All Jammu and Kashmir Students Union (AJKSU) in a statement Tuesday expressed dismay over the government’s decision to conduct final exams of 10th and 12th classes in next month.
AJKSU President Syed Tajamul said, “at a time when there is political uncertainty in the Valley from the last 90 days, when Schools and Colleges remain totally closed and students were not able to attend the tuitions due to imposition of Curfew, restrictions and strike calls, how could have students prepared themselves for the examinations.”
The spokesperson of AJKSU further said that government should be aware that examinations are directly linked with the bright future of students and as such students are neither mentally nor the situation presently allows them to sit in examinations. “The examinations are not like state or parliamentary elections to which government will expect normalization in political situation.”
Slamming a section of schools authorities who just uploaded syllabus on their school websites to act as they are fulfilling their responsibility, AJKSU said that it is unfortunate students are being asked by the school administration to download the content from website at a time when there is no possible internet facility to the students.
