It is general perception amongst middle class that EWS admission in unaided private schools are against the interest of fee paying middle class but really it is myth not reality. Inclusion of all class of society is not only beneficial for the social development of children but this inclusion is very helpful to protect from pinching pockets by unaided private school.various RTI information suggest that this EWS has reduced the monopoly of school lobby which was completely unregulated. In the name of privacy they were involved in mismanagement and parents had no option and ultimately they becomes victim of the greedy school management which was involved in all the non permissible activities like profiteering and fraud with the fee paying parents. submission of returns under rule 180 and audit of return remained a formality and DOE never cared about the interest of common citizen of the city.Delhi school education act and rules were regularly misinterpreted for the benefit of the greed of school lobby.
In a recent RTI reply it has been revealed that a large no of schools had their entry level class pre school or pre primary but in the annual return they mentions class I as entry level class. It means that all the fee collected from the students in pre school or pre primary remains unaccounted. All the expenditures are shown in main school and entire fee from nursery and KG remains with the greedy school management which is undoubtedly black money. This amount goes up to several crores in some of the schools and when we compare it with actual loss of revenue due to EWS students then we can see that this amount is several fold of the amount spent for EWS students. on the basis of this disclosure i have raised a complaint to Justice Anil Dev Singh committee and the committee written a letter to director education while asking details of enrollment and total amount which school collected from these students. This information has been generated in the response of directorate notification in compliance of order passed by Hon'ble delhi high court in a social jurist PIL for EWS students only.
some media reports suggests about decrease of seats for general category students which is another myth as the notification for EWS controls the reduction of seats at entry level class and as a result seats has been increased in several schools. Prior to EWS no one had idea about actual number of seats and literally there was no regulation for fixation of seats at entry level class and even directorate of education had no law to do so. As a result there was a gap between declared seats and actual number of seats in the school. Undeclared seats were considered as management seats and it was sold for capitation and the same was not available for general category students. RTI information suggests that the schools reduced seats at entry level class just after ganguly committee recommendation in the year 2007. A large no of admission was undeclared in nursery and the same was reflecting in KG where ganuguly committee recommendation was not applicable
All the above mentioned details are based on RTI information we have obtained from the directorate of Education Govt. of NCT of Delhi.
