| Focus on school's discretion as
admissions begin |
|
| Top city schools say they are doing
everything 'as per law' so you are confused about the slew of different
criteria being cited by schools for nursery admissions and are wondering if
things are being done as per the High Court's direction? Every general-category
school has to follow the 100-point criteria while assessing a candidate. Of the
100 points, the HC had accorded 20 points to schools for setting their
individual parameters. Schools, however, have to keep parents informed about
these parameters. |
| |
| Even special schools set
up for children of armed forces or paramilitary forces personnel have to follow
the 100-point criteria for general-category candidates. For children of
servicemen, they have to follow their own policy norms. The Ganguly Committee
says schools have to be absolutely transparent on the parameters adopted by it
and should also cite the points awarded to a candidate, specifying the category
under which this has been done. |
| |
| It goes on to suggest that schools can
allocate 5 points to single parents, on the basis of parents' profession, to
children belonging to disadvantaged groups and of government employees in
transferable jobs, defence and paramilitary forces. "The whole idea was to
allow schools to support certain communities as per their need and give them
space to meet their own requirements," said DPS (RK Puram) principal Shayama
Chona, who is a member of the Ganguly Committee. |
| |
Chona says her school tries to support
single and working parents. The school mainly caters to children of
professionals and
government servants. It has decided to award 10 points to wards of single
parents and working parents (if both partners work) and 10 points to children
of government and defence personnel. |
| |
| Schools like Sanskriti,
for instance, are also awarding points to government servants and professionals
under the school-specific parameters. "We will start admissions from December
12 as the date was decided earlier. We will follow the High Court norms because
we are not expecting much change. Our admission forms are also ready and the
school-specific parameters will be publicised," said Gouri Ishwaran, principal
Sanskriti School. |
| |
| Modern School (Barakhamba
Road) will also start registration for its nursery school from December 9.
Although the school has not yet declared the dates of admission, principal Lata
Vaidyanathan says "everything will be as per law". "Even the Ganguly Committee
has given 20 points to schools for setting their own parameters. As long as we
are transparent about what the criteria are, there is no problem," said
Vaidyanathan. |
| |
| Schools are clearly waiting for the
December 8 court hearing before they start the admission process, but they
assert that the process will be transparent. "We have not decided the
parameters, but they will be displayed before admissions," said Bharati Sharma,
principal Amity (Saket). |

| But schools have to advertise the
parameters and the points allocated. Schools can also follow the Ganguly
Committee report and allocate 5 points to single parents, on the basis of
parents' profession, to children belonging to disadvantaged groups and of
government employees in transferable jobs, defence and paramilitary forces. |
