Srinagar, Sep 26: Education Minister, Naeem Akhtar here on Monday categorically ruled out the possibility of any mass promotion of any examination in view of the current turmoil in Jammu and Kashmir and asked people to seek clarification from those who have shut twenty thousands government schools and several thousands of private schools across the state.
Talking to KNS correspondent, Akhtar said, Government on spot is providing all facilities including medical services, ration, electricity, LPG, cooking gas, water supply and all other services but it is only education which has become the target of the current unrest in Kashmir.
Clarifying that it is not the government who have closed the schools, Naeem said, “Government has made every kind of facility for the smooth functioning of schools but at the same time it is up to parents to take the benefits of the facility.”
Akhtar further said that the teachers are attending their duties and as such it is for the parents to cooperate.
He asked the separatist leadership to understand that students are losing their precious year due to the current ongoing unrest or to believe that the year 2016 was not there for the Kashmiris.
