Demand for admissions increases in KPS after govt introduces Skill Development for students
Mysuru: As the govt has introduced skill development as part of education in schools, to encourage children to learn skills of their interest, Karnataka Public Schools are attracting more students. Demand from parents seeking admissions to these schools doubled this year. The department of school education and literacy resorted to a lottery system for the selection of students due to a huge demand from parents for school admission. The department is facing a tough challenge to ensure seats for all the students who apply for admission. Though the intake is only 35 for kindergarten, the department received anywhere between 100 and 300 applications every year in the twin districts of Mysuru and Chamarajanagar. All the KPS sought permission to increase the intake of students, but the state govt did not respond, restricting their admissions to only 35 students for kindergarten. Even before the closure of the academic year, parents reached out to the management, seeking seats for their wards. As the govt also gave importance to the promotion of admissions in Adarsha and other model residential schools to promote education in rural areas, the state govt restricted the admissions in KPS schools to only 35.

The statre government's Adarsha Schools also attracted students on the same lines as KPS as the medium of instruction was also English. The education department provides admission to Adarsha schools from class six, after an entrance exam. In contrast, the education department selects students for KPS through a lottery system if the schools receive excess applications. It provides admissions to 30 students in Adarsha Schools and 40 students in Karnataka Public Schools in each section. As the state govt introduced skill development as part of education in such schools to encourage children to learn skills of their interest at an early age, starting from class 8, the demand from parents seeking admissions to such schools is increasing every year, predominantly from rural areas, as these schools are located in densely populated hobli headquarters of the twin districts. "With the introduction of skill development courses under the National Skill Qualified Frame, the department of education and literacy introduced skill development courses from class 8. Students are learning the skills successfully. This has prompted parents to encourage students to learn in KPS schools in the twin districts," said Mahesh, a parent of KPS school student of Sosale in T Narasipura taluk. Speaking to TOI, Chamarajanagar DDPI, Ramachandraraje Urs said as parents seeking admissions to KPS schools increase every year, even though the intake is restricted to only 35 students for LKG and UKG. The department has adopted a lottery system for selection of only 35 students. Each KPS school received 100 to 200 applications and it has become a challenge for the department. The department has also written to the state, to upgrade other schools as KPS schools in the district, he said.

Kerala MLA breaks open 'attached house' to help family take essential belongings
A Kerala legislator on Saturday broke open a house, allegedly attached by a private financial firm, to help a family take essential documents and medicine in Karunagappally in this southern district. The firm attached the two-storied house and locked the building on May 30 when its owners were away. The action was taken as they allegedly failed to repay the amount which they had taken from the bank some years ago. Karunagappally MLA C R Mahesh on Saturday broke its lock open using a hammer and chisel in the presence of its owners and mediapersons. Later, he asked the family members, including women, to get inside the house and take essential articles, including clothes, medicines and necessary documents like certificates and Aadhaar cards. "The family was not even informed by the private financial firm that they were attaching the house. All their essential articles, including ration card and Aadhaar card, were inside the building," Mahesh told reporters here. He said a woman member of the family was suffering from some serious eye-related issues and even her medicine was inside the house. Stating that attaching the house without informing its owners was an act of "cruelty", he said the financial firm management should have done it after ensuring that they were shifted to a safer place. The local authorities also should have been informed about it, Mahesh said. After the family came out after taking their essential articles and medicine, the MLA locked up the house as it was done by the financial institution. The private firm authorities were yet to react on the matter.
