SRINAGAR, Nov 10: J&K Private Schools United Front (JKPSUF) has condemned the Board of School Education (BOSE) for failing to repeal the controversial class 12 Maths paper and announcing good-for-nothing cosmetic measures.
The Front said that the authorities have failed to grasp the situation arising out of this paper. “It has already claimed one life and pushed thousands into depression. BOSE is acting like an arrogant insensitive organization determined to punish students and defend itself,” said G N Var, general secretary of JKPSUF.
Rejecting the grace marks offered by BOSE, he said that this was not the question of passing the exam, rather building a career. “JEE (Joint Entrance Examinations) gives 40 percent weightage to board marks, so when the marks are low, the chances for Kashmiri students to qualify decrease proportionately,” he explained.
The Front asked the authorities to desist from these cosmetic measures and announce the re-examination of Maths paper as soon as possible.
