The new education policy has established age requirements for admission in each category. According to this policy, a child must be 6 years old to enroll in class 1. However, some children demonstrate extraordinary talent, which is sharp as a supercomputer. Recently, a similar case emerged in Madhya Pradesh.
A 11 -year -old boy, Aarav Patel’s educational visit is notable. He started his education and performed outstanding in every category. When he reached class 9, the school administration stopped his progress, citing his age due to his age. This raised the question: Should the child who constantly achieve A-grade in every class, should be held back due to age? In search of justice, his family approached the Jabalpur High Court, which decided that talent and age, it should be evaluated separately.
The Ministry of Education and the New Education Policy (NEP 2020) said that the minimum age for class 1 is 6 years. This ensures that children are ready for primary education after completing pre-primary education, promoting equality in cognitive development, language skills and social adaptation. While this rule is designed for average children, it can obstruct people with extraordinary abilities. In such cases, flexibility in policy can be beneficial.
Aarav’s father, a forest guard in Jabalpur, Dilip Patel says that he is a talented since childhood. Born on March 19, 2014, Aarav quickly learned his mother, Sandhya Patel, taught him at home. By the age of two and a half, he remembered the names and capitals of most countries.
Dilip Patel shared that when he was posted in Dewas district, a private school teachers recognized Aarav’s extraordinary abilities during the entry discussion. He decided that Aarav did not require nursery, KG -1 and KG -2 education and accepted it directly in class 1 at the age of 2.5 years. Aarav completed class 1 and class 2 within a year. In class 2, he was tasked with reciting the multiplication tables beyond 25, which he did easily.
The school then accepted Aarav directly in class 3 instead of class 2. According to Dilip Patel, Aarav carried forward a class every year. After shifting to Jabalpur, Aarav participated in St. Joseph Convent Ranji, where he consecutively obtained+ grade from class 1 to 8. However, when he applied for class 9, the school refused to register him, citing his age and CBSE rules. As a result, he demanded court intervention.
Madhya Pradesh directs the IQ test for HC RAV
The Madhya Pradesh High Court took the case of Aarav Patel seriously. Justice Vishal Mishra ordered provisional entry for Aarav in class 9 and directed psychiatrists and advisors to form a medical board to evaluate their intelligence, behavior and social maturity. The court stressed that being a minor, in view of the Right to Education (Article 21A), one should not take care of extraordinary talent.
To address the boundaries related to the age of CBSE, ARAV’s IQ test will determine their eligibility for class 9 admission. If his IQ level is higher than other children, he will be given entry.
Aarav also runs a YouTube channel where he teaches mathematics to students of 9th and 10th grade. He wishes to pursue B.Tech from IIT and later serves the country as an IAS officer with interests in science and mathematics.
