The Saleh Mohalla Education Committee has worked with a lot of enthusiasm and dedication over these last few months to ensure that parents and children opt for admission in standard schools.

A total of 49 admissions were done in standard schools and Montessori’s this year, the most by any Mohalla. Out of these 15 were admitted to Montessori-only schools, which we consider sub-standard simply for the purpose of monitoring these children so that they are admitted to standard schools later.

School-wise breakdown of these 49 children is as follows:

Most of the children NOT GOING TO SCHOOL are at the borderline of the admission age and parents prefer to wait a little longer before admitting them in schools. These children will, Inshallah, be admitted to standard schools next year.

In the lower age groups, children who appear in SUB-STANDARD SCHOOLS category are those who are going to Montessori-only schools which, as explained above, are classified as sub-standard.

There is still a lot of work ahead. As per the Raza of Shazada Abbas Bhaisaheb Fakhruddin Saheb (DM) we are focusing on HSC students for the first time. Along with that we shall also start identifying children who have not done well academically. Appox. 75% of the results of children receiving Financial Assistance have been collected.

Finally, we will also be working during the latter part of the year to update the database. This includes updating information on all school going children, such as current class, change in school. This exercise also includes identifying children who have left the Mohalla and new births.
