Delhi govt schools to admit students without TC

Private schools are harassing children and parents with hiked fees, said Sisodia 

The Delhi government on July 15, 2021, announced its decision regarding the admission of students without a transfer certificate. According to the official tweet posted by the Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia, “Students of private schools willing to switch to government schools would not be denied permission for failing to produce TC (transfer certificate), adding that the Directorate of Education (DoE) will take care of that requirement.”

 While addressing a press conference, Deputy CM claimed that many students are not being able to join Delhi government schools as private schools are “refusing to issue TCs”. “I want to appeal to the parents who are willing to shift their students from private to government schools that they should not worry about obtaining TC. The quality of education in government schools has vastly improved and many parents want to get their children admitted to these schools. However, in many cases, private schools are not issuing TCs. But a decision has been taken no such student will be denied admission for not having a TC. That aspect will be taken care of by the Directorate of Education,” Sisodia said.

He also talked about the harassment students are facing in the private schools in the name of hiked fees. The Delhi government is trying its best to oppose such moves on the part of the private institutions, he added.

“The COVID-19 pandemic has severely hit the income of people. Parents of children studying in private schools are struggling to pay fees. We tried to ensure that the schools only charge minimum tuition fees and that fees under other heads are not charged. But the schools moved the court and obtained some relief,” Sisodia said.
