Ensure admission of EWS children in pvt schools: Delhi HC tells AAP govt
The Delhi High Court on Friday directed the Arvind Kejriwal-led Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government to make sure that children who belong to economically weaker sections (EWS) of the society are given admission in private unaided schools. It said that they should not be treated in an unwelcoming manner for any reason, including that of suspicion of credentials. The counsel for the children contended that the schools blatantly denied admission to EWS children. Justice Chandra Dhari Singh said: “One can just imagine the humiliation faced by the young children and their parents. This court, as a custodian of the Constitution, cannot remain a mute spectator to the outright bulldozing of human rights by those in the noble service of imparting education, thus bringing a bad name and repute to the same.”
The judgment which runs into 85 pages begins with a Sanskrit quote that says, “charity by way of giving food to a person is a great deed, but giving education is even better since the satisfaction from consuming food is momentary, but that from education lasts a lifetime”.
