Admission woes
There's a mad rush among parents to secure admissions for their wards from kindergarten to primary schools.
The schools in city,which are still recognised, have begun distributing admission forms for the next academic year and hundreds of parents regularly return empty-handed with the hope that they can manage to get the admission forms the next day.
Parents of students who were admitted to schools which now face closure are contemplating about forming parents' associations as the school managements, despite repeated requests have failed them to give satisfactory answers on the rehabilitation measures in other schools for their children.
A majority of the parents are now not interested in taking risks with their children's future and, despite all odds, want their wards to study in one school instead of running from pillar to post.
Donations in the privately managed English medium schools have increased manifold and references of VIPs have become a norm to get a child admitted in those schools.
Mohan, a parent who could not get a form in the Kendriya Vidyalaya No. 2 here, says: "I will risk all odds to get my child admitted here as I do not want any risk for the child's future." Sneha, Ramesh and other parents echoed similar views.
Many said the managements of the derecognised schools have cheated them and now are denying audience as they have been asking about the rehabilitation measures. Some headmasters and principals of the derecognised schools, who did not want to be named, said:"We are helpless and the management has asked us not to speak to the parents on issue.
School managements have formed an association and are pursuing problems with the government," they said. Schools which have been derecognised run classes up to 10th standard and this has made the parents restless with the future of their wards uncertain for now.
