JAMMU, Dec 18: Members of central executive body of the J&K Private Schools Association, Jammu presented a memorandum to Dr Parikshat Singh Manhas, Chairman of JKBOSE and discussed the number of teething problems being faced by the private schools.
While briefing, members highlighted the serious issues which included the tagging of students who are now studying in class 10th, 11th & 12th in the private schools constructed on the state land with the nearby Government institutions, abrupt increase of affiliation / inspection fee by the JKBOSE authorities with GST @18%, delay in publication of list of schools which are de affiliated/derecognized and constructed on state land, delay in conduct of teachers Capacity Building Program for the private school teachers by the JKBOSE and other allied departments etc.
Members demanded that all such students who intend to appear in 10th & 12th in year and session 2024 Annual (Regular) should be allowed to appear from the same school as one time exception from where they had been registered in class 9th &11th i.e. in the session 2022 -2024 as the tagging of the students of board classes at the end of academic session i.e. 2023-24 will not only hamper the education but also create a mental stress among the innocent students. They also demanded one time exception to fill RR of those students who were admitted in the beginning of Academic session 2023 and studying in class 9th & 11th till now in the same school for the larger interest of the society as neither JKBOSE nor Education Department has served any notice for the closure of such schools before the commencement of academic session i.e. 01/04/2023.
Members also demanded the display of list of all schools which are de affiliated/ de recognized due to non availability of ‘No Objection Certificate’ regarding land use before the commencement of new Academic Session.
Dr Parikshat Singh Manhas gave a patient hearing and briefed the delegates that JKBOSE has no other alternative than tagging the students in other Government schools to save the carrier at this critical juncture. He promised to conduct capacity building program for the private schools teachers and assured the publication of list of unauthorized/unrecognized schools in a couple of days.
The delegation comprised of Kamal Gupta, Ajay Gupta, Deepak Handa and Sanjeev Luthra.
