| Missionary School flays rules, asks parents for Income certificates to get kid's admission done | | Education the luxury of Rich people only | |
Early Times Report
Srinagar, Nov 29: Throwing basic principles of education to the wind, the missionary schools in Valley have began admitting students on the basis of parents' monthly income, hence shutting doors at the poor who deem quality education is there right too.
One of the most known missionary schools in Kashmir Valley has sought admission for the year 2016-17 for Class Nursery with interaction with parents and kids scheduled after December 1- the last date of submission of forms.
What has undermined and flayed the basic rules of education is the diktat by the school authorities to the parents who have been asked to submit their monthly income certificate that too duly signed by the competent authority.
The school, as per its official website has asked parents that the admission forms of their kids would not be accepted unless they submit their monthly income sheets with the school's establishment department.
Such a measure while being ridiculed by the society here at large is being questioned.
The diktat while denying poor their right to admit wards in the school has attempted to create a dreadful wedge in the society by discriminating between the affluent and the poor.
Though the government seems to be acting as a mute spectator over the issue, the Director Education Kashmir, when contacted for the comment, didn't pick up the repeated calls.
Meanwhile, while expressing disgruntlement over the school order, parents termed the move bizarre and contrary to the basic essence of education. "Does that mean those kids whose parents aren't earning enough have no right to admit their wards in the school. Isn't such a diktat flaying the rule of Education for all? I mean what else could be the need of submitting the monthly income certificate," says Professor Mujeeb, a leading educationist here.
He added that the government too has been caught napping over the issue of private schools flaying norms. "What for is the government if it can't even take action over such unnatural order. Has it left this missionary school to do what it intends to do without even caring little for the rules formulated by the Jammu and Kashmir's education department," he added.
The missionary school wherein mostly the kids of affluent study has this year as well proved that the quality education is the luxury of the rich and poor cannot even dare to seek the admission in the school.
Parents said that the incumbent education minister who keeps beating the trumpet of ensuring quality education in Jammu and Kashmir should atleast know that he is the minister of education and doesn't belong to government- run schools only. "He has given absolute power to this missionary school to decide things at its own will. Had this not been the case, the school authorities would have never dared to issue such an order," says Abdul Gani, a parent who was about to seek admission for his son in the missionary school.
Meanwhile, the school authorities weren't available for the comment with most of them saying there weren't authorised to issue statement over the issue. |
