| Despite winter vacation pvt schools remain open | | | Early times report
SRINAGAR:Despite Jammu and Kashmir government's order to keep schools closed in the Kashmir valley for the winter vacations, several private schools in central Kashmir’s Ganderbal district are functioning.
The administrators of these schools says the decision to close was issued at ‘a short notice’.
The state government last week asked to close down all schools in the Valley in view of cold wave and sub-zero temperatures.
However, private schools in Ganderbal and adjoining areas are keeping all the classes running including kindergarten and nursery batches.
"The students are going to be home for the next three months and we had not even assigned them the syllabus to be covered during this period. We will close our school from next week after completing this exercise," a teacher in central Kashmir said on anonymity.
The government while ordering closure of schools up to VIII class on November 29 had warned of strict action against those who failed to comply with the orders.
The academic session in Kashmir starts in October-November and schools close for two-and-half-month. But these extra classes in this bitter cold are putting the health of our children at risk, a parent said.
“It seems the managements of private schools have a parallel directorate, which decides their academic calendar. Despite strict warnings from the government, they don’t abide,” said another parent.
“These private schools should be derecognised,” he said adding that all this is happening in a district which happens to be CM’s constituency.
