Earlier, the KVS had put on hold all discretionary quotas, including the MP quota, for admissions to Kendrya Vidyalaya schools across the country, following a review.
The Education Ministry has scrapped quotas in several categories including that of Members of Parliament (MPs) and District Magistrates (DMs) for admissions to Kendriya Vidyalayas, according to the latest circular issued by the Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan (KVS).
Earlier, the KVS had put on hold all discretionary quotas, including the MP quota, for admissions to KV schools across the country, following a review.
"In a revolutionary step to streamline admissions in Kendriya Vidyalas and improve the quality of education, it has been decided to discontinue several discretionary quotas which were beyond the approved students' strength," government sources told ANI.
Recently, a review of KVS functioning was carried out by the Education Minister and Chairman KVS Dharmendra Pradhan in which it was observed that these quotas crowd the classrooms, adversely affecting the Pupil-Teacher ratio and the quality of teaching-learning, sources said.
