The Delhi government’s directorate of education (DoE) on Tuesday issued another warning to private schools that have failed to notify their criteria for nursery admissions to do so by December 31 otherwise action would be taken against them.
According to data available with DoE, 324 out of 1,737 private schools have not notified their criteria yet despite passing of two deadlines and the department warning them of strict action. The defaulter schools have now been asked to comply with the directive latest by December 31.
The DoE had asked all the unaided recognised schools to “develop and adopt criteria for admission which shall be clear, well defined, equitable, non-discriminatory, unambiguous and transparent”.
The schools were asked to upload the criteria adopted for admission to entry level classes (other than those for economically weaker sections and disadvantaged groups) for the academic session 2016-17 on the directorate’s website latest by December 20.
However, after over 1,300 schools had failed to meet the deadline, the DoE issued a notice warning the schools of strict action.
