BELGAUM: As the academic educational year is coming to an end, the admission process for the next academic year in English-medium schools here is all set to begin. Anxious parents have started making enquiries on the date of issual of admission forms at private educational institutions. The number of such parents rushing to recognised institutions has gone up this year as the government has cracked a whip on the so-called English-medium schools for violating the language policy.
Worried parents of wards studying in the tobe-closed schools have begun to approach other schools for admissions as children would face difficulty in catching up with vernacular languages.
Many schools which do not come under government hammer may begin admissions process in the last week of November. It can be recalled how parents made a bee line before the counter to get forms in those schools in previous years. With only a few schools getting government aid, parents are being made to pay hefty amount as donation to those private ones. Some parents regret to say that education department has failed to crackdown on the schools violating the government's guidelines. Making hay while the sun shines, a handful of Englishmedium schools are bracing to make the most while admitting children. Some of the schools have indicated to issue admission forms in the first half of December, while some others have already begun the admission process, throwing all the guidelines to air.
