Srinagar: Reacting to the closure of all private tuition centres in Kashmir valley for 90 days, the Congress on Sunday expressed surprise over the move and described it as the endorsement of the failures on the part of the Jammu and Kashmir government.
A Congress spokesperson, while commenting on the closure of tuition centres, said despite taking corrective measures to come out of this situation, the new directive by government added further chaos to the situation. “The closure of tuition centres will ruin the career of the students, besides sending wrong and confusing signals among the common masses in valley,” he said.
He said the closure will have serious impact on the career of students especially for those who were preparing for entrance or normal examinations this year.
The spokesperson said the widespread protests by students should not be the reason for closure of tuition centre as it is the responsibility of the government to ensure congenial atmosphere and smooth functioning of School and Colleges. “Closure of tuition centres is not going to benefit students, rather will ruin their career badly for which the government will be responsible,” he said.
Urging the government to revoke the closure, he said that government should take corrective measures to contain the situation to ensure that career of students are not ruined, besides ensuring that Education System in the valley is not affected. “This move on the part of government will certainly not serve any purpose, the fact of the matter is it will have serious implications on the education sector in valley,” he added.
