Nursery Admissions: Struggle of EWS category begins

Kamaal Hassan belongs to EWS category and lives in Nizamuddin Basti in south Delhi. He never had the privilege to go to school but wants a better future for his son. So, after learning about the nursery admissions under the EWS category, he went to the school with his son only to find the disappointment as the school told that the schedule for admissions under the EWS category has not been declared yet.Hasan wants his so get admitted under the 25% quota reserved by the government for the Economically Weaker Section/ Disadvantaged (EWS/DG) category. There are approx. 31,000 seats in 1700 schools for the nursery class under the EWS category. “I was told that nursery admissions will begin on Wednesday so I visited the schools. But the school authorities told me that admissions under the EWS quota will be conducted by the government online. Hearing this, I asked someone to go to a cyber cafe to fill my son’s form. I am not educated so I don’t understand anything,” said Hassan. Hasan was not the only one struggling; the same case was with Hemant Negi, who was trying to read the notice written in English at Amity International School. “I had no idea about this thing. I will now have to find someone in my locality who can help me fill the form online. Moreover, how will I get to know that the admission under this category has started?,” said Negi, who lives at Lado Sarai village.Social activists, who have been helping in the EWS admissions said that the different schedules for admissions for EWS and general category are causing lot of chaos. “Even last year, the process dragged on till February 15 (last date for application). Till date, not more than approximately 20,000 seats could be filled under EWS of the available 31,000. The question is, it has to be a computerised application and a draw. Then, if admissions for general category can start now, why can’t it be started simultaneously for the deprived sections also?” said Ekramul Haque, national convener, Mission Taaleem
