New Delhi: While the Directorate of Education (DoE), Delhi has directed schools to forgo 62 discriminatory criteria, city based Salwan Montessori School has another strict criteria for considering kids for nursery admission.  'Parents, who have more than two children including whose admission is sought, need not apply,' reads one of the criteria for nursery and pre-primary admission in the school. For pre-primary, kids must 4+ years as on 31 March 2018 and for nursery admission the child must be 3+ years. 

The school was in news last year as well for the same reason. However, undeterred by the criticism the school has again hit the headlines for this obvious reason. 'It is our way of motivating people to have less children. We are ready to take all the media gagging for the sake of our country. We are not afraid. Criticising those who take bold initiatives has become a norm these days,' said Chairperson of the Salwan Group to leading daily DNA.

In response to this, Atishi Marlena, advisor to Delhi deputy chief minister and education minister Manish Sisodia has said to the leading daily, 'Strict action will be taken against any school for setting such unjustified criteria.'

Atishi Marlena took to twitter, Delhi government's initiative for checking financial malpractices and fee hikes in 1700 private schools functioning in the city.
 

Nursery admission has begun in Delhi and application submission will continue till 17 January 2018 for the 75% seats, in 1700 schools in the city. The rest 25% seats reserved for economically weaker section or disadvantaged category (EWS/ DG) category will be filled centrally by the government.
