Review and Modernization of the Criteria of Nursery Admission in the Private Schools of Delhi

Abstract

From Introduction: The Hon’ble High Court of Delhi had passed order dated 4th September, 2006 in LPA No. 196/2004, constituting a committee of experts in the field of education to recommend a common procedure of admission of children to nursery class in the private schools of Delhi. The terms of reference stipulated by the court required the committee to suggest ways and means to eliminate the system of interview, bring about complete transparency and minimize the discretion of the management/principal in the process of admission of children to the nursery class. Accordingly, after holding wide consultations and examining suggestions and views from different stakeholders, the committee evolved a common procedure of admission to the nursery class with specifically identified criteria and weightage points and submitted its report in the month of October, 2006.
