Q 4. Share your experience with school already your child is studying in ( if any).

Most of the parents are satisfied butsome are changing schools..

-School should maintain discipline in class & guide for real life ....the teachers are well qualified but not experienced...-It's good but I'm looking for a better and economical school.-teacher ratio is 45:1 and charge around 7 k but not worth it-The basic fundamental of the subjects not cleared, they are motivating towards other

curriculum activities than the study-students strength is high and teachers are not able to focus on each and every child.-Good All round development but personal touch in activities missing totally-good ward of teachers but they are somehow lacking personal care for proper groomingtowards a child's basic foundation.- Its just the brand which is selling otherwise it lacks in minimum extracurricular activitieseven. No class participation, only bookish academics, no competitive skilled being developed inchildren. In nut shell for small children its not the right school because it does not help at all indevelopment of child's personality. Teachers are also not actuate with latest teaching methods.very disappointed. Management does not listen and take action on parents suggestions.

-The school he is studying presently is good but has a very slow pace which is fine for anaverage child, but since I know my child can do better so I feel he'll do better in some other school.-my son is studying in one of the reputed school of Delhi but I really don't like the callous and apathetic behavior of the teachers there.

Parenting an art or science..- Raji Vishwanathan, Director - Ascent Academy

Life affords no greater responsibility, no greater privilege, than the raising of the next generation. C.Everett Koop

Parenting these days is a task in many ways because of the overwhelmingly advanced mind sets and ideas thatthe new generation child portrays. This is inevitable because of the ever changing outlooks and personalities of todays generation and the fact that India, today, is becoming more broad-minded and with the exposurechildren have to cable (satellite) television. We see a whirlwind of change in our young,

Tips of Good Parenting include the following points

1. Take time to connect with your child on various levels. Talk and listen to your child, try to understandyour kids point of view by putting yourself in his/her shows and being reasonable in your advice tohim/her

2. Be a good friend to your child as well as a reasonable parent. Be flexible in your outlook yet create good,solid boundaries for your kids so that they can learn and grow with the right kind of discipline and rules

3. Follow certain guidelines yourself so that your kid can learn from practical viewing. For example: If thetoothpaste cover has to be shut after brushing and if that is one guideline in your home, then make sureyou follow it too. Another example is: If eating in front of the tv is not allowed, then you practice thattoo by eating at the dining area and not in front of the television set

4. Be a star example for your kid. Often, kids look up to someone and make that person their Mentor. Bethat Mentor for your kid by being everything that they are in awe of or look up to. That is a sure-winway to bring about a harmonious relation with your child or children

5. Encourage your child to develop the skills that he or she is interested in. Do not push your child intosomething that you are interested for them to be or do. Let them cultivate their interests and encouragethem to do so.

6. Do not put your child down in front of other people. This cultivates a sense of disagreement anddiscomfort in the kids mind and this calls for trouble.

7. Last of all, Be the best that you can be. You were a kid once too. Yes, Agreed that kids today are fardifferent from kids belonging to an earlier generation but still, deep down it takes easy steps and easymethods to connect with a childs heart and once you get there, you will find potential and beauty and allthings pure.

Being a role model has proved to be working perfectly. You just need to strive to achieve excellent positive

mental behavior. It speaks for itself. This is the actual starting point.

The act of discipline is good and even productive if it does not negate the issue in question and the appropriateapproach. You are said to achieve meaningful result if you can introduce the way out considered to bepositively motivating to them. No reasonable person will deliberately go the wrong way. Similarly we just needto gradually show children the most rewarding direction and they will strive to maintain standard.

So, Dear Parents we wish you happy and joyous parenting.

Send your requirement of workshop for students, teachers, parenting etc. ********************************

TIME MANAGEMENT PRACTIAL APPLICATION & CONSTRAINTS

- Dr. S.S. Bansal

High Aim and Higher Achievements Mission: Wandering Mind To Wondering Mind

Executives seldom wait event to happen, they make events to happen Expert services in study of human behavior and social relations Synchronization, impaired concentration & learning work, systematic study Paper attempting techniques, marks orientation & other educational problems

There is no doubt about the fact that true education is never achieved by an accident. It comes asa result of sustained dedication & sincere efforts, high dreams, wise counselling & planned execution with positive optimistic approaches . On scrutiny of the results of CBSEand other boards of so many states, it is concluded that besides the best efforts of schools,matured tutors and parents, candidates scored less marks with respects to their expectations.Symptoms & Causes concluded that students were not conversant with:

1. Synchronization 2. Time Management 3. Paper attempting techniques4. Systematic & Sequential Preparations for Exams5. Expecting quick results within short time span 6. Ambiguous target 7. Misconceptional attitudes8. Prejudiced notions 9. Multi directional efforts 10. Lack of competitive spirits 11. Adoption of shortcut methods 12. Examination Phobia.

With the introduction of new C.C.E plus and MCQ techniques as new policy by HRD ministry theimpacts are not known so far, it becomes very very important to impart adequate knowledge andpractice to the newly introduced policy of education to get its objectives.

Since marks orientations required a tactful approach to score fixed target. But the studentsgenerally adopt a multi directional approaches which cause among students Dementia -forgetfulness, Fatigue- mental exhaustion, lack of confidence, weak memory and poorgrasping ability, slow learning and low intellect, behavior disorder, irritability, anxiety,aggressiveness & stress. So it becomes mandatory to give stress on the fundamental & relevantknowledge of the concept & application of proper time management from the beginning of the session . Keeping the aptness of time & welfare of the students in view I wish to acumen & share my knowledge and experiences through counselling session regarding the above sightedproblems faced by all concerned.

This session is very effective for ICSE, CBSE & All states Education Board Examination. In anutshell a mark orientation schedule comprising of time management synchronization,impaired concentration, edifying the dearth of previous classes, target achievement(how to set & get the target) impressive writing techniques & grading system.

He has beeninvolved in counseling, counselor training and teacher education over two decades. Heis the man behind starting counseling programs for many reputed schools and othereducational institutions in the country.

Presently he holds many important positions in the field of counseling as well as education. He is Directorof Institute of Counselor Training, Research and Consultancy (ICTRC). He is also the Chief Mentor of Eduexcel and Chief Consultant of The Helping Hand. Apart from this Dr.Ravindran is also associated with

N.C.E.R.T., CBSE, Kendriya Vidyalayas, Navodayas, UGC Academic Staff College A.M.U., Delhi PoliceFoundation for De-addiction, National Institute of Criminology and Forensic Science, Government of J&Kand many more. Dr.Ravindran's contributions are not limited to students and educational institutions. Heis also associated with corporate houses like NTPC, Indian Oil Corporation, Maruti, and Hero Honda etc asa trainer. Dr.Ravindran has committed his life for a single mission that is to bring the benefits of counseling and guidance to every student in the country.

He spoke to S.S.Dogra ( Mg. Editor , Dwarka Parichay ) about career counselling concept inIndia. Excerpts:

Q. What is the concept of Career Counseling in India? Ans: In India Career counseling is still limited to providing career information. In the real sense CareerCounseling is helping the student in understanding himself, his abilities, aptitudes, interests andpersonality and guiding him to choose a career in accordance with his strengths and limitations.

Q. Whether the parents are aware of it? Compare the ratio of rural as well as urban segment. Ans.Only a very small segment of parents are aware of the concept of career counseling even in the urbanareas. In the rural areas it is almost negligible.

Q. Who are the much worried parents- Business class or service class or self-employed? Ans: Mainly the service class parents are most worried or concerned about the career of their children.Self-employed professionals are also much concerned. However, the Business class parents are notseriously anxious, but want their children to have some qualifications and training which will enable themto expand the family business.

Q. Who should seek career counseling, ie. At what standard, after 10th or 12th?


22/52


School Admission GuidanceAns.The students should get career counseling at least in class 10th becauseafter that they have to choose their subjects in class 11th. Otherwise the students will choose subjectsdepending on the opinions of friends and relatives etc. which may not be scientific. They will need careercounseling again in class 12th to narrow down their options and make a final decision.

Q. What are the qualities of a good career counselor? Ans: There is a lot of misinformation and misunderstanding on this topic. Now what is happening is, someone who has read a few books on careers start calling himself a Career Counselor and begins to giveadvice to students and parents as to what to do and what not to do. This is absolutely wrong. A CareerCounselor must have professional qualifications and training and experience. A Post Graduation (MA) inPsychology and a Professional Diploma in student counseling is the best combination. However, a PG in arelated area like M.Ed., M.Sc. Child Development, M.S.W. plus a professional diploma in studentcounseling will do. As regards the qualities of good counselor, there are many. He should be a patientlistener, empathetic, warm, well informed, impartial, and trustworthy and so on.

Q. What is the expectation of parents from the career counselor? Ans This is a very general question. The expectations of parents vary depending on their level of

awareness. Some parents simply want the counselor to convince their children to select a career that theparents think is the best for them. However, a small percentage of parents want the counselor to helpthem to choose a career in accordance with their strengths and limitations.

Q. When a parent should take guidance from career counselor? Ans: When the child is in class 9th or even 8th parents should start reading about careers and talk tocareer counselors. This will make them well informed. At the time of subject selection after class 10th it isdesirable both parents and child visit a career counselor. Again when the child is in class 12th one morevisit to the counselor will be helpful. Moreover, whenever there is a conflict between the parents and childabout career choice the role of the career counselor is invaluable.

Q. What are the fees/charges of a career counselor? Ans: The consultation charges of a career counselor vary depending on the qualifications, training,

experience and popularity of the career counselor. It will also depend on whether any psychological testsare conducted or not. The charges may range from Rs.300/- to Rs.3000/-

Q. Name a few career counselors/ institutes who can guide the students. Ans: This I cannot or will not do because I am not supposed to promote a particular individual orinstitution.

Q.What is future of career counseling in India? What are the employment opportunities for acareer counselor? Ans: Career Counseling has great future in this country. Job opportunities and self-employmentopportunities are unlimited for a professionally trained Career Counselor. There is a big shortage of professionally trained Career Counselors in India. Unfortunately, the facilities for training are very limited.The Govt. is doing what is possible. But it is like a drop in the ocean. The Organization that I am headingnow, ICTRC (Institute of Counselor Training, Research and Consultancy) was founded in the year 1992 tofill the vacuum that existed in counselor training in this country. We are trying to equip the untrainedcounselors as well as train new ones. We are also training teachers as counselors.

Q. Whether an Education/ Career Fair can shape / guide students for better career? Ans: Majority of the Education/ Career Fairs are marketing gimmicks. Therefore, the information displayedthere are not impartial. However, students may visit these fares because it will widen their careerinformation horizon. But students should take their decisions only after proper thought. They should notbe carried away by the sales talk of the representatives of the institutions.

Q.What is the response of students about career counseling? Ans: The response of students to career counseling is overwhelming. As a result of overload of

complicated information and lack of proper guidance students are baffled and confused. They need the


23/52


School Admission Guidancehelp of an impartial professional career counselor.

Q. How long have you been in this profession? What is your experience? Ans: I have been involved counseling and counselor-training for more than two decades. My feeling is thata lot more has to be done. There is a great need for creating awareness among students, parents,teachers, administrators and authorities about the need and importance of Career Counseling.

Why is it so hard for children to control themselves?

Dr. M. C. Jain M. A. P.hD ( Psychology ) Consultant Psychologist

Self- control is not traditionally part of a childs job description, but over the last 20 years ,scientists have gathered a lot more information about why children are particularly prone to failuresof self-control, compared with adults.

Let us take an example of Sohan. He tends to do whatever comes into his mind, apparently withoutpausing to think about the impact or result or consequences of his actions. Emotionallyunpredictable, his behavior is often atrocious-so bad, in fact that going out with him in public canbe a nightmare. His family says that he seems to have no off button. His manners are nonexistent,he has the attention span of a gnat, and his reckless, confrontational behavior means he isconstantly getting himself into trouble. He displays a total disregard for rules and regulations, andoften comes across as selfish, boastful and immature.

Sohan cuts an unattractive figure. We have all come across children who behave like Sohan and if we are honest, at times we can recognize elements of Sohan in even the most immaculatelybehaved child. Sohan, however, is not a child. He is a 40year old adult and prior to a car accidentten months ago; his personality and behavior were very different. He was a gentle, shy, cultivatedman, much loved by his friends and respected by his office colleagues. Sohan suffers from acondition called orbito-frontal syndrome pattern of disinherited emotion and behavior caused bydamage to a particular part of his brain. Cases of brain injury such as Sohans have givenresearchers invaluable insights into how the brain works and have been enormously helpful inmapping how different areas of the brain relate to specific abilities. Interestingly, neuroscientistshave also discovered that the area of the brain damaged in Sohans case does not fully develop inperfectly normal human beings until well into their teenage years.

School Admission GuidanceIn the language of cognitive psychology, the prefrontal cortex is thecommand center for the cool system This is the counter part of the hot system. It seems thatour ability to exercise effective self control depends upon the way these two systems interact. Thehot system is designed to produce rapid, automatic reaction to aspects of the environment that weneed to be attracted to or repelled by. Whereas the cool system gives us our ability to process morecomplex aspects of the world. The cool system is rational, logical and trades in the currency of information instead of high-octane emotion. Although functionally distinct, these two systems arelinked. In children, the cooling system takes time to evolve. A combination of fewer cool nodes andpoor connections with relevant hot spots tends to leave children at the mercy of their hot systemimpulses.

TIPS FOR MOTIVATION

Geeta

Motivation is the characteristic that helps you achieve your goal. It is the drive that pushes you to workhard and reach whatever it is that you are after. It is the energy that gives you the strength to get up andkeep going - even when things are not going your way.

Motivation can be intrinsic or extrinsic (internal and external) - With extrinsic motivation, you aremotivated by rewards from an external source - you will be inspired by the recognition that you will getfrom external sources. Intrinsic motivation is something internal - you are motivated to reach your goalfor your own internal benefits - Example - reading a book so that you can get the grade you are afterversus reading a book so that you can learn something.

Intrinsic motivation is better than extrinsic motivation. But for many finding intrinsic motivation is noteasy - it has to come from inside out. But once you get it, intrinsic motivation is much more powerful thanthe extrinsic.

Positive Motivation is where the focus is on what you want to achieve. You know where you're going. It isthe result of positive thinking and will cause a sustained progress towards your goal. Holding the image of your goal in your thoughts will attract the inspiration needed to get you there. Its effect is strong andconsistent and the results achieved are prolonged and steady.

Negative Motivation can best be described as wanting to get away from an existing condition. A goodexample is someone that has grown up in poverty and will do anything to not fall into it again. This is astrong motivation and can be an effective "Kick Start" but the results it achieves are markedly differentfrom those of Positive Motivation. The effect can often be likened to a roller coaster ride. A classic exampleis the countless millionaires who make their fortunes and lose them time and time again. This type of motivation lacks the sustained results that come from Positive Motivation.

Self-motivation is a continuing process and the only way we become better and stronger is to create a fewmistakes along the way and also face a few setbacks. In essence, you must take a specific sum of riskbecause it is the fantastic occasions and the bad that forces us to a better person.

The thing with us Personal Development types is, we're always talking about creating our best life.We know that success is represented by different things for different people, but society teaches us thatsuccess is typically about money, position, attractiveness, power and influence There is are actually threeeffective ways on how you can easily motivate yourself and get things done easily.

First thing to remember, it is important to stay focused. Keep focused not on your things that you arefacing with, but focus on the reward of that task once it has already been completed. Now, wouldn't thatbe much better if we know there is something waiting for us after completing that task? That is a prettygood motivation to think of. Keep your attention on your work and on your work alone - through this it willfurther help you to motivate yourself in completing the work rather than saving it for later.

Secondly, make sure that it is clear to you why you wanted to finish those things done. Preserve a clear

vision of what you want. Visualize your wanted output and keep that in mind not until you are not yetdone with the work. It is important that you are clear with the reason and you will simply get themotivation that you need.

And lastly, establish a daily habit in completing the things that needs to be done. Do the important tasksduring a particular time every day. Make sure that you would only do important tasks during that timethat you have set. Discipline yourself to follow to your own schedule, as motivation itself would alwayscome with self-discipline below are great self motivation tips that are sure to help you become more activeand productive every day.

Tips for Motivation Know what you want to do and what you want to achieve, be it a long-term or a short-term goal. Makesure they are achievable. Write them down and post it on your wall where you can see it every morning.

Make it a habit to read them out loud. Visualize them and share them with your friends. Get yourself an accountability partner / coach.Share your dreams, plans and goals with your coach, create a realistic action plan and then get busy. Create a to-do list and do the stuff you've been avoiding, first. Consciously avoid making excuses.When you feel an excuse climbing up onto your tongue... give yourself an uppercut. Have something to look forward to when you wake up each morning. Think of the happy and good thingsthat are going to happen on that day. Doing this will surely set your mood and mindset for the rest of theday. Discover the best way to motivate yourself. Different people have different personalities and preferences.You just have to experiment and find out what gets you into action. You can get out and breathe somefresh air. You can play your favourite music as you do your early morning routine. You can think of aperson that inspires you the most or probably a movie you have seen. Think less, do more.Thinking and planning is great... but we should not over-think. Before going to bed, think of the great things that happened during the day.

School Admission Guidance********************************************

Basic purpose of education is the total

development of human personality[The excerpt taken from address by Most Revered Swami Gahananandaji Maharaj delivered/read out during the inauguration of Ramakrishna Mission Vivekananda

Educational and Research Institute at Belur Math. Most Revered Swami Gahananandaji Maharaj served as 14th President of the Ramakrishna Order]

Nearly a hundred years ago Swami Vivekananda showed the close connection between culture andeducation. Wherever there is a great culture, you will find behind it, a highly developed system of education. Ancient India could produce a great culture because it developed a wonderful system of education.

In those days, people took education seriously. In the Taittiriya Upanishad, we find a discussion on whattrue tapas is. The opinion of the Vedic Rishi is: "swadhyaya pravacana eva-eti" - "study and teachingalone" constitute true tapas. Education itself is the best tapas, that is, the best form of humaneffort.

According to Swami Vivekananda, the basic purpose of education is the total development of human personality. Everyone is endowed with certain capacities, which remain dormant, although in apotential form, in childhood. Swami Vivekananda believed education is the process by which theseinherent potentialities in human personality manifest themselves in completing his or her totaldevelopment.

This total development of human personality includes intellectual and moral development . Most of the

present day school and college curriculum only aim at intellectual development. It is in this field thatwestern science, technology and commerce have attained tremendous success.

Science is systematic pursuit of knowledge at empirical level. The scientific method gives a very goodtraining to the mind. It was by applying the scientific method that western countries made tremendousadvancement in technology and acquired great wealth and power.

Swami Vivekananda was one of the first among religious teachers to understand the importance of scienceand technology. In the first place, Swamiji saw that poor countries like India would be able to overcomepoverty and backwardness only by mastering technology. Secondly, Swamiji saw that science is notcontradictory to the eternal spiritual principles, which is the foundation of Indian culture. Both Scienceand eternal religion are concerned with truth. Science seeks truth in the physical world, whereasreligion seeks truth in the spiritual realm. Thus, religion and science are complementary.

The other primary purpose of education is to build character and to enable people to lead morallives . However, this is precisely the field where most of the modern systems of education have failed.Swami Vivekananda has given a new definition of morality. To quote his words, " The only definitionthat can be given of morality is this: that which is selfish is immoral, and that which is unselfish

is moral ". For Swamiji unselfishness and service are not mere matters of rules and regulations but of reality. If God dwells in all beings as the Supreme Self, if every man is potentially divine, then to serveGod in man or man as God is the best form of worship. To quote Swamiji's own words: " It is a privilegeto serve mankind, for this is the worship of God. God is here in all these human souls. He is thesoul of man ." (C.W.I. 424)

Nursery Admission in the Private Schools of Delhi

Report

1. Introduction

The admission process to nursery classes has been the subject of much controversy in recent years.

Private unaided schools, in particular, have come under critical scrutiny for their admission procedures.

This issue has been agitating the minds of educationists, parents, jurists and all those concerned with the

education of young children as to how the trauma and tension associated with the admission process can

be eliminated and a child - friendly method evolved.

1.1 The rapidly growing Indian economy has led to accelerated upward mobility of different sections of the

population. This trend, in its turn, has created greater awareness among people about the quality

dimension of school education along with higher levels of aspiration. In an educational set up

that is divided between a fast-growing private sector participation and a much larger public or state

sector, the issue of quality assumes great complexity. There is a widely prevalent belief that many

of the state-run schools are not always as good as several of the private schools, particularly in

urban areas. Also the distribution of private schools is very uneven and there has been no

systematic school mapping done. All these factors have contributed to a phenomenal increase in the

demand for admission to quality schools.


32/52


School Admission Guidance1.2 In this context the craze for admission to private schools that are perceived

as better options by the parents has created an anomalous situation where the number of applicants far

exceeds the number of seats available in these schools. However the demand exceeding the supply is not

noticed uniformly in all private schools nor is the pressure for admission of the same magnitude in all

such schools. While some very well established and reputed private schools receive, on the average, ten

times the applications against the number of seats available, there are also many small and newly

established private schools which do not receive even the minimum number of applications for the

available seats. Concurrently there are a number of government-run schools that command respect from

the parents and hence are in great demand also.

1.3 But since such quality institutions in the government sector, both Central and State run, are few in

number and as their admission norms and procedures do not favour the middle and affluent classes and

those in private employment, this category of parents are compelled to seek admission in un-aided

private schools for their children. Since children admitted in the nursery class of a private school can

continue in the same school till they complete their senior secondary course, admission at this entry

point becomes crucial for many parents. All these years the private schools of Delhi have been

following their own admission procedure for nursery classes.

1.4 The admission procedures for these very young children between the ages of 3.5 and 5 years oftenconsist of written/oral selection test for children, interview of children, and interview of/interaction with

parents. Criteria such as siblings, neighbourhood concept, alumni, profession and educational

qualifications of parents are also included by some schools in their admission criteria for short listing of

candidates. As there is no common admission procedure for all the private schools of Delhi, each

school has been using its own discretion in formulating a procedure and implementing it for selecting

children for admission to nursery classes. In doing so, there have often been complaints that procedures

used are not transparent and equitable and as a result, many parents felt unfairly treated. Since so much

of the future of their children was at stake, these feelings have a legitimacy of their own.

1.5 The proposal to eliminate interviews/observations of children and interaction with parents is a step in the

right direction. The process of interview subjects the tiny tots to a lot of tension and anxiety. Further, if

they are not selected after attending the interview, they experience a sense of rejection which is

contrary to all sound educational principles. There is potential in every child and it is the schools

and societys responsibility to draw out this potential and look to the healthy growth and development of


33/52


School Admission Guidanceevery child including those with special needs and the economically or

socially deprived sections bearing in mind the value of inclusivity in education.

1.6 If children are not to be interviewed, what are the alternative methods of selection? This question

received considerable attention of the committee. The obvious alternatives that emerged from different

interest groups were First Come, First Served and lottery system. The former may work in small

schools where the enrolment as well as demand are small. But it is not feasible in established schools

because it results in chaos and confusion with parents queuing up all night to be first in the queue.

Further this method may not help in having a good mix of students in the classroom.

1.7 The lottery system may, on the face of it, seem the most transparent of selection methods, giving

everyone an equal chance for admission. But the concept of gaining entry into an academic institution

through a lottery system, based on gamble and luck, that too at the very beginning of a childs school

life is quite unacceptable to a vast majority of people. Further, selecting children solely on the basis of

draw of lots may result in lopsided distribution of seats. However, the committee is of the view that the

method of draw of lots may become necessary in certain situations for the short listing of students

particularly to break the tie at the last stage.

1.8 Keeping all these considerations in view the committee came to the conclusion that the alternative

method should be based on many relevant and appropriate criteria and it should have sufficientflexibility so that schools would be able to adapt it according to their contexts and need.

2. Directive of Honble Delhi High Court

It is against this background that the order of the Honble Delhi High Court in LPA No. 196/2004

assumes immense significance. The three important aspects of the above order are as follows:

1. A committee of experts in education has been constituted by the Honble Delhi Court. This

committee has been directed to go into the entire gamut of issues relating to nursery admission in

the private schools of Delhi comprehensively and submit its report to the Court by 17 th October,

2006.

2. The committee has been asked by the court to give a hearing to the Counsels appearing in this case

on behalf of different petitioners and examine their suggestions before drafting its report.

3. The order of the court has enumerated the following three basic criteria for evolving a common

admission procedure:


34/52


School Admission Guidance The entire process leading to the admission of tiny tots should be

transparent.

The system of interview should be eliminated.

Discretion of the Management/Principal is minimized.

2.1 In the discharge of the responsibility entrusted to the committee we situated ourselves to understand

fully the context in which the honourable court found it necessary to intervene and set up this committee

to go into the details of the issue comprehensively and come up with suitable solutions. So we have

divided our presentation in three parts:

The first part deals with the multiple contexts that obtain in Delhi, giving a brief background of the

main issues involved in nursery admission. This part also contains the procedure adopted by thecommittee to collect feedback from different stakeholders.

The second part gives a brief outline of certain policy perspectives that have a bearing on the

admission process.

The third part attempts to offer solutions in the face of the diversity of contexts and at the same time

keeping in view the basic directives from the honourable court which we have mentioned earlier.

Part I

3. In our effort to evolve a common, rational admission process that takes into account all parameters, we

interviewed those persons whom the court had mentioned and also invited representations from

associations of schools. We also invited comments from parents both through website and through

other means within a short time span.

3.1 The committee decided to invite representatives to receive their explanatory comments and suggestions.

The following people met the committee in this regard:

1. Mr. Ashok Agarwal, Advocate for parents and Social Jurist.

2. Mr. Rakesh K. Khanna, Counsel representing National Progressive Schools Council and Action

Committee.

3. Mr. S.K. Bhattacharya representing Action Committee and Bal Bharti Public Schools.

4. Mr. S.C. Baveja, Joint Secretary, Child Education Society.

5. Mr. Sunil Salwan, Counsel representing Shriram Foundation and Salwan Education Trust.

6. Mr. Kuljit Rawal, Counsel representing Montford School.


35/52


School Admission Guidance7. Mr. Puneet Mittal, Advocate for D.P.S. Society.

8. Mr. A.S. Pasrich, Counsel for the Nursery Schools.

9. Mrs.Manju Bharatram, Chairperson, Shriram Group of Schools .

3.2 Letters were also sent to the following people who had appeared in the case, inviting their suggestions

and comments:

1. Mr. V.K. Tandon, Counsel for NCT of Delhi.

2. Mr. Rakesh Aggarval, Advocate for Mirambika School.

Besides the above persons, we had also sought suggestions from educationists, school associations

and parents through website and other modes of communication. The Committee also examined the

representations submitted by Mrs. Rajni Kumar, Director, Springdales School and the IndependentSchools Federation of India.

3.3 The salient points contained in the suggestions and comments of these representatives and stakeholders

are summarized below:

By and large, most of the respondents have agreed that interview of children and interaction with

parents should be eliminated from the admission procedure. However, a few have argued that

informal observation of children in stress-free conditions would be helpful in ascertaining the needs

of children as well as their motor development and language skills. Similarly, they have suggested

that informal interaction with parents should also be allowed to know their values and what they

expect from the school as well as to verify the authenticity of information given in the registration

forms.

Neighbourhood concept figures prominently and frequently in the suggestions. Most of the

respondents are also in favour of giving staggered weightage to the neighbourhood concept,

maximum weightage being given to the children living nearest to the school and moving gradually to

farther areas. An outside limit of 10 km has been suggested by many.

Preference to siblings and alumni is also strongly recommended by almost all the persons who have

responded.

A majority of the representatives were not in favour of selecting children solely through lottery

system though a few have suggested it for breaking ties at the last stage of short listing where there

are too many applicants.


36/52


School Admission Guidance That the classroom and school should reflect the diversity in the

composition of the society is a recurrent opinion in the suggestions received. It has been

recommended by many that to achieve this aim, proportional representation may be given to

different sections of society on the basis of certain criteria like parents from different professions,

from different socio cultural and economic backgrounds etc. It may be worked out on a pro-rata

basis.

Educational qualification of parents has also received considerable attention from the stakeholders.

It is argued that by encouraging educational status of parents, the policy directive would send a clear

message about the important role that parents play in the education and development of their

children. This empowerment and growth support takes place through the educational status of both

the father and mother. Many are of the view that weightage under this criterion should be given

separately for mother and father. In the case of single parents, weightage could be doubled.

Consideration to children with special needs and girl children has also been recommended by many

respondents.

A small percentage of seats has been suggested to be given at the discretion of the school

management.

One of the respondents has made a proposal based on a 100-point marking to give weightage to

listening skills, motor development, speech etc. A separate marking on the registration form was

also proposed giving weightage of 100 points for different criteria like distance, educational

qualification of parents, profession of parents, sibling criterion, alumni category etc. Another

representative of a group of schools has also suggested a scale of 1 to 100 with weightage points

distributed for different criteria with a provision for representation for professionals, business

persons, parents working in private sector and parents working in government sector.

3.4 Apart from the above suggestions, a good number of ideas were received from parents through e-mail.

A summary of these ideas is given below:

The most effective check to curb malpractices by public schools is to follow the neighbourhood

system.

Siblings of children who are already studying in a school should be automatically admitted. Children of the staff of the school should get admission automatically.

Children of alumni should get weightage in the admission process.


37/52


School Admission Guidance 50% of seats should go to management, siblings, alumni and children

of transferable employees of public sector undertakings and government organizations. The

remaining 50% of seats should go to the general category including children from the economically

and socially weaker sections.

Interview of parents and children should be strictly avoided and irrelevant personal details should

not be asked in the registration form.

All schools should follow a common schedule of admission and a common uniform Registration

Form.

Schools could have 10% quota at their discretion and admit those whom they choose to. Lottery system is unfair because it will not ensure a mixed socio-economic group of children in a

classroom. (Though a few have made a strong case for draw of lots to decide admissions whereverthe number of applicants is more than the seats available.)

First-come-first-served will not be suitable as it will lead to many unhealthy practices. (However

some parents have argued that it would eliminate discretion of school management.)

Delineate a fixed number of parameters like sibling, proximity, educational qualification of parents

etc. Then schools will define certain percentages for each category and then give admission on the

basis of such a categorization.

3.5 In addition, many parents have suggested that the criteria for admission, the time schedule starting from

distribution of registration form upto final admission and other relevant details about the schools

infrastructure, fee structure including various categories of fees payable, faculty, special facilities

available, scope for the special needs of challenged children, past performance in different areas, etc.,

should be put up on the notice board, schools website and printed in the prospectus.

Part II

4. Some Policy Directives that have a Bearing on Nursery Admission

Chapter XII, Clause 132 of Delhi School Education Act, 1973 :

Admission test not to be held by aided schools Save as otherwise provided in this chapter, no aided

school shall hold any test for admission to any class except with the written approval of the Director.

Provided that nothing in this rule shall prevent the holding of tests for the admission to any class

higher than class I of such candidates as have not studied in any recognized school prior to their

seeking admission.

Chapter XII Clause 145

Admission to recognized unaided schools


38/52


School Admission Guidance1. The head of every recognized unaided school shall regulate

admissions to a recognized unaided school or to any class thereof either on the basis of

admission test or on the basis of result in a particular class or school.

2. Subject to the provision of sub rule (1), the provisions of this chapter shall, so far as may be,apply to admission to a recognized unaided school as they apply to admission to an aided school.

When read together the above clauses clearly stipulate that admission on the basis of admission

test or marks is permitted only to any class higher than class I.

___________________________________________________________Circular No. FDE23(98)/School/98-99/8316-8780, dated 283.2001.

Admission to class I or KG whichever is the Initial class in all Government Sarvodaya

Vidyalayas Instructions thereof .

3. Wards of parents residing within a radius of 3 kms. of the school will be eligible for registration

of their wards for admission.

___________________________________________________________

4.1 Neighbourhood Schools

It seems appropriate here to explain the rationale behind neighbourhood school concept because many

stakeholders including parents have come out strongly in favour of Common or Neighbourhood

Schools while framing a policy for nursery admission. It also has a logic because it will promoteheterogeneous school population which will enrich the learning environment. It will also promote social

integration. The concept of Neighbourhood Schools was enunciated by the Education Commission

(1964-66) which recommended adoption of the Neighbourhood School Concept first at the lower

primary stage and then at the higher primary. The National Policy on Education 1986 reiterated this

view.

Successive Education Committees have emphasized the need for making the school and the classroom

truly reflective of the societys diversity. The National Curriculum Framework 2005 also lays emphasison the need to deal with the metaphorical triangle of equality, quality and quantity. The

neighbourhood school concept can be used as an effective instrument for achieving excellence and

equity simultaneously. Children at the tender age of 3+ years should have access to schools in their own

localities, so that they are not forced to commute a long distance to attend school.

The committee gave considerable thought to the neighbourhood concept and came to the conclusion that

it could be adopted as one of the criteria with some flexibility to provide for the uneven distribution of

schools in different localities of Delhi. Further, in the absence of a systematic school mapping in the


39/52


School Admission Guidancecapital, it is not advisable to establish a very restrictive pattern in terms of

distance. So a small beginning can be made in this regard with admission at the nursery class and the

committee would like to suggest that a road map for common school system may be developed for

implementation over a period of ten years in the entire spectrum of ten years of schooling. It was also

decided that, to begin with, there should be at least a 10 km radius as the outer limit with a staggered

weightage point scale. The area closest to the school would get maximum weightage and as the distance

from the school increases the weightage would decrease. Though no weightage would be given for

children who come from beyond 10 km, their registration forms, however, would be accepted by the

school for consideration.

4.2 Sibling Category

When siblings go to the same school, there is considerable advantage and convenience to the children as

well as to the parents. The elder child can be a source of support, guidance and protection for the

younger child. The common schedule of buses, school timings, holidays and school functions also helps

parents in planning their routines and outings. Many parents have also suggested that siblings should be

admitted automatically. Keeping these aspects in mind the committee has included Sibling Category as

an important criterion for awarding weightage.

4.3 Alumni Category

Well-established schools that have been in existence for many years have a number of alumni who

desire that their children should also study in the same school. Besides the emotional attachment,

parents who cherish the value system, ethos and vision of their alma mater would like to give these

benefits to their children also. Further, the schools have a special responsibility towards the children of

their old students whose life, in a way, was shaped by the schools in which they studied. So the

committee has provided for alumni as a separate category with weightage to be given to father and

mother individually, if they are alumni of the school.

4.4 Children with Special Needs

This is an age of inclusive education. Every educational institution has to strive to provide appropriate

educational service to all types of children. It is no longer valid to argue that children with special needs

have to go to special schools. Such children learn better when they are mainstreamed. Other children

also cherish the experience of studying with a heterogeneous peer group and such an experience is very

enriching for them. However, every school may not have the facilities and the expertise to cater to all

children with special needs. Depending on their own contexts and capacities, schools can offer some


40/52


School Admission Guidanceweightage to children with special needs. For this purpose the committee

has proposed a separate criterion of Children with Special Needs without specifying the types of such

needs they may includ
