SRINAGAR, Dec 13: The Private Schools United Front (PSUF) has accused the Government of patronizing Delhi Public School (DPS) at the cost of thousands of private and Government schools in Kashmir.
The Front said after the forced closure of schools in the name of winter vacations in this fair weather, the Government intentions have become clear. “There was no need of closure of schools early this winter. But they still did it just to benefit a particular so called elite school, which was still working,” said Prof A G Masood, general secretary PSUF.
The Front leader said that no school in Kashmir can work without the approval of State Government and thus everybody has to follow their rules. “Some officials claim that DPS follows CBSE, but it is the affiliation and recognition of Department of Education that makes them functional. So they have to follow the law of the land but unfortunately they are given a royal treatment,” said Masood.
Meanwhile, The Front held a meeting wherein Government was asked to come clear on this discrimination. “In case they don’t do anything, then we too will open our schools, conduct exams and promote students to new classes,” said G N Var, president PSUF.
The Front leader also demanded that the Government should initiate an inquiry and find out who ordered the infamous flip flop winter vacation announcement, scuttling of mass promotion, denial of scholarship to students, schools etc.
