New Delhi: In a major setback to private schools in the national capital, the Delhi High Court rejected their petition to stay Lieutenant Governor Najeeb Jung's order on nursery admissions. The petitioners had questioned the power by which Jung issued guidelines for nursery admissions in Delhi.
The petition was filed by Delhi School Association after Jung made some changes in nursery admission process and decided to put an end to the management quota following protests by parents. The petitioners argued that the order compromised the autonomy of private unaided schools in Delhi.
The Lieutenant Governor had passed guidelines in 2013, which ended the 20 per cent management quota in private schools.
According to the new guidelines, all students will be enrolled under the same 100-point system. It has also brought in a clause of added preference for children from the same neighbourhood as the school or children who lived within an eight kilometre radius of the school.
Schools must also mention the area and roadmap on the notice board and school website.
