Inspection at school that took three-year advance bookings

After Mid Day reported the admission scam to junior KG for 2015-16 session at Sacred Heart School, Kalyan, the education officer has taken matters in his hands

On October 5, MiD DAY broke the story on how Sacred Heart School, Varap Gaon on the Kalyan-Murbad Road had opened advance bookings for admissions to junior KG for the 2015-16 session. Following the report, A G Shinde, education officer Kalyan rural block, has said that he has not received any complaint from parents. "It is shocking to know that the school is conducting admission procedures three years in advance. The infants are not even eligible for it. We will carry out an inspection," says Shinde.u00a0
