Police
action on school admission malpractices The committees met this week to inquire into allegations about improper Year 1 admissions to schools. The committee mainly looks into the bogus documents submitted by parents. "If any parents were deemed to have submitted bogus documents, the committee is empowered by the Education Department circular to lodge a complaint against the concerned parents with the Police", the official said. The bogus documents relate mainly to false addresses and false certificates of grama niladharis. The names of children who had gained admission on bogus documents will be deleted from the provisional list and replaced by those of children on the waiting list. The normal procedure allows a child who has not been selected to a school, to make an appeal to the Provincial Director of Education, while the children whose names have been deleted would not be allowed to apply to the Provincial Director to gain admission to another school. " Normally parents of children whose names have been deleted get them admitted to private or international schools, which are not under the ministry's control," Schools Director of the Education Ministry S. Geeganage told The Sunday Times. |
