NOIDA: The basic education department of Gautam Budh Nagar has asked all schools to verify the credentials of parents before admitting their children under the economic backward section (EWS) category. We will bring out this year’s quota for reserving seats for EWS category for all schools by February-end,” said basic siksha adhikari, Bal Mukund Prasad. However, the department will intimate schools about the exact percentage of free seats to be reserved for children belonging to EWS for the next academic year by the end of February. We, however, will make sure that the facility is misused in the district and the schools will have to ensure the same too,” he added. Every year, schools are asked to keep 10% to 20% seats for such children.“The income proof of parents, their address — which should be within a kilometre of the school — etc should be meticulously verified so that this facility is not misused..
