The state government is contemplating introducing a centralised admission system, especially at the lower primary and PU college levels, to eliminate the donation menace and help parents escape the ordeal they undergo in getting their children enrolled in private schools and colleges of Bangalore city. The government is preparing the ground to introduce the system from 2012-13.
Disclosing this to mediapersons, primary and secondary education minister Vishweshwar Hegde Kageri said, “Actually we had planned to introduce this centralised admission system from the coming academic year itself. I have sent an official delegation to other cities to study the admissions system there. We have already held meetings with private schools and college managements. But we could not introduce this system due to some reasons. We will now take this issue forward.”
“We will first initiate a public debate, involving academicians, school managements, members of the public and others, on evolving a centralised system on admission process, fee structure and other issues concerning school admissions. We will collect opinions from all sections of the society before going forward. But it is very essential that we evolve a centralised admissions system like Common Entrance Test (CET) for professional courses,” said Kageri.
“I know that school admissions is a huge problem in Bangalore city. A lot of people come to me, seeking recommendation letters for getting their students enrolled in prestigious schools,” he said.
“Private institutions are minting money. We usually get oral complaints on the donation menace and people are not coming forward to file written complaints because they fear that their children may not get seats. We have to address the other complaints like donation menace and the problem in getting seats in schools,” he explained.
