Parents demand classroom time for students in Kashmir
Srinagar, Sept 04 :
Parents across the Kashmir Valley have demanded immediate revocation of order in which it was mentioned that the educational institutes will remain closed till further orders.
Parents alleged that the conspiracy has been hatched against education system of Kashmir valley and instead of taking other preventive measures, Government has without any reason and justification closed educational institutes, although all the educational institutes and students were following proper SOPs and other COVID-19 guidelines.
Although Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha on Wednesday said that the UT administration is planning to reopen colleges and universities this month for physical classes after vaccinating the students above 18 years of age.
Pertinently, in a recent order the government had said that while all the schools, colleges and coaching centers will continue to remain closed for on-site and in-person teaching, the educational institutions are permitted to seek attendance of vaccinated staff for administrative purposes.
Parents said there are no restrictions on restaurants, shopping malls, gatherings and other public places, why only a classroom is treated as main driver of COVID-19 transmission.
Government has to kill Corona virus by taking preventive measures and not kill education of Kashmir valley which has been halted since 2019, they added.
We are on the list that nobody wants to be on, the list of countries that have forgotten education, I think there are seven countries in the world without opening schools and without plans to return, said one of the parent.
