State directs preschools to not admit kids younger than 3 years
The state government, on May 15, introduced the Gujarat State Pre-Primary Education Policy, 2023, to regulate the unorganized preschool sector. The policy, along the lines of the National Early Childhood Care and Education (ECCE) Policy and the National Education Policy, stipulates that the children in such facilities should be at least three years old as of June 1 of that academic year. Some parent bodies welcomed the move even as preschool operators were cautious of its implications. A top education department official said that the sector is currently unorganized. “Majority of these schools function from residential premises, have no overarching regulatory framework related to the course, fees charged, and quality of education. There are no definite numbers, too, of such facilities operating. The policy will help address several such issues,” said the official. Swati Popat-Vats, president of the Early Childhood Association, said that the association welcomes the regulations by the state government. “If these regulations help bring about quality, they must be welcomed. There are issues related to age, classes, registration process, etc., for which we will seek a meeting with the government,” she said.
