Delhi govt: On Saturday, Lok sabha member Parvesh Verma demanded that the AAP government roll back the August 5 circular which the leader of BJP says aims to cancel the admission of children from the Economically weaker sections (EWS) categories in unassisted schools over the last 7 years.
Because according to the circular published by the Education Department, admissions taken after the years 206-17 in the offline mode under 2 categories will not be recognised by the government of Delhi.

The Lok Sabha MP was attending a meeting and organised the Co-ordination Committee of Public Schools (CCPS) wherein he raised the issue and discussed the problem with parents. “The Delhi government has issued this circular in 2022 with the goal of cancelling the admissions taken by children in the past seven years, thereby, hurting their education and pushing their future into disarray,” the CCPS said in a statement.
“Till now in several private schools in the national capital, if seats in the classes above the second grade remained empty in schools then the students were allowed to take offline admission in them,” it added.
He also slammed the AAP government and asked to ensure the education of such children.

The Delhi government had asked schools to display the number of vacant seats in each class on notice boards, a process which was being followed by the private schools. These vacancies also used to get verified by concerned officials from the Delhi government,” he added.
“The Delhi government should roll back the circular immediately. It keeps on releasing big advertisements in which it keeps on appreciating itself but does not seem concerned at all about the education of children. With steps like these the dream of parents to get their children educated in public schools will remain a dream and never get fulfilled,” Verma said.
He also alleged that the condition in schools run by the Delhi government is pathetic and except 30-40 of them “there are not even basic amenities available in the other schools”.
