Imphal, February 18 2023:
Federal Students' Organisation Kangleipak (FESOK) celebrated its first foundation day under the theme 'Imparting Education with Nationalism' at Manipur Press Club, Imphal on Saturday.
Speaking on the occasion, All Manipur Working Journalists' Union (AMWJU) president Wangkhemcha Shamjai acknowledged the contribution of student community and bodies in bringing up social issues as well as problems in the education sector in the state.
However, in-spite of the relentless endeavours from different sides, there are still gaps in the education sector, which needed to be,addressed to bring improvement, he said.
Shamjai also appealed to student bodies to refrain from involving children in any of its movement.
Highlighting general backwardness of government schools, the AMWJU president said that the government as well as those serving in government schools need to ask themselves if parents would be interested in sending their children to government schools if these institutions lack basic facilities or fare poorly in competitive examinations.
He then urged the student bodies to continue bringing up crucial issues as to aid in improving and developing the education sector.
At the same time, parents also need to understand the importance of parenting in developing their children, Shamjai added.
Meanwhile, FESOK president N Romesh stressed the need for instilling the sense of nationalism among the students and making it part of the education curriculum.
Nationalism and love for motherland are the factors that will help rapid growth of a society, he said while pointing out that theme of the foundationday was specifically chosen considering the importance of developing sense of nationalism.
He also appealed to the education department and bodies concerned to ensure fair conduct of the ensuing HSLCE and HSE 2023.Manipur University Economics Department associate professor Dr Chinglen Maisnam, ATSUM president Paotinthang Lupheng and All Manipur Students Guardians' Organisation general secretary Sougrakpam Sumati were also present on the occasion as presidium members.
