JAMMU: Strongly advocating the demand for age relaxation for enrolled children in first class, President of Parents Association Jammu, Amit Kapoor, along with a large number of parents, protested vigorously outside the Press Club Jammu. The protesters gathered outside the Press Club this morning and after that they protested vigorously under the leadership of Amit Kapoor, raising slogans in support of their demands.
A large number of women and parents of children also participated in the protest. The protesters were also demanding strict action to end the nexus of books and uniforms in private schools. While addressing the protesters, Amit Kapoor said that under the new education policy, the government has issued an order of three years age limit for nursery children last year. He said that the government had issued an order to give age relaxation for the first two years to the children who are enrolled, but some children are still enrolled and orders for age relaxation should be issued for them this year too so that one year is saved for the children and they can get admission in the first class.
Along with this, he also attacked the government for its failure to curb the nexus with the sellers of books and uniforms of private schools. Many schools themselves sell books and uniforms. He further said that the ADC of Jammu is doing a commendable job by raiding various dhawans and other places, but she should also take concrete steps to stop the process of looting parents by private schools in the name of books and new uniforms every year so that parents can get some relief and the looting by private schools can be curbed.
He said that last year they had raided some places and tried to curb the nexus between private schools and book sellers, which was a commendable step. But after that they sat quietly while the nexus of books and uniforms continues. He said that some private schools change the uniforms every year for their vested interests, due to which parents have to face a lot of problems.He demanded from the ADC that he should take this matter seriously and take strict steps to end the nexus of books and uniforms.
At the same time, Amit Kapoor warned that if the government does not immediately issue an order for age relaxation for enrolling children in the first class, then he will intensify his movement against it and the government will be completely responsible for the situation arising out of it.
