Nursery Admissions 2016-17 in Gurgaon begin at a two day fair....

Admissions to nursery classes in city schools for the 2016-17 academic session began with Schoolex — a two-day exhibition that ended Sunday. More than 9,000 parents visited the fair. Many admitted they were surprised by proactive schools, who were willing to offer admissions ad lib.

Vijay Aggarwal, a parent and Sector 56 resident, said, "I got interested in two of the participating schools, but was taken aback when I learnt they were offering admissions on the spot. I thought I should postpone the decision until I do more research."

The schools, however, said they were only offering on-the-spot registrations and not admissions. "We were not offering admissions, but inviting parents to visit the school and then take a decision," said a representative of Kunskapsskolan School, DLF I.

Nursery Admissions 2016-2017 in Gurgaon will end up early this time.....

गुड़गांव में सोमवार से नर्सरी एडमिशन की भागदौड़ शुरू हो गई। इस बार नर्सरी एडमिशन अपने समय से एक महीने पहले ही शुरू हो रहे हैं। अमूमन एडमिशन अगस्त के अंतिम सप्ताह से शुरू होते हैं। लेकिन कुछ स्कूल 1 अगस्त से एडमिशन शुरू करने जा रहे हैं।

दिल्ली-एनसीआर में नर्सरी एडमिशन सबसे पहले गुड़गांव में ही शुरू होते हैं। क्लासेज अप्रैल 2016 में लगेंगी लेकिन एडमिशन की प्रक्रिया इस बार स्कूल अगस्त तक पूरी कर देंगे। अगस्त के मध्य तक सभी स्कूल अपनी लिस्ट निकालने की तैयारियां कर रहे हैं। सेशन से 7 महीने पहले एडमिशन प्रक्रिया शुरू करने का विरोध पिछले कई साल से लगातार हो रहा है। लेकिन हरियाणा स्तर पर नर्सरी एडमिशन को लेकर कोई क्लियर गाइडलाइंस नहीं है।

25 अगस्त को लगेगा एजुकेशन फेयर

डीपीएस सुशांत लोक स्कूल में एडमिशन विंडो मंडे से शुरू हो चुकी है। पहले ही दिन यहां प्रॉस्पेक्टस के लिए काफी इंक्वायरी आनी शुरू भी हो गईं। वहीं, 25 जुलाई से 45 से अधिक स्कूल एडमिशन से जुड़े फेयर स्कूलेक्स में ही अपनी एडमिशन प्रक्रिया शुरू कर देंगे। वहीं, स्कूलेक्स की आयोजक मुग्धा अरोड़ा ने बताया कि पिछली बार स्कूलेक्स का आयोजन 9 व 10 अगस्त को किया गया था। लेकिन इस बार एडमिशन की प्रक्रिया जल्दी हो गई है, तो इसका शेड्यूल भी जल्दी किया है। इस बार 25 व 26 अगस्त को ही इस एडमिशन फेयर का आयोजन कर रहे हैं।

कुछ स्कूल नहीं लगेंगे फेयर में हिस्सा

10-year jail for Schools Interviewing kids or parents for Admissions for Nursery admissions (Delhi)

AAP Govt. is planning to introduce the Delhi School Education (Amendment) Bill 2015.

School authorities interviewing a child or his or her parents for admission to nursery classes could face imprisonment of up to 10 years if the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government in Delhi has its way. With an aim to make existing rules strict to prevent arbitrariness of private schools in nursery admissions, the Arvind Kejriwal government is planning to introduce the Delhi School Education (Amendment) Bill 2015.

The draft of the proposed Bill suggests that at an entry level in pre-primary and pre-school, where children are below the age of six, schools should neither interview a child nor his or her parents. "Any person or school violating the admission rules should be punished with imprisonment for a term which shall not be less than five years but which may extend up to 10 years. The punishment may vary provided that the court may, for any adequate and special reason to be recorded in writing, impose a sentence of imprisonment for a term, which may be less than five years," it said.

There are 1100 government-run schools and 1500 private schools in Delhi. Another draft Bill being debated is on the regulation of collection of fee by unaided private schools in the national capital. "The government shall constitute a committee for the purpose of determination of fee for any standard or course of study in unaided private schools," reads the proposed draft.

Woman Arrested in Delhi Nursery Admission Racket

Police have arrested the daughter of the alleged kingpin of a scam related to nursery schools in Delhi, who was caught posing as the mother of a child and forged documents to secure an admission at Springdales School in Dhaula Kuan.

The arrest brings the police one step closer to unravelling a racket that has brought several top city schools under the scanner. 

The arrested woman, a law student, is the daughter of Gurdeep Singh, who is the alleged mastermind behind the scam and is missing, Police said.

The police have brought in charges of forgery and impersonation against the woman, who is also believed to have been involved in more such admissions.

The scam surfaced last month after the head of one the groups Mukesh Sharma and three others Anil Kumar, Sudama Singh and Dharam Singh were arrested. 

Police have since then busted two more groups and arrested in total nine people, leading them to believe that an organized syndicate is involved in the racket. Several school officials, parents, students, touts, principals are being probed for complicity. 

The Police say there have been hundreds of such admissions in the last two years, where students are passed off as coming from economically weaker sections, and the number may go up substantially. The accused charged anything between 1 lakh and 5 lakh per admission depending on the school and the income of the parents.

Notices have been served to more than a dozen schools wherein police has sought the list of students admitted under the EWS quota and the documents furnished by them.

Well-known institutions like DPS Mathura Road, Rohini and several other DPS schools are being probed along with Bal Bharati Public School Pitampura, GD Goenka School, Modern School, Ryan International.
