| The Delhi high court has made it clear, nursery admissions will begin at age four in all schools in Delhi, whether private or government.
The court today dismissed a petition by 400 private schools asking for a review of the age limit for admissions to nursery and Class one.
The schools had cited the Delhi School Education Act to argue that a child should not be admitted to class one before the age of six.
The schools also asked for more freedom to admit children.
According to the court order, pre-primary education should be restricted to one year. And a child should be four years of age at the time of admission to nursery and five years for Class I enrollment.
The government had asked the schools to devise their own criteria and start admissions from November 30.
Court said that it favoured more freedom for schools in admissions, but insisted there will be no interviews for children and that three years is the minimum age. Schools have also been told to consider children from all backgrounds.
The government will also set up a monitoring cell in every district to look into admission complaints.
Further, it has asked schools to get their admission criteria approved by the managing committee of the school with the consent of Director of Education.
