Why Management Quota Scheme in Nursery Admission

These days in school admissions, management quota system is available. It was a trend earlier that the admission of the child was on the basis of merit and the potential of the child. But presently, if a child does not get admission in a school, then he/she can get admission on the basis of management quota scheme. As per this scheme, the parents have to give some donation. After receiving the donation, the school grants admission to the child. At present, management quota scheme is applicable in nursery admission. Earlier the system was there in higher education. But the present trend is that Management Quota Scheme is applicable in nursery admission as well.
Efforts need to be made to implement this scheme and to complement with other measures. These measures will make the scheme more effective. Higher education has now been privatized. First the parents have to go through a long selection procedure. After that if the child does not get admission, then the parents have to pay a donation of Rs. 50,000 to 5 lakhs. Paying this amount of donation is very difficult for most parents.
The Management Quota Scheme has been adopted by almost all private schools in Delhi and other metro cities. The management quota scheme is also applicable when certain seats are reserved for the board members’ children (director, founder, staff etc). Earlier it was not there but now management quota scheme is applicable in nursery admission.
