Waiting list for admission

I have not heard about any special school having waiting list for getting admission. But we at Sandnya do have waiting list since last more than 4 years. And every month it is going up and up.

The latest figure for wait list has crossed 60. The current capacity is of 82. I have no answer when a wait list parent inquires that when will his ward gets admission? I have no clue. There are many factors which are preventing us from clearing the wait list. The first and the fore most is of course the transport. We have two buses of our own and they are over crowded, in this we can not accommodate even one additional person. So first thing we need is at least two more buses. And this should cost us some were Rs.21.00 lacks. Than we need to have physical space to have additional classes. The third is to have additional special educators. Than support staff and class IV staff as well. The list is long for ' to have'. But essentially it starts from having two additional buses. We are trying but can not say when it will materialize.
