Srinagar, Apr 22: Reacting to the government decision to close private tuition centres in Kashmir Valley for 90 days, Congress today expressed surprise over the move, describing it as the endorsement of the failures of the State government.
Party spokesperson while commenting on the closure of tuition centres said instead of taking corrective measures to come over the situation, the new directive by government has added further chaos to the situation. He said “the closure of tuition centres will ruin the career of the students, besides sending wrong and confusing signals to the common masses in valley.”
Expressing surprise over the move, the party described it as an endorsement of the failures on the part of the State government, saying the closure will have serious impact on the career of students, especially for those who were preparing for entrance or other examinations this year.
“Protests by the students should not be the reason behind closure of tuition centres, as that it is the responsibility of the government to ensure congenial atmosphere, besides normal functioning of schools and colleges,” spokesperson said.
“Closure of tuition centres is not going to benefit students, rather it will ruin their careers badly for which the government will be responsible,” he said.
Urging the government to revoke the order, the party spokesperson added that government should take corrective measures to contain the situation in order ensure that career of students is not ruined, besides ensuring that education system in the Valley is not affected.
“This move will certainly not serve any purpose, the fact of the matter is that it will have serious implications on the education sector in valley,” the spokesperson said.
