The Delhi High Court, has asked all unaided minority schools in the capital to implement the Ganguly committee's recommendations. A bench comprising Chief Justice M K Sharma and Justice Sanjeev Khanna stayed the previous order, which gave unaided minority schools the liberty to not follow the recommendations of the Ganguly committee. Justice B D Ahmed, had on Feb 8 ruled that the unaided minority schools did not come under the purview of the Ganguly committee. The committee was appointed by the Delhi High Court and is headed by the 'Central Board of Secondary Education' (CBSE) chairman Ashok Ganguly.
In its reports submitted to the court, the committee had suggested various measures to change the method of admissions to nursery classes. Admission parameters proposed by the Ganguly committee included the neighbourhood policy, the sibling factor, educational qualification of parents, and alumni status. But after a hue and cry by schools and parents, the committee reduced points for siblings, educational qualification of parents and alumni status and increased points on neighbourhood policy.
The revised formula, which was submitted by the committee to the court in July, also gave preference to the poor sections of the society, which not many schools are following. The next date for the hearing is Dec 3.(IANS)
