, a minority institution, on the ground that the Ganguly panel had exempted minority run schools from the aegis of the recommendations.
The present petition, filed by NGO Social Jurist, has now sought clarification of the Single Bench's order and would come up for hearing on March 8 before a Bench led by Chief Justice M K Sharma. "A blanket exemption of un aided minority schools from the recommendations of the Ashok Ganguly Committee report would be against the interest of tiny tots, public interest and opposed to public policy," counsel for Social Jurist, Ashok Aggarwal, said.
The petition said the "Committee was set up by the High Court to suggest the criteria for admission to nursery classes and to check commercialisation of education and exploitation of hap less parents and children". He quoted a 1998 High Court order, which ruled that "the right to administer cannot obviously include the right to mal administer... it does not permit the minorities to indulge in commercialisation of education in the garb of constitutional protection".
