Sopore, Dec 13 (KNS): Ahead of new academic session in educational institutions across valley have started several schools of north Kashmir’s Sopore have resorted to open loot while introducing new books into syllabus and asking parents to buy the same on particular stationary outlets.
Several parents while speaking to Kashmir News Service (KNS) expressed anguish over open loot by educational institutes who have prescribed new books for students. Parents who termed it “open loot” alleged that the school administration has directed them to purchase the same books to specific stationary outlets.
“School admin has covertly incorporated new books into syllabus without taking Board of School Education (BOSE) into confidence. This move is aimed to open loot by these institutions for earning huge commission from stationary dealers”, parents alleged.
They said the authorities should come up with strong note followed by strict action against these schools who have ignored the prescribed syllabus by BOSE as it tantamount the violation BOSE norms.
Pertinently there has been no class work in valley schools since March 2020 when Covid-19 pandemic hit Jammu and Kashmir.
Aggrieved parents appealed Government to intervene into the matter and save the parents from this open loot. They also demanded strict action against such educational institutions and urged for cancellation of their registration for the larger benefit of society. (KNS)
