Anxious parents queued up outside private schools in Delhi to buy admission forms for nursery. The points system declared by the Directorate of Education caused a lot of confusion amongst the parents. The point system was a basis of selecting evaluating a child according to various parameters decided by the school. These were included in the admission form as questions.
The proximity of a school to a child's home, the number of siblings studying in the institution, whether the parent's are ex-alumni or not, single parents or not and several other questions which formed a criteria to evaluate the child and the child's parents on. Mr. Srinivasan, a parent who had come to Salwan Public School to buy the admission form for his son couldn't understand how his having a degree from IIT or IIM or even his being a doctor could help his child get a seat into nursery.
However, schools feel differently. According to them, the parents' educational background does play a role in the child's intelligence and weightage must be given to such children. Some schools have points if the child's parent has any 'special achievement. ' Some parent's feel the criterias that some schools come up with on the pretext of the Point system and ridiculous and is made up to fit certain children or parent's they wish to favour."It is a way to take in children they want to for benefits of their own under a legal garb" said Mr. Kapoor, a parent who had applied to almost nearly 15 schools in the city because the point system had lowered her child's chances of getting admitted into a school this year.
