New Delhi: The Delhi government on Monday pulled up four private schools in the city for not following guidelines on nursery admissions.

"Acting on the complaints of parents, the education department has asked four private schools for a reply into the alleged irregularities in the nursery admission process," an education department official said.

Admission process for nursery classes started on December 15 across Delhi and since then the education department has received more than a hundred complaints against various schools.

The major complaints of parents are about schools not giving admission to students from economically weaker sections, and charging more money for the prospectus than the allowed amount of Rs.25.

The department on Saturday warned 19 schools after receiving complaints against them. -
