The career of Kashmiri youth is at stake but who is responsible. The frequent closure of schools and colleges is leading us to stone age. We being the youth of the technology driven world should realize what is happening in our state . Are we intending to make this another Afghanistan or Nigeria? While talking to my 10 years old little cousin today she told me what is happening with our educational system right now , and I politely replied what do you mean .She told “I mean back in 2016 we were asked by the government to go to schools but right now we are asked to stay at home”. While thinking over what my little cousin told me, I thought this conflict is directly affecting our educational system. How long our educational system would remain under the shadow of politics. What kind of democracy is in our state that we are not letting our children to go to schools on the pretext of law and order situation. Is there any institutional republicanism?
When schools are open and children’s are in classrooms communities sense stability is returning. I myself had been in my college last Saturday and I am going after a week there now it feels like that I am going on a get together after a weekend. It is really a horrendous for our society that the youth are turning away from education and leading towards the stone age.
We are really unaware about these kinds of prison balls in which we are caught right now. Our tastes, desires and imagination all in prison this is where the most danger lies. It is a terrible threat to this society that we educational institutions are not fulfilling their purpose and it will result in devastating thing. Our societies will develop only on the foundation of human and moral values but the institutions teaching these values are being closed on the pretext of law and order situation.
My question is to our worthy Chief Minister and Educational Minister that how long we have to keep our educational institutions closed on the pretext of law and order situation , separate education from politics Please!
