Srinagar, Oct 18: J&K Private Schools Association (PSAJK) today urged the Govt to allow the schools to function normally as has been allowed in many parts of the country while stating the continuous closure of schools has affected the mental health of the children.
President PSAJK G. N. Var said that the health experts have time and again recommended reopening of schools even as the private schools are currently suffering badly and many schools are on the verge of closure due to financial crises.
“When states like Maharashtra and Kerala, where Covid cases were in large number, can re-open schools, why J&K Government is not issuing such orders,” he asked.
He said that continuous closure of schools has badly affected the mental health of children “and if students are kept away from their schools for more time, it can prove dangerous for kids.”
He retreated that it is time that schools should be thrown open again and children be allowed to learn in open environments of educational institutions.
On the occasion, PSAJK informed that Waheed Ahmed Bandey, Chairman Jamia Zia-ul-Uloom Poonch has been elected as District President uncontested whereas Maqbool Hussain Mukhlis of Diana English Institute was elected as General Secretary PSAJK Poonch unopposed.
