Srinagar, Nov 6: Jammu and Kashmir Private Schools United Front (JKPSUF) has demanded the government to formulate rules and regulations for deciding dates and duration of winter vacations.
The Front said that every year the announcement of winter vacations has become a big issue in Kashmir. "There is no logic in those dates except the benefits to some officers, whose wives and other relatives want to cherish the heat of Jammu," said JKPSUF General Secretary G N Var. "As soon as the Durbar Move migrates to Jammu, a vested lobby gets to work to get winter vacations announced quickly." The Front demanded that the government constitute an expert committee comprising of officials of government education department, private schools, weather department and a student parent body. "This committee should be empowered to decide the winter vacations based on scientific and logistic principles and also keeping in mind education requirements," said Var. "It should not be the decision made purely for the benefit of wives, daughter in laws and other relative of babus." |
