Some schools in Bengaluru, India are implementing a new admission policy that restricts applications from certain areas to prevent children from having to travel long distances to school. The policy is aimed at reducing the stress of commuting and the resulting traffic congestion. The schools have devised their own methods to enforce the policy, including rejecting applications from areas that are not covered by their bus routes. Education experts are calling for the government to implement distance criteria for admissions in all schools, similar to what is followed in western countries.https://ift.tt/XiQMH0c
