Imphal, September 13:
Taking serious note of the deteriorating academic atmosphere in the State, the All Manipur Govt Recognised Private Schools Welfare Association has urged for maintenance of uniformity in the academic calendar and in the teaching-learning process of all schools.
Speaking to reporters today, president of the Association Shyama Khaba appealed to all the people not to cause or make any disturbance to the academic atmosphere.
He called upon the people to make the slogan/campaign for quality education meaningful and effective.
Shyama also mooted abolition of schools unable to give proper education to students.
Informing that the Association will be launching a awareness programme under the slogan, �Make education a free zone, make education a peace zone�, Shyama said that sit-in-protest and silent rallies will be staged at different places to make education free and peace zone, to exempt schools from tax collections/fund drives and exempt education from bandhs, blockades etc.
The main objectives of the movement are to make education a free zone, to attend classes on days of bandh, general strike etc and to include education among essnetial services, Shyama highlighted.
