For Girl’S Admission Parents Staging Dharna Before School For 3 Months

[JANASENA]

In order to get the “right to education” for their girl, a couple has resorted to the peaceful method of staging a dharna in front of a school for the past three months. The school has refused to grant admission to the four-year-old girl.

In 1886, St. Mary Convent School had been established in the name of God to provide education to girls keeping in mind values like social justice, secular education and desire for truth. Affiliated to ICSE this school in Allahabad imparts education to girls from Nursery to intermediate level (+2).

The nursery division of the school is known as St. Mary Nursery School. In April, forms for admission in LKG were issued after which 300 kids were granted admission. There was no written entrance test, but the school selected around 300 girls from around 5000 applicants according to the parameters set by the school.

The daughter of Raees Ahmad, a resident of Kareli, could not get admission. The father met the school principal, Sister Shweta, and requested her to admit his daughter. When this fell on deaf ears, Raees Ahmad questioned the transparency of the admission process through RTI. The query was not answered because the institution does not fall within the jurisdiction of RTI.

When he could not find any other way, then Raees Ahmad started coming to school daily with his wife and daughter. He would sit in front of the school gate and teach his daughter. This incredible protest has been going on for the past three months but it fails to have any effect on the school. According to Raees, after the first list, he met the principal and went back satisfied that there must be some drawback in his daughter due to which she failed to get admission. However, a few days later another list was taken out and many other applicants admission, but not his daughter. Raees states that had he given donation, his daughter would have easily got admission there.

Iamin portal from Allahabad, called up the school administration to know their view about this amazing demonstration of the couple, who cover a distance of 10 kilometer daily and teach the girl at the school gate. The person who received the call acknowledged the entire incident but then refused to put the call through to the principal. On being called the second time, the receiver refused that any such incident was taking place in front of the school.
