Imphal, June 22 2013 :
All Manipur Student Guardians' Organization (AMSGO) has demanded the State government to make Ram Lal Paul Higher Secondary School a co-educational institute instead of converting it exclusively for girls.
Addressing media persons at the office of AMSGO, Palace Compound here today, Secretary of the Organization S Sumati said that CC Higher School and Johnstone Higher Secondary School are two schools only for boys while TG Higher Secondary School and Ibotonsana Higher Secondary School are two all girls' schools in Imphal Area.
So, Ram Lal Paul School can be made co-educational like Ananda Singh Higher Secondary Academy, she noted.
She further said that the students of Ram Lal Paul School should not be discarded while trying to fit in the excess students seeking admission in TG Higher Secondary School.
They would find difficulty in seeking admission in other schools.
The only solution to this issue is to allow both boys and girls to study together at Ram Lal Paul School, Sumati contended.
She continued to say that the educationists should not think about gender differences.
They should impart quality education to both boys and girls.
The government should consider making Bengali High School exclusively for girls rather than keeping an eye on Ram Lal Paul School, the Secretary suggested.
The Organization also condemned undue political interference in education, which has resulted in cancellation of MBBS/BDS Entrance Examination in the State.
