Delhi teachers urge education minister to start Class 6, 11 admission process, worry about delay

The Government Schools Teachers Association, Delhi, has written to education minister Ashish Sood, urging him to commence the admission process for Class 6 and 11 in Schools of Specialized Excellence (SOSE).

Worrying about administrative delay, the teacher’s association demanded the education minister to expedite the online admission process for Class 11 as the results for Class 10 have been declared and the physical verification also have been conducted.

“It would be prudent to ensure that admissions are completed in time for academic sessions of Class 11 to begin smoothly once schools reopen. Similarly, launching admissions for Class 6 now would help onboard new students at the beginning of the academic cycle itself,” the association said.

Furthermore, they also urged that the admission in all three streams such as Science, Commerce and Humanities should also begin simultaneously to provide students with a “fair and timely choice of academic direction,” it said.

Backing their request, the association also informed the minister through the official letter that the majority of the SOSE schools, that come under the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE), are already equipped with proper infrastructure, sanctioned staff, and operational facilities.

“We extend our heartfelt gratitude to your esteemed office for the progressive decision of dissolving the erstwhile Delhi Board of Secondary Education (DBSE) and bringing all associated Schools of Specialized Excellence (SOSE) directly under the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE),” it added.
