New Delhi: The wait for anxious parents in Delhi is over as the much awaited nursery admission process has started in most private schools in Delhi on Saturday. The sale of forms in most schools has begun and schools are expecting to see a heavy rush.
Meanwhile, the Delhi Government's Directorate of Education (DoE) has decided to move the Supreme Court to appeal against the High Court's verdict on nursery admission guidelines.
High Court had quashed the points system issued by the Lt Governor on November 28 and permitted schools to form their own guidelines for nursery admission this season.
A notice has been sent by the advocate of the Directorate of Education (DoE) to Action Committee for Unaided Recognized Private Schools as per which the private schools were asked not to initiate or go ahead with the admission process for the academic session 2015-16 till Supreme Court's verdict on the same is out.
On Nov 28, the Delhi High court has quashed the nursery admissions guidelines issued by the Delhi LG in 2013 terming the government's decision as "neither procedurally proper nor rational".
Under the earlier system, out of a total 100 points, 70 were given if the child lives in the neighbourhood of the school, additional 20 were given if a sibling is studying there, five points more if either parent is an alumni and another five points if it is an inter-state transfer case.
Draw of lots were held at each point level. Thereafter, the government had on February 27 issued an order abolishing the five points that were being awarded in inter-state transfer cases.
