Some schools in Delhi have decided to give preference to children of bureaucrats and also to the wards of national-level achievers in art or music.
NEW DELHI: With the deadline for schools to submit the parameters they would use to admit children into nursery and pre-primary classes ending on Friday, most schools in the capital were busy finetuning their set of admission norms. These norms are to be approved by the directorate of education (DoE) within four weeks to help the schools begin their admission process.
According to the latest high court order, schools are free to fix their own parameters for admitting students as long as they take into account certain government-specified norms and get their set of parameters cleared by DoE. Though some schools are sticking to the uniform parameters fixed by the government, some have decided to give preference to children of bureaucrats and also to the wards of national-level achievers in art or music, aiming at a heterogeneous mix in classrooms.
