Availability of books for new classes mock at govt decision of holding exams in March 2015 12/15/2014 11:02:43 PM Shakeel A Khan Early Times Report BUDGAM, Dec 15: Despite the cabinet decision that annual examination for this year will be conducted in March next year the availability of the books in the market for the new classes has exposed the government to the hilt. "If the government is honest in conducting the examinations in March, then how come the books for the new classes are available in the market? In fact, the books for the classes of 8th, 9th and 10th are available at my shop despite the cabinet order that the examination will be conducted in March, 2015," said a bookseller from Budgam, wishing anonymity. People as a whole allege that the government has turned a blind eye and deaf ears towards the apprehension that the conduct of annual examination in March, 2015 is nothing but a formality. They say that authorities have let the coaching centers to carry on their business. "It will serve the government a purpose that the students who have taken up the new classes in the coaching canters will help in rescheduling the examinations in the month November. The examination scheduled for the March, 2015 carry no significance as the students have joined the new classes and their minds will be occupied with the new syllabus," said Shabir Ahmad from Budgam. Shabir said that when he asked his school going children as to why they have packed the books for which the examinations are yet to be conducted to which as per Shabir, his children replied "The examinations scheduled for March 2015 will just be a formality and it will require no efforts on our part. We have been told to concentrate on the syllabus of the new classes". People also blame that it is no business of the people in power to look into what is happening in the education department these days. They said if the government is committed to conduct the examinations in March then how and why students have taken up the new classes? Private schools have taken a lead in defying the government order and what has encouraged them is that the government has no clear cut policy on the issue. The government has seemingly left the affairs of the department to be looked after by the class IV employees. "Taking cue from the government, Falah-e-Aam Trust (FAT) has also come with the syllabus of new classes. In fact the new class work has started in the name of coaching depicting that the government has lost control over everything," said Irshad Ahmad (name changed), who is a teacher of FAT.   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
