Nursery admissions: The trials and tribulations of Delhi's young parents
The seemingly endless ordeal of getting a nursery school seat is giving harassed parents in the national capital a ringside view of how private schools have turned into money-spinning machines.
One only needs to mention the words ‘nursery admission’ to a parent, and they open up the floodgates of stories of disappointment and exploitation. Having fallen through a lopsided government-approved points-system, many parents are being forced to opt for management seats that cost Rs 1 lakh and more.
Parents are at their wits’ end, having drawn a blank after spending long hours standing in queues of more schools than they can remember, hoping for admission for their three-year-olds.
Hirendra Kumar, an assistant manager at a Gurgoan-based software company, and his wife Tanushri Kaul, a research scientist at the International Centre for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology, have gone through the grind of applying to 20 schools for a seat for their three-and-a-half year old daughter, Ananya, and are still without a seat. Their experience provides a glimpse of how an unjust and exploitative system has parents up against the wall.
“There is only one way to get into a good school now. And that is the 10 percent management quota, which is supposed to be allotted fairly and to deserving candidates. But in reality, it is nothing but a money-making opportunity. I’ve been told (with reference to a leading private school in New Delhi) that if I give Rs 5 lakh, I can get my child in,” says Tanushri.
And paying Rs 5 lakh, says Hirendra, is not an option for them unless they take a loan. “I am trying to get a personal loan and so is my wife. We are already paying for a home loan. For people like us, it is extremely difficult to survive under such circumstances.”
“On one hand, we support Anna Hazare ,” says Tanushri. “On the other hand, we have to give money to get a seat for our child. I am having to go against my own values,” says a distraught Tanushri.
