NEW DELHI: The nursery admission confusion has advanced a
year.
It is now KG confusion and the worst sufferers are 4-year-olds who missed out on nursery admission last year. With schools forced to take double the usual number of students in nursery last year, many of them have either opted not to make any KG admissions this year or to limit it to less than 10%. There is no space for the hapless kids who bore the brunt of the last year's age confusion when both three and four-year-old's were admitted in nursery.
"My son could not get admission in the school of our choice last year because school authorities found him to be underage. So he did his nursery from a play school. But now I am not clear if I should send him to nursery or KG," said Nisha Chaudhry, whose son is aged 4+ now. The minimum age required for nursery this year is 3+ while for KG, it's 4+ with no upper limit given by the government.
"If parents of four-year-olds want to send their child to nursery, the school cannot say no to them. The vacancies for KG are usually negligible and depend on withdrawal of students later in the session. So it's probably easier for four-year-olds to get admission in nursery," said Vinay Kumar, principal, DPS, Vasant Kunj. The school is expected to open admissions for nursery and KG from the second week of December. There are around 120 seats in nursery and only 15 seats in KG. Among the schools which have not opened KG admissions at all are Tagore International, Bal Bharati, Modern School and Amity International.
Gyan Bharti, Saket, which has around 150 seats for nursery will invite applications for only 15 seats in KG. Shri Ram School has 112 seats in nursery and KG each. "But all seats for the general category will be full in KG. We will only have seats for EWS in KG. All the rest of the seats will be filled up by our own nursery students," said principal, Manika Sharma. Tagore International School, Vasant Vihar, and Bal Bharti School, Ganga Ram Hospital Marg, will not have KG admissions at all as of now.
The seats in KG have been going down with a higher number of nursery admissions. Last year, some schools had even opened extra sections for nursery to increase seats. This affects the seats in KG. "The number of KG seats will be fewer this time. But there are a few schools which don't have nursery, but start with KG. Those who were left out last year can get a seat there if parents don't go only for schools of their choice," said S L Jain, chairperson, National Progressive Schools' Conference (NPSC). Mother's International School at Aurobindo Marg and Meera Model School in Janakpuri are two such schools, which start with KG and not nursery.
