Islami Jamiat-e-Talaba (IJT) Jammu and Kashmir on Wednesday demanded that authorities in Kashmir “should create” conducive atmosphere before embarking on the process of holding examinations.
IJT, J&K’s largest all-Muslim students’ organization, in a statement issued this afternoon, said that the prevailing situation in Kashmir has had its effect on the process of the education.
The IJT suggested a few steps “through which conducive atmosphere can be created”.
According to IJT, the steps are:
- Giving full consideration to the demands of students regarding the date of conduct of examinations. The authorities at JKBOSE and Higher Education Department should seriously and empathetically look into the demands made by the student community without allowing anyone to use the examinations as a tool to further political ends. It is advisable to chalk out some middle path after consultations with the representatives of students.
- People currently at the helm of affairs in education department should give due consideration to the meaningful suggestions put forward by some ex-officers of the department and not make the issue a prestige point at the cost of students’ careers.
- All cases registered against students from July 08 onwards should be withdrawn so that they are able to resume their studies and appear in the examinations, whenever held, with assurance of physical well-being and psychological satisfaction.
- Those students who have suffered injury of any kind should be allowed to proceed to next classes without having to appear in the examinations.
