14 FEB: People’s Conference (PC) chief Sajad Gani Lone demanded the Government’s intervention in the issue of 22 Kashmiri students whose forms were rejected by JKBOSE.
Taking to social networking site X, Sajad Lone posted, “22 students submitted their 10th-class exam forms through Islamic Global School, Padshahi Bagh Srinagar two months ago. JKBOSE rejected their forms due to the school’s non-registration.”
“With exams starting from Monday the students cannot obtain their roll number slips and hence can’t sit for exams putting their careers in peril. It is the job of the government to ensure that unregistered schools don’t operate. It is not the job of the parents,” said PC chief.
He added, “How do parents know whether the school is registered or not. The onus of rescuing the children falls on the government. Please don’t wash your hands off like you do in everything. And neither is it a UT/a state issue.”
Lone said “It is well within the powers of the government. The Chairman of JKBOSE can easily intervene and facilitate a partnership with a registered school. Anything to rescue the children.”
