SRINAGAR: CPI(M) leader Mohamamd Yousuf Tarigami on Tuesday voiced concern over the Ministry of Education's ( MoE) plans to affiliate all schools of Jammu and Kashmir with the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE).

The CPI(M) leader urged ME too revisit its proposal.

The move will do away with the Jammu and Kashmir Board of School Education ( JKBOSE) which has been playing an exemplary role in prescribing syllabus and conducting exams in an honest and transparent manner, he said in a statement.

Tarigami said the JKBOSE has also played a crucial role in elevating the standard of education and taking it to the next level over the last several decades in the region.

The schools in Jammu and Kashmir are free to affiliate themselves with CBSE after following the due procedures, and there are over 200 schools with such affiliation.

The JKBOSE will cease to function in case MoE affiliates all schools with CBSE. The move will result in hundreds of job losses in Jammu and Kashmir, Taragami said. (UNI)

SRINAGAR: Senior CPIM leader Muhammad Yousuf Tarigami Saturday said that government can’t snatch the rights of employees guaranteed to them by the Constitution. He was reacting to the circular issued by the Government of Jammu and Kashmir regarding the use of social media by its employees. “Government employee is a citizen also and he has every right to exercise his freedom. A government employee can either support or oppose the government’s view and actions and depriving him of this right is against the law and the very principles of the Constitution,” Tarigami told news agency Kashmir News Trust. According to the new social media guidelines, no government employee shall, by any utterance, writing, or otherwise discuss or criticize in public or in any meeting of any association or body any policy pursued or action taken by the government nor shall he in any manner participate in any such discussion or criticism. Tarigami said that every criticism within the ambit of law and constitution is justified. “For this freedom and these rights, people have fought and now government can’t take these rights away from the citizens,” he said. He said it is injustice and totally unfair to stop an employee from even expressing his views on a price rise or social justice. (KNT)
