New nursery admission guidelines. Nursery Admission 2017-18
Another nursery admission season is here. Parents in Delhi are not taking chances and putting all the efforts to get that single seat for their child. Since the whole procedure is full of tension, confusion and scrambling, here, we are trying to make things a bit simpler.
Criteria and Rules
All you may here in the process, mostly, are criteria and rules.
There were three major criteria till last year, neighborhood, alumni (parents as alumni) and siblings (siblings attending the same school). After Delhi Directorate of Education (DoE) notified that schools on public land will have new guidelines before starting nursery admissions, so far, it is not clear about the criteria the DoE is planning to adopt. Speculations are rife; the government may come out with the neighborhood and distance criteria, which are in adherence with the Right to Education Act.
Last year, Delhi government had abolished criteria based on parents' education, occupation, and lifestyle. Some schools had come out with bizarre list of banned criteria like non-smoking parents and non-alcoholic parents.
So, when you apply for a school, be sure about criteria for which the schools allot more points.
