Delivering a master stroke that will provide big relief to the parents seeking admission for their kids in private schools and will have long-term bearing on Delhi's education system, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Government on Wednesday ordered scrapping of all admission quotas from private schools, except 25 percent reservation for children belonging to the Extremely Weaker Section (EWS).

Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said, "There will be only 25 percent quota for EWS students, while the schools will have to be made available 75 percent of seats to general public." Denouncing private schools 'unreasonable admission criteria', Kejriwal said, "We have scrapped 62 criteria of admission process in private schools that were unreasonable and discriminatory." "The Delhi High Court has directed that the criteria and admission process has to be fair transparent and reasonable," said Kejriwal.
