Imphal, June 06 2023:
For a better future of the students who have been affected by the com-munal violence, MC Higher Secondary announced free education to the displaced students.
Addressing media per-sons at Sangakpham, EK Higher Secondary School secretary Pangeijam Saratchandra noted that the state government an-nounced summer vacation of educational institutions from May 4 to 30 due to the unrest situation and further extended the holiday till June 15 as the violence continues.
If the situation remains the same as had been witnessed in Jammu and Kashmir where all edu-cational institutions were shut for three months sub-sequent to bifurcation of J&K into three union terri-tories, the future of the students of Manipur will be at stake.
Therefore, to save the academic career of students, the government needs to bring out a pol-icy to ensure the right to education to the students who are the pillars of the society, he added.
Informing that there are 234 private and govern-ment schools affiliated to the Council of Higher Secondary School, 1104 government and pri-vate higher secondary schools under the Board of Secondary Education Manipur, over 50 schools affiliated to CBSE and over 100 colleges affiliated to different universities in the state, Saratchandra appealed to the author-ity concerned to allow transfer of students to any schools and colleges according to their conve-niences.
Appealing to the government to take up measures for providing free education to students, Saratchandra said that EK School will also take up necessary measures to provide free school uniforms and books in ad-dition to providing hostel facilities to the displaced students at its best level.
