@deepshanks023@Madhu_Bangarapp Thanks a lot @Madhu_Bangarapp Sir for considering this relaxation, and providing a much needed relief for so many children across multiple years and generations.
Thank you Hon’ble Education Minister @Madhu_Bangarapp for considering a 60-day relaxation for Grade 1 admissions.
This brings much-needed relief to kids affected by the age criteria policies.
We truly appreciate your sensitivity and support for students and parents🙏

@swapnaoe@ANI Parents admitted kids during the NEP transition based on schools’ guidance. The confusion began when the 6-year Class 1 rule was enforced later on children already progressing. It’s about clarity and consistency—especially when the curr govt also promised scrap NEP and bring SEP.
@SelvakP@ANI Early school memories are all about first friends and growing together. Imagine being held back because of an age rule while your friends move ahead. A child may not understand the reason, but they will have regret. That feeling of being left behind can quietly impact confidence
#WATCH | Bengaluru | A parent says, "We have been following up for the last two years, when we met the CM, Deputy CM and Education Minister Madhu Bangarappa. We have got assurance from the CM and the Deputy CM. As parents, we want the best for our children. These are children born during Covid times, and they have already faced a lot of emotional and psychological stress. Making them repeat a class will take a toll on their psychological health. We have full faith in the government of Karnataka. I am sure they will prove 90-day relaxation to more than 2 lakh affected children."
#WATCH | Bengaluru | Parents of children who do not meet the Class 1 age cut-off criteria (6 years of age) in the New Education Policy hold a demonstration requesting the Karnataka govt to give a 90-day relaxation to ensure children do not have to repeat UKG or Montessori
A parent says, "It is not a protest but a request to the govt to promote children who have completed three years of pre-primary education to Class 1. Our children are not meeting the 6-year age cut-off under the NEP. For children, repeating a class will cause psychological stress. The institutions are open to it and don't want children to repeat, but we are waiting for the govt to give relaxation in the rule or expedite SEP implementation."
Parents of children in UKG urge 90‑day age relaxation for Class 1 admissions along with issuance of circular to all schools to ensure uniform implementation, in letter to CM

When Policy Decides a Child’s First Step
78 years after independence, why is India’s education system still failing children? The Grade 1 age-limit policy affects millions — yet remains largely ignored.
