Since the day I am born, my Papa and Mama leave no stone unturned to take my care. Though poor, they provide me with everything best. When I was a year old, my papa became eager to admit me in the best school despite his meagre income. So he arranged a tutor who taught me English/Urdu names of things around.
When it was time to hold a spoon, I held a pencil and would learn rhymes. Now I am 3+ but I am DENIED ADMISSION by the schools in nursery on the pretext that I did not do well in the interaction session despite the fact that I recited fluently rhymes and did write everything I was asked to. Why this discrimination? Is it simply because my parents are not doctors/engineers/professors or rich enough to pay capitation fee in the name of donation?
I appeared in tests of two/three schools but told NOT QUALIFIED though I did well. Perhaps they simply completed formality because my parents are ordinary citizens of a great democracy. I am told that in our country where International Day for Girl Child is celebrated with pomp and show, girl child has special right to education. But here everything is reverse. Do not you think that denial to my right to get admission in the best school will affect my psyche? Why my right to take admission in the school is snatched? I am now a disqualified 3+ years old baby with teary-eyes. May I know what my fault/deficiency is? Should I remain illiterate and curse this dirty world for all times to come?
Governor Sahib: As head of our state, this tender aged baby has certain queries:
May I know the eligibility criteria, for a baby girl who is 3+ years, for admission in Nursery/K.Gs?
Is it necessary that my parents should be in higher income group or belong to elite class to make me eligible for admission? Why this discrimination?
Is it important to sit in written examinations for a small kid like me and qualify it for seeking admission in Nursery/K.Gs?
How would my parents come to know the reasons on which I am declared disqualified?
Governor Sahib.
I am reciting rhymes while sleeping and invoke God to punish those who denied me admission because nobody bothers and listens to my cries and looks at my teary-eyes even those who are at the helm of affairs or rule /govern us here in this world.
