Boys Secondary School, Libaspur, Delhi in the academic year 2009-10. Since, the said school is only upto class X, these students are seeking admission in other schools in class XI nearby their residences but none of the schools are granting them admission on the pretext that there was no seat available.

All these students have also approached the DDE on 9/07/2010 for grant of admission in any Govt. School nearby their residences but unfortunately, the Deputy Director of Education has also not done anything in this matter. Now, the students have approached us for help. It is submitted that all these students are entitled to admission in class XI in any Govt. School nearby their residences.

It is, therefore, requested that necessary action may be taken in this matter ensuring admission of all the students in class XI in any Govt. School nearby there residences.
