JAMMU, Jan 11: Government decision to ensure opening of schools and conducting timely examination has not only resulted into respectable examination outcomes but also defeated those nefarious and anti-social elements who were bent to bring education system to grinding halt in the valley.
This was stated by Minister for Education Peerzada Mohammad Sayeed while addressing a jam packed press conference held here today. Commissioner/Secretary Education Naseema Lanker and other senior officers were also present on the occasion. He said that as compared to last year’s exam results there has been 3% increase in pass percentage this year swelling result to 65%.
He reminded media persons that government took the stand of opening schools in spite of opposition from various quarters and today results are indication of the fact that government never allowed wastage of one precious year of the students. He said that entire department of Education swung into action, staff cooperated and students attended their classes.
He complimented Director Information and Public Relations, Khwaja Farooq Renzushah, Print and Electronic Media for launching most effective and well-meaning campaign in favour of opening of schools and conducting examinations which was responded by the society at large.
However, recent heavy snowfall constrained us to take a decision to close them temporarily but still the general public is demanding their reopening. Decision will be taken appropriately with improvement in the weather. He clarified that no special funds earmarked or received for heating system in the schools, it was out of local funds, that heating arrangements were made.
Peerzada while replying to a question said that government has already issued orders to streamline private tuition system so that they don’t charge exorbitant fees and keep effective infrastructure available without causing inconvenience to students. He said that no government teacher is allowed to teach in such private centres during official working time.
