NEW DELHI:
The Delhi High Court on Wednesday directed the Action Committee of Recognised Unaided Schools here to put in place within a week an alternative mechanism in place of interviews for admissions to nursery and pre-nursery classes.
The Court has already said "no'' to the longstanding practice of subjecting children and their parents to interviews for admissions to these classes in private unaided schools across the Capital.
Pulling up the Action Committee for not devising a transparent alternative admission mechanism to the existing one despite having been given almost a year, a Division Bench of the Court headed by Justice Vijender Jain said the Court knew the school managements were manipulating the present admission process for the two classes.
The Bench has been hearing appeals by parents of three nursery children against a single-judge order of the Court whereby Justice S.K. Kaul had in January 2003 rejected their petitions seeking a direction to debar schools in the Capital from subjecting parents as well as their wards to interviews for admission to these classes.
