The nursery rush

Updated on: Wednesday, January 04, 2012

Come New Year and it will be a run for parents of toddlers in the city. The struggle begins January 2 onwards when the sale of pre-school forms will begin. However, unlike last years confusion over the guidelines and schools coming up with varied eligibility criteria, this year may be easier for parents applying with the process simplified.

According to the Directorate of Education (DOE), Delhi, no school shall deny admission to a child under the EWS, disadvantaged category on the basis of distance or neighbourhood. Also, ending the debate on the age of admittance, the Delhi High Court, in its December 16 order, has decided 3+ years as the age of toddlers for public-private schools.
