Action Against Those Schools Which Have Started Their Admission Process For Pre-Primary Classes

The Delhi High Court on Friday directed the Delhi government to take appropriate steps against those schools which have started their admission process for pre-primary classes even before the implementation of Ganguly Committee recommendations this year.

A division bench headed by Chief Justice M.K. Sharma issued notices to the city government, Directorate of Education and around 25 schools, seeking their reply by November 7.

The court`s direction came on a petition filed by Rakesh Goel, through his counsel Ashok Agarwal, alleging that some private schools, including Rukmani Devi School and Jindal Public School had started the process of admission to pre-primary in violation of the recommendations.

The CBSE chairman, Ashok Ganguly, had submitted a report, in pursuant to the High Court's order to the Delhi government, recommending a 100-point grading system instead of interviews and a minimum age of four years for admission in nursery classes.

"Even before the government could implement the report, some schools have started admission process, which amounted to contempt of court," Agarwal alleged.

The High Court had last year directed the privately-run schools in the Capital to implement the new pattern for nursery admissions under which neither children nor their parents are to be subjected to interviews.

The court had asked the Action Committee of Recognised Unaided Schools to implement the proposed system on an experimental basis for one academic session.
