Imphal, August 01 2021: Pointing out that some private higher secondary schools Had commenced admission process prior tothe declaration of BSEM class X result despite the restrictions imposed by the government and in defiance of the total curfew put in place for containing Covid-19 pandemic, Pangal Students' Organisation (PSO) has categorically stated that such admission process could not be accepted and a fresh process should be initiated.

In a release, PSO president BM Zee-shan said that the organisation has been conducting campaigns for producing meritorious students to shape a better society.

However, Covid-19 pandemic has been affecting all sectors across the world.

The restriction imposed by the government to contain the pandemic has also tremendously affected the poor and daily wage earners.

Parents are fighting for their survival on one hand and to educate their children on the other, he stressed.

Subsequently, the government decided to cancel examination for High School Leaving Certificate Examination conducted by BSEM and promoted the students to the next class.

Unfortunately, taking undue advantage of the situation, some private schools began admission process in defiance of the government restriction and as such admission process should be annulled and initiate appropriate punitive action against recalcitrant authorities of the private schools, he reiterated.

Taking serious note of the admission process conducted by private schools in violation of the government order, Zeeshan said that such acts of the private schools are akin to belittling existence of the government.

Urging the government to look into the matter and squash the admission process, Zeeshan exhorted other schools not to repeat such acts.
