DoE halts the admission process at schools for not uploading the admission criteria

On Saturday, DoE published a list of 105 schools which had failed to upload the admission criteria on their official websites and ordered to halt the admission process temporarily at these schools. As of now, the list has been trimmed down to 44 schools. On November 26, 2018, all the private schools in Delhi were directed to upload the admission criteria on their respective official websites latest by December 14. The former date was also the last date to publish the admission criteria for the entry-level classes such -- nursery, kindergarten or Class I. On December 15, 2018, DoE announced that 105 schools have not uploaded the admission criteria on their websites and directed them to do the same latest by 9pm on December 15, 2018. It also said that schools who will fail to comply with the DoE directives, action against them will be taken under the Section 24(4) of the Delhi Education Act, 1973, which states “if a school’s management fails to comply with directions from DoE, the Director may consider —after taking into account the school’s report — stopping the school’s aid, withdrawing recognition or, except in the case of a minority school, taking over the school.” As of now, most of the schools have complied with the directive and the list now only contain names of 44 defaulter schools. For the schools who failed to comply with the orders, DoE has ordered these schools to put on their admission process on hold until they follow the directions in the interest of ‘transparency, reasonability and uniformity in admissions’. It is advised to the parents not to approach the schools mentioned in the list for admission purposes.
