NEW DELHI: In another incident of schools flouting admission rules as well as the Right to Free and Compulsory Education Act 2009, five unaided private schools of East Delhi refused to provide application forms for admission to nursery class to a physically challenged kid. Left with no option, the father typed his own application form and mailed it via speed post and lodged written complaints to the chief minister, education minister, directorate of education (DoE) and deputy director of the zone, among others on Monday.  According to father of five-year-old Aditya, Akshtiz Virmani, a resident of Mayur Vihar Phase - II, five schools in his locality within a radius of three kilometres had denied him admission forms for his son. Virmani had first approached the schools asking for a form of the general category. "Since my son is 75% physically challenged and cannot walk, I went back to the school seeking his admission under EWS and disadvantaged group. But the schools said that since he is over five years they will not admit him and thus they will not give me the forms. Left with no options I typed out the application in the same pattern as that of their forms and sent them via speed posts. I also wrote to the CM and education minister,'' said Virmani.  According to the guidelines issued by the DoE regarding age criteria earlier this month, "every child admitted to pre-school shall be of minimum three years by March 31 of the year in which admission is being sought."

According to the guidelines issued by the DoE regarding age criteria earlier this month, "every child admitted to pre-school shall be of minimum three years by March 31 of the year in which admission is being sought."  Speaking about the incident, social jurist Ashok Agarwal said: "This is a complete violation of the admission guidelines as the DoE has not set any upper limit for age. Moreover, denying admission to this kid is also a violation of the Special Educational Needs and Disability Act 2001 which stated that children up to the age of 18 who are physically challenged have the right to free education.''  As per the RTE Act, the disability act is applicable in this situation. Moreover as per the DOE's guidelines issued on January 7, 2011, physically challenged students come under the ambit of 25% EWS category and have the right to free education. "This child enjoys the right under the RTE Act as well as under the Disability Act. Even as per the Delhi Government's directions he should get free and compulsory primary education. The Delhi Commission for Protection of Child Rights (DCPCR) has received a couple of such complaints and we have issue notices to the schools. This child too can come to the commission and we will take cognizance of the violation of RTE Act,'' said Sashank Sekhar of DCPCR.
