The Delhi government has issued strict directives to prevent the admission of illegal Bangladeshi migrants into schools, emphasising thorough verification of documents during the admission process. The Directorate of Education (DoE) has instructed all government, government-aided, and private recognized schools to ensure stringent checks on documentation for student admissions.
The directive aims to enhance transparency and take strict measures against the illegal admission of children of unauthorised Bangladeshi immigrants. According to a circular, "Schools must ensure strict admission procedures, verification of students' documentation to prevent illegal Bangladeshi migrants' enrollment, implementation of greater scrutiny to detect and prevent unauthorised admissions of illegal Bangladeshi migrants, in particular."
It also directed all heads of government, government-aided and unaided recognised private schools to refer cases to the local police and the revenue authority in case of doubts. Additionally, District/Zone Deputy Directors of Education (DDEs) have been asked to submit weekly reports of such cases to the DoE’s school branch headquarters. This measure underscores the government’s focus on ensuring accountability and preventing misuse of the school admission system.
