Delhi admin should move SC against nursery admission verdict:

Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) today said the Delhi administration should immediately file an appeal in Supreme Court against the Delhi High Court verdict quashing the government guidelines on nursery admissions.
AAP leader and former education minister of Delhi Manish Sisodia said that although his party respected the verdict given by the court, it did not agree with it.
"It is important to have clarity on the issue. The Delhi administration should immediately file an appeal in the Supreme Court against the Delhi High Court verdict quashing the government guidelines on nursery admissions, without any delay.
"Leaving it to schools to frame their own guidelines will only promote arbitrariness of private managements and will lead to admissions in an opaque manner. This will help the school management to justify the exorbitant fees they charge," Sisodia told reporters here.

The point system of nursery admissions for private unaided schools was today quashed by the Delhi High Court which said the government's decision was "neither procedurally proper nor rational".
He said AAP was committed to giving quality education to everyone and if it came to power it would formulate proper guidelines for nursery school admission process.
"Every child born in Delhi should have access to school education and there should be clear and impartial guidelines for nursery admissions.
"Some parameters like the neighbourhood policy and other related topics were certainly debatable and require improvement, but scrapping of entire guidelines will not benefit parents and students," Sisodia said.
