Parents in Delhi are worried as private schools are speeding up the nursery admissions process infringing the government’s schedule. Reports suggest how parents have received notices from multiple schools in their areas. The main point that these schools are trying to get across is clear is that they want parents to work directly with their preferred school.
Salwan Public School in Mayur Vihar is an example of being proactive as they told parents about the “draw of lots” process that was coming up. Applications with points between 85 and 40 will only be considered for this process, which is set to begin on January 4 at 9:30 a.m.
Salwan Public School carefully planned everything. The school has also taken a systematic approach, setting applicants’ arrival times based on how many points they have earned, the New Indian Express reported. Other schools in the area, like Somerville School and Evergreen Public School in Vasundhara Enclave, are also taking the initiative and releasing their lists of chosen students on the same day.
The admissions process has changed a lot in the past few years, and this joint effort by several schools sets a new standard. However, the quick actions taken by these private schools have created confusion among the parents. Now they have to make a big choice: pay a non-refundable fee to guarantee a seat, or wait for the official list, which the Delhi government will release on January 12.
The situation is made even more difficult by the fact that the government notice gives parents conflicting dates for different events. Because of this, schools’ proactive measures show a forward-thinking approach to admissions, but they also make it very hard for parents to figure out how to enroll their children.
The faster pace of admissions procedures has added a sense of urgency, making parents impatient as they try to get clarity and certainty in the admissions process. This rush to start the “draw of lots” and then release the lists of chosen students before the government’s schedule has made things even less clear for parents and put more pressure on them to make decisions.
Salwan Public School’s proactive sharing of information, such as the specifics of how the “draw of lots” event would work, is an example of how the school works to make the admissions process open and fair. By putting applicants into groups based on their point scores and planning arrival times around those groups, these schools try to make the process easier for everyone, but they end up making things more difficult for parents.
The situation puts parents in a tough spot as they want to get a spot right away by paying a non-refundable fee, but they also don’t want to wait for the official government list. There is even more tension because the government and schools have different timelines and are taking different actions. This makes it hard for parents to make decisions.
In a nutshell, schools’ proactive measures are different from traditional admissions practices, but they also make things more complicated, making it harder for parents to make sure their kids get into the schools they want.
