 | NEW DELHI: If any child remains without nursery admission even till March 31, his or her parents should make sure to contact the state education minister. As a consolation to all those parents who protested outside the directorate of education on Wednesday, and to those, too, who stayed back at home without hope, education minister Arvinder Singh Lovely has assured that no child will remain without a nursery seat by the end of the admission procedure. Parents should just be ready to take up any school where the seats will still be vacant. "The last date for declaration of second or third lists of selected candidates is March 31, while the entire procedure will end on July 31. Parents, whose children do not get admission by the end of March, should contact me or our deputy directors in different zones. We will make sure that they get admission wherever seats are still vacant," said Singh. The minister insisted that there was no crunch of seats in nursery despite 25% quota for the EWS and up to 20% quota for the management in each school. "We have enough public schools in the city and some of them have even increased their seats this year. Parents should think beyond a particular set of schools." He added that there was no shortage of schools in the city either. "There are 7,000 schools in the city, which includes the public, government and MCD schools. No other city in the country has as many schools." Parents aren't really impressed with the directorate's slow approach in handling the complaints. They complained during their protest on Wednesday that many of their complaints to the DoE had gone unattended. Mohit Dhar (name changed on request) said: "I had filed an online complaint with the DoE and also mailed to the minister, but nothing happened. A sought-after school in central Delhi got away with not posting their results with points on its website. Another school in Vikaspuri did not show the points scored by each candidate. Who is going to monitor them?" Though DoE officials agreed that not all complaints can be individually addressed, they said they had kept a strict watch on schools' parameters and also got them changed before the final result was announced. However, DoE doesn't maintain a record of complaints received so far as the "entire system is decentralized and the deputy directors of every zone look after the complaints and take action against schools if need. Singh said, "It's our duty to make sure no school flouts rules. Parents should give us specific complaints in writing." About the complaints submitted to the DoE by protesting parents on Wednesday, Singh said, "I am meeting the education director on Friday and if the complaints of parents are found to be correct, we will definitely take action." http://www.facebook.com/l/4f656ZB_-HyPSwNiJMh0iAhAYPA;timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/delhi/No-admission-Get-in-touch-with-Lovely/articleshow/7470857.cms |
