Bengaluru Parent Alleges Schools Prefer Children of Homemaker Mothers in Admissions
A Bengaluru parent has alleged that some schools in the Banashankari area favour children of homemaker mothers during admissions, claiming working mothers may face rejection. The parent shared these concerns in a Reddit post, describing the practice as an "open secret" and noting that schools reportedly inquire about mothers' employment status annually. Other parents reportedly advised hiding employment details to improve admission chances. The claims have sparked calls for parents to challenge the alleged practice, though they remain unverified.
