Social Jurist writes to Delhi CM

To,

Hon’ble Chief Minister

Government of N.C.T.Delhi

Delhi Secretariat, I.P. Estate , New Delhi-110003

30.04.2015

Subject:-  Illegal denial of admission to three children Kumari Anjum, age 16 years, Km. Tarannum, age 14 years,  and Km. Saba, age  13 years, all daughter of Mohd. Daraj presently residing at Plot No. 384, Block-E, Khasra No. 297, New Ashok Nagar, Delhi-110096 by Government Co-Ed Senior Secondary School , Vasundhara Enclave, Delhi-110096

Sir,

It is to bring to your kind notice the plight of three girls  Kumari Anjum, age 16 years, Km. Tarannum, age 14 years,  and Km. Saba, age  13 years, all daughter of Mohd. Daraj presently residing at Plot No. 384, Block-E, Khasra No. 297, New Ashok Nagar, Delhi-110096, who have been illegally and arbitrarily denied admission by Government Co-Ed Senior Secondary School, Vasundhara Enclave, Delhi-110096.

The said three children were earlier studying in D.S.R. Modern School  in Noida, Gautam Budh Nagar which a recognized school. The father of the said three children had to shift to the aforesaid address of New Ashok Nagar with entire family on rent because of financial and employment problems. He was also not able to pay the hiked fee of the said private recognized school.

The father of the children therefore withdrew the said three  children and got the transfer certificate from the said school. Thereafter the father of the children applied for admission of his three daughters Kumari Anjum, age 16 years, Km. Tarannum, age 14 years,  and Km. Saba, age  13 years in the Government Co-Ed Senior Secondary School , Vasundhara Enclave, Delhi-110096 in Class 9, Class 9 and class 6 respectively. It is submitted that the said school is a school nearby their place of residence. However the principal of the said school refused admission to the Km. Sabha without giving any reason. In respect of Km. Anjum and Km Tarnnum, the principal asked father of the said children to bring Address Proof, Voter I Card, Bank Account and Ration Card of the current address of New Ashok Nagar. Since the family has recently shifted to Delhi, it would not be possible to get the said documents immediately. The father of the children showed the rent agreement of the current address but the principal refused to recognize the same. It is submitted that the condition put by the principal to bring said documents for admission of  Km Anjum and Km Tarnnum in school while refusing the admission to Km. Sabha without citing any reason is illegal, unjustified and violate the right to the said three children to education  as guaranteed to them by the Art 21 and 21 –A of the Constitution of India and RTE Act, 2009.

The father of the said children also submitted the letter of Sh. Praveen Kumar, MLA and Parliamentary Secretary Govt. of Delhi, to the principal of the aforesaid school. However she paid no attention to it and ignored the same.

The approach of the school authorities is culpably negligent, arbitrary and shows that the authorities of the department are apathetic and insensible towards the rights of children. These kinds of cases are coming in routine manner where the children are denied admission on such arbitrary reasons. Some stern and reformatory actions and policy decision need to be taken by your government in this regard.

You are therefore requested to take immediate appropriate action in the matter to ensure that the aforesaid children are granted admission in the aforesaid school or any other school nearby their residence.

With regards,

An Open Letter on Delhi Nursery Admissions

Mon, Jan 14, 2013 at 7:47 PM
Justice Delayed is Justice Denied 
Call for extension of Dates of Nursery Admissions Forms Availability
For Kind Attention Copies sent to:
Dr. Kiran Walia-Education Minister Delhi-
Mr. Amit Singla-Director DOE 
The latest developments in the Nursery Admissions Process in Delhi, which affects lakhs of families in Delhi have brought me to writing this letter to you.

5 years back when me and my wife Puja Arora, launched NurseryAdmissions.com ( Now called SchoolAdmissions.in ), we made it a pledge to help parents in their mission of getting their child in a right school. We have earlier been involved in the setup of ASAR with Center for Civil Society and worked on admission reforms and had advocated the common admissions schedule presently followed in Delhi based on the referendum done by us amongst parents in Delhi.

Unfortunately, the problems related to Nursery School Admissions in Delhi do not seem to go away as it was dreamt then with the Common Admission Schedule. We had asked for 30 days window, 15 Dec to 15 Jan which was followed for one year but post that parents have been made to run around in just 15 days.. And the other problems still persist.

The DOE ( Directorate of Education ) recently issued a circular dated 11th Jan 2013, clarifying 7 points related to Nursery School Admissions in Delhi for 2013-2014 session. 

It needs to be brought to everyone's attention that  :
1) The circular has come out at a time when the admissions are getting over on 15th Jan 2013. Parents and even schools got to know about it on Sunday afternoon after online forums picked it up. 
2) With 12th being Saturday and 13th being Sunday, most schools were closed.
3) As of now on 14th Jan, there seems to be no effect of the directions given in the circular and tomorrow by 2-3 pm most schools would stop issuing and receiving completed forms based on the old criteria / residence proof requirements etc, which are completely contradictory to the circular issued by DOE.
4) Parents are stressed and confused as they have no idea what is going on and how this action by the DOE has helped them anyway.
5) Many parents of 4+ kids were denied forms or could not apply online even if the child is 1 day more that 4 years old on the cut-off date. Now with this circular it gave them hope, but if it is not implemented then what is the point of this.
6) Even if the parents of 4+ kids want, then also they cannot apply in all the schools they want due to paucity of time. If it took all parents 15 days to apply in 10-15 schools, how can we expect these parents of 4+ kids to do that in 1 day. SOME SCHOOLS NEED PARENTS TO GET DEMAND DRAFTS MADE AND SUBMIT THEM WITH THE FORMS... WHAT ALL CAN A PARENT DO IN ONE DAY..
7) Similarly, many parents did not apply or buy forms of schools who were considering limited residence proofs. Now, even they don't have time left to go to all these schools and get and fill the forms and submit by 15th Jan 2013 deadline. 
8) DOE has called point systems and category based systems of many schools as discriminatory and against the rules. But when will they be changed, as parents who have applied have calculated their chances based on the proposed systems and they need time to relook at that. Similarly, many parents who had not applied to these schools, should be given a chance of applying based on the correct admissions system. 
9) Does DOE INTEND TO GET THIS DONE AFTER THE ADMISSION PROCESS CLOSES.... It would be nothing but Chaos..and 

Right way to Put this would be JUSTICE DELAYED is JUSTICE DENIED

The spirit of this circular if it has been made with the intention of helping parents should be to correct the process and not just be an eyewash like every year. 

I have got representations, calls, forum posts on SchoolAdmissions.in from hundreds of parents seeking clarification and help with this scenario. Everyone wants that more time should be provided for parents who missed out on applying due to the points mentioned in the circular. ELSE THERE WAS NO BENEFIT OR PURPOSE SERVED BY THIS CIRCULAR.

On behalf of parents in Delhi, I would like to propose the following to the DOE and the Delhi Govt :

1) Announce the extension of the admissions window to 30th Jan 2013 from 15th Jan 2013 presently.
2) Pause the nursery admissions process in Delhi for 3-4  days and ask all schools to correct their points, criteria etc and documentation requirements and publish the updated admissions process and formalities to be available to parents.
3) Make it clear that parents with kids 4+ can also apply for nursery, Reference to the matter which was in Delhi High Court last week.
4) Restart the admissions process after all this is sorted and give atleast 10 days more to the parents.

It is not just the question of rules and regulations, but the FUTURE OF THOUSANDS OF KIDS IN DELHI.

I believe that everyone should get an equal  and fair chance to get their child in a school of their choice through a completely  transparent  admissions process...

IF WE DO NOTHING THIS YEAR...THEN THIS WOULD NEVER BE SOLVED..

I hope that you take cognizance of my request on behalf of all parents in Delhi and act on it.

On behalf of all parents in Delhi and as a parent first myself. 

My strong request is to involve parents in the policy making process and creating a partnership between parents, schools and the govt. for the better future of our kids.

I am willing to volunteer and provide my services for no cost for any such initiative going forward.

Thanks and Regards,
Rajan Arora

Nursery Admission blues

Mon, Jan 14, 2013 at 4:07 PM
Khaas Aadmi Vs Aam AadmiBoth Delhi Government and the private schools are making fool of the aam aadmi in the matter of nursery admissions in private schools in 75% paid seats. Delhi Government has issued nursery admission guidelines on 15.12.2010 permitting the private schools to make their own admission criteria which is without any authority to law and also contrary to the provisions of RTE Act, 2009. In view of the clear provisions in RTE Act, 2009, no such guidelines were at all required to be issued. These guidelines have been issued at the instance of the private schools in order to benefit them. The private schools are only taking advantage of these illegal and unauthorized guidelines dated 15.12.2010. These guidelines have given leverage to the private schools to continue with the dynasty rule of providing admission to the children of KAAS AADMI against those of AAM AADMI. Such an arbitrary and discriminatory criteria would deprive majority of children of their right to equal participation in the admission process. Parents must understand that unless we have a just system in place, their exploitation would continue. Therefore, we all must demand a just system in place.Ashok Agarwal, Advocate

Admission denial to girl student in class XI

Mon, Jan 14, 2013 at 3:29 PM
Delhi HC Notice to Delhi Govt. and govt. School
The High Court (Justice G.S.Sistani) today issued notices to Sarvodaya Girls’ Senior Secondary School, Kheda Khurd and the Directorate of Education, Delhi on a petition filed by a student Neha through Advocate Ashok Agarwal in Delhi High Court questioning inaction on the part of the School to grant admission to her in Class XI in the academic year 2012-13 and also to allow her to attend classes as she has passed Class X from the same school in the academic year 2011-12. 

“Neha could not seek admission to class XI as she suffered from Jaundice, typhoid and anemia and remained under medical treatment from 31.07.2012 to 14.09.2012 under Government Dispensary. On recovering from her illness, she approached the school in September 2012 for admission but the school denied her admission without any valid reason and in the violation of the provisions of Delhi School Education Act, 1973. Since then, Neha and her father Ashok Sharma (M-9213518566) have been running from pillar to post but till date, the school has not granted her admission,” submitted Mr. Agarwal.
“It is unfortunate, that the Government of Delhi which claims to be working for the welfare of girl students has literally punished the poor girl Neha by denying admission to her. The Government did not move even after receiving a legal notice of 11.12.2012 from the Social Jurist. Neha cannot be denied admission in such case where she could not join the school on account of her illness. A student cannot be legally asked to wait for another year as she may either loose interest in studies or may go astray on account of the passage of time,” argued Mr. Agarwal. 

The next date of hearing is 23.01.2013.
