Admission overhaul soon
The Central government has finalised a bill that proposes to fix the minimum age for admission to preschool at 3 years and 10 months.
The draft Right To Education Bill, which will be put up for cabinet consideration in May would also protect parents and children from screening by schools and prescribes huge fines in case of violation.
Prepared by the Human Resource Development Ministry, the bW says the minimum admission age for Class I should be 5 years and 10 months before the beginning of the academic year This implies the admission age for preschool would be 3 years and 10 months.
Last year, the Delhi government fixed 3 years as age for admission to pre-school, 4 for pre-primary and 5 for Class I.
The bill, which aims at implementing the Right to Education guaranteed by the Constitution in 2002, shields parents from arbitrary admission rules of private schools. If found subjecting parents or children to screening, the school will be fined Rs 25,000. A repeat offence will invite a fine of up to Rs 50,000. If a school is found guilty of taking capitation fee, the fine will be up to ten times of what it charged.
