Gurgaon: Private schools in the state have objected to the credibility of the income certificate in what appeared to be an offer to record revenues under the rule of 134a education rules Haryana, providing free education at 10% of seats for students from the BPL category and economically weaker parts (EWS).
The owner and school association allege that many parents submit income certificates made to get their environment under the EWS category.
“On many occasions, schools have found that parents who have cars and rent apartments in rich areas submit false income certificates to make their children accepted in private schools.
Every year, we submit a lot of complaints about such cases .
So, we do not see the point of giving admission and free education based mechanisms are disabled and decorated with malpractice, “said Yashpal Yadav, President of the State, Haryana Sikshan Sbanathan.
Based on these allegations, the school has also requested the Ministry of Education to verify students who qualified.
According to the Ministry of Education, it has no authority to verify the income certificate issued by the District Administration.
“Certificate verification is not below our authority.
All parents submit a written certificate and income issued by the Tehsil Office.
If anyone has a problem, they can take it with the department concerned and the officials,” said an official of the Ministry of Education.
Schools, however, accuse the department of washing their hands from problems and confirms that the responsibilities of verification certificates should not be on them.
“This is a government scheme.
Adding the income verification load to us is unfair.
If we do that, we will be accused of finding a reason not to give acceptance,” said a private school principal.
Reception under the EWS category has fallen in total since the pandemic begins.
After delaying it because of last year’s lock, the government dragged his feet until October this year.
After several complaints about delay, finally issued a notification, directed the school to recognize the EWS students.
In the first week of December, the relevant test was carried out, and 40,000 students were found to be eligible.
But private schools do not want to admit, saying their finances have been hit by a pandemic and most sessions are gone.
