Study lists top excuses of schools to deny admission to children under EWS quota

Delhi | Monday | 21st May, 2018

Summary:

After the draw of lots, the schools cite less admission under general category to put EWS students in the waiting list. “What we have seen is if there are less number of students admitted under general category (against the total number of seats available), the schools reduce EWS seats. The other problem cited in the study is schools not admitting students despite having seats. Stating that there is a case in the High Court, schools often do not provide free books and uniform, said the study. According to rules, schools are required to declare vacant seats with the Directorate of Education (DoE) before the admission process begins..
