[Resolved]  School- St Anthony , Agra — Denial of admission

Dear Sir,

I had applied for admission for my daughter in LKG in St Anthony, Agra. Interview of child and parents were conducted. However, admission was not granted.

When I tried to ask reasons for not granting the admission, the principal didn't allowed me to meet her. No one was ready to clarify the reasons.

May be, my daughter is not good enough or we ourselves are good enough, but the reason should be conveyed. In fact, I satisfy most of the yardsticks which such schools are supposed to adhere, viz., single girl child, defence personnels, parents' education, distance from school, etc.

Myself is a Class I gazetted Defence official and as far as educational background is concerned, I might be the amongst the very few having best educational qualifications(out of all those whose children have been granted the admission). I have only single girl child.

Despite all these, the fact is that my daughter has not been granted admission to this school?.I want to know WHY. There may be many others like me who found themselves in such situations but with no answers. WHY? Why is the admission process not transparent?

Would any body address these issues? OR let these schools prosper their "BUSINESS"

Hope we take a step forward.

i am agree for that issue it happend to all of parentthe cause of that only money
I am an old boy (a very old one and now living in a different part of the world) from one of these renowned convent schools of Agra. You are right, the school should lay out and publish the rules of admission & rejection to not only the parents of all prospective students, but also to the public at large. Internet is a very good medium to communicate how transparent a school is, but I find it amazing that although these schools claim to be in tune with time, they have almost non-existent or partially updated websites. They should maintain websites on public domain to provide public information about the process of admissions and other operational issues of schools and thereby avoid all sorts of ambiguities that may arise from time to time.
it can happend only st Anthony agra
SIR,

Despite being class 1 officer in defense services you have denied the admission to your daughter with no valid reason.

What to talk a common man like me who was also denied the admission to my daughter in class LKG in 2015.
It is true that there is no transparent admission procedure.

हाँ यह सच है मैं आगरा से हूँ और मेरी बेटी का व मेरा भी साक्षात्कार हुआ जिसमें मुझे लगा की मेरी बेटी ने बहुत अच्छा perform किया but जब मुझसे मेरा प्रोफेशन पूंछा गया और मेरा उत्तर था कि मैं भी एक जूनियर स्कूल का मैनेजर हूँ तो मेरी बेटी को यह कह कर दरकिनार कर दिया गया कि अपने पापा के स्कूल में ही पढ़ो, इसका क्या मतलब है क्या किसी का प्रोफेशन बच्चे के addmission से ताल्लुक रख सकता है यदि हाँ तो रिक्शे वाले का बच्चा रिक्शावाला ही बनेगा उसको शिक्षा का अधिकार नही है क्या औऱ फिर हम दोनों पैरेंट well educated है अपना स्कूल चला रहे है तो फैमिली background तो आप समझ ही सकते है, शायद वहां उनको डोनेशन की तलाश थी तो Q ये test पर interview का ढोंग रचते है, कोई मदद करेगा ...?
क्या इन schools में पारदर्शिता आ पाएगी या होनहार बच्चा फिर इन्ही सब कारणों की वजह से उच्च शिक्षा से वंचित रह जायेगा ...
