Imphal, January 03:
Foundation of the third building of the Hijam Irabot Memorial Public School being run by the Jananeta Hijam Irabot Memorial Charity Trust was laid today at Kakching Khunou, Umathel.
Speaking on the occasion as chief guest, secretary of Irabot trust Kh Borkishore stressed on the importance of developing human resources of the land so that Manipur can join the bandwagon of globalisation.
For human resource development, he insisted on rectifying the existing education system of the State.
Asserting that education policies and programmes being adopted by the State Government is unable to deliver, Borkishore noted that it would be wrong to heap the entire responsibility on the Government.
Founder member of Irabot Memorial Public School Kh Japan lamented that education sector has become more of a business enterprise.
He emphasised on the inevitability of a sound education system for a progressive society.
Observing that the act of changing education into a business venture by some rich individuals has severely eroded the value of education and compromised its quality to an alarming extent, Japan called upon the people to check commercialisation of education sector.
The school authority informed that the construction work of the school which will have classes from Nursery to class X will be completed ahead of the forthcoming academic session.
