After some private schools in the national Capital claimed to have vacant seats in the last academic session, the Delhi Government has invited applications for admissions in these entry-level classes.
According to a Directorate of Education (DoE) official, some private schools have claimed that they could not get admission under open seats as per their declared strength in entry level classes (Nursery, KG and Class 1 ) in the 2021-22 academic session.
“Applications are being invited for admission against these vacant seats in such private schools. These remaining seats have been carried forward to higher classes and applications for admission are being invited accordingly.
The applicants will have to apply to the school directly latest by June 2,” said the official The process for nursery admissions in over 1,700 schools for 2021-22 academic session began in February last year, two months later than the usual schedule.
Delhi government officials had earlier said that a proposal to scrap nursery admissions was being considered as the schools were closed for several months due to COVID-19.
But school principals had opposed this idea and the plan was ultimately junked. Nursery admissions for the next academic session were held as per the timeline.
