Imphal, July 11:
Expressing strong resentment over State Government's plan of closing down grant-in-aid (aided) elementary schools, Kuki Students' Organisation (KSO) warned that the organisation with the help of other fraternal organisations will fight tooth and nail against the decision and the outcome of which will not be in the interest of the Government.
The KSO informed that there are 502 schools under the grant-in-aid elementary schools in the State, out of which 252 are in hill areas.
The Government planned to close down 169 schools in which 60 elementary schools and five high schools are in the hill areas, where there is no private school within the reach of the people.
Maintaining that it must be realised that closing down of these schools will amount to denial of right to education, KSO urged the Government to reconsider the decision.
