Subject: - Request for extension of one week time for EWS parents to apply in  Unaided Private Schools

 

Dear Sir,

 

The Hon'ble Delhi High Court by judgment dated 31.01.2012 in W.P. (C) 636/2012 in case of Federation of Public Schools Vs. GNCT of Delhi has laid down the guidelines in terms of which the distance criteria for admission of children belonging to disadvantage group and economically weaker section under 25% reservation in Unaided Private Schools shall be 1 Km, then 3 Kms., then 6 Kms., and then beyond 6 Kms. Moreover, the Hon'ble Delhi High Court has allowed two weeks more time to the schools to complete the admission process in terms of these guidelines.

 

We should like to bring to your notice that large number of parents did not apply to schools due to confusion having been created by your department which has now been set right by the Hon'ble Delhi High Court.

 

It is therefore, requested that keeping a larger interest in mind, your department should immediately issue a directive allowing one week more time to parents to apply to the schools who could not apply earlier for the reasons stated above.

 

 

With Regards
