Nursery admission process in Delhi from Jan 1

The Delhi government on Monday said the process of nursery admissions will start from January 1 and continue till March 31. Education minister Arvinder Singh Lovely also said suggestions have been sought from principals of schools over drafting guidelines for admissions into nursery classes incorporating provisions of Right to Education Act. He said the issue will come up before Delhi Cabinet on Monday.


Lovely had earlier warned private schools not to start the process for nursery admissions before issuance of relevant guidelines and had said that punitive action will be taken against the violators.

Officials said all the private schools will have to reserve 25% of total seats for poor students and government will provide financial help to the schools for these students.

Asked about private schools contemplating increasing fee to implement RTE, Lovely had said no school will be allowed to do so.
