Memorandum

From:AdmissionsNursery.com/V R ONE Date : 09/02/2011

To,

Shri P.Krishnamurthy

Director

Directorate of Education, Delhi

SUBJECT: To raise the issue of parents plights in the present nursery admission process ( 2011- 2012) and to demand stringent action against erring schools.

The parents want strict actions by the government against on complaints filed with DOE against schools for not following the government guidelines. Some of them include: * Salwan Montessori allocated points for achievements/profession of parents(which amounts to be screening of parents that is banned under RTE.) * Modern School Humayun Road and Vasant Vihar branch both did not disclose any point system for nursery admissions. * Vivek Summit/ Kidsway did not follow a transparent admission process * Bal Bharti (Rohini & Dwarka) had a non transparent draw of lots. * Laxman Public School and many others conducted draw of lots in the absence of parents (in case of LPS candidates for lottery were more than 1000) * K R Mangalam giving admissions to few parents with 70 points but others with 70 were not admitted (.Moreover on the parents on confronting the school authorities were told that it is a school management decision and they have to abide by it.) * Indian school at Sadiq Nagar manipulated transfer points * Many schools including the above have not published the breakup of allocated points for the applications received. * Summerfields, K R Mangalam, Vivekanand and many other schools are giving admissions on first come first- come-first-serve basis·

• Tagore International school has mentioned on its website that FEE ONCE PAID WILL NOT BE REFUNDED(Which is totally against DOE guidelines) and many other schools are doing the same, taking fee in cash and not giving the receipt. Doe should issue new circular for fee refund policy again immediately (Schools are giving excuses that there is no clarity/notification on fee refund policy this year)




Further the parents want to propose a Centralised Point System with centralized admission process with following salient features:

1. There should be one common form which should be filled by all parents who are seeking admissions for their kids, online/offline. The form should have all the required details and a few preferred schools.

2. It should be submitted to the DOE or the any concerned impartial authority.

3. Based on the details given by parents, the authorities should assign schools to each child (each child should be given a choice of 4-5 schools to choose from).

4. After this list is out, the parents should choose any one school and submit the same.

5. Once the list is final, the schools should be sent the list of the students who have been admitted in their school.

6 Scrap Alumni Points( Against RTE as alumni is educated till 12th so profiling against uneducated under RTE )

7 Transparency etc

8 .Strict action against all (schools which flout guidelines) 9. There should be a uniformity from sale of prospects to declaration of selected candidates. 10. Upper Limit of fees should by schools to be fixed. 11. Any guidelines should be analysed before implementation. 12. No child should be left out without admission. Regards
