PSAJK seeks syllabus relaxation for Jammu division students in JKBOSE exams

'Any deviation from uniform academic relief will only deepen regional disparity and undermine the credibility of the evaluation system,' President PSAJK Nazrul Islam Baba said

Srinagar, Jan 20: The Private Schools Association J&K (PSAJK) on Tuesday sought syllabus relaxation for the students of Jammu division in their upcoming JKBOSE examination.

In a statement issued here, President PSAJK Nazrul Islam Baba reiterated the demand for syllabus relaxation for students of the Jammu Division, particularly in Chinab Valley and Poonch saying that the learning time was significantly compromised in the region.

“Parity in education is not negotiable. If learning loss was the yardstick for granting syllabus relaxation in the Kashmir Division, then denying the same relief to Jammu Division students would be discriminatory and academically unethical," Nazrul Islam Baba in a statement said.

He further said that students cannot be punished for regional and situational disadvantages beyond their control.

"Any deviation from uniform academic relief will only deepen regional disparity and undermine the credibility of the evaluation system," Baba said.

He said that PSAJK fully supports the legitimate demands raised by the students from Chinab Valley and Poonch.

He urged the Chairman JKBOSE and the Education Minister Sakina Itoo to intervene decisively. (Greater Kashmir)
