The Directorate of Secondary and Higher Education would ask the education ministry to introduce lottery system for admission to class-I in the capital’s 24 public high schools.
The directorate yesterday made the decision at a meeting of a committee on admission to the 24 government schools. Almost all the headmasters of the schools favoured the lottery system, said meeting sources.
However, admission tests will be held for students trying to get into class-II to class-IX of those schools in the next academic year.
The meeting also decided to sell admission forms in those schools from December 5 to December 14. The tests would be held on December 19, 20 and 21 and results would be published on December 27, they said.
