AGARTALA, April 24 (TIWN): keeping aside the books and studies the school students are made to hold rallies under the banner of SFI at Agartala city to raise voice for beginning the construction of the English medium college at Agartala.

The students who have not yet even qualified for their class 10th exam, they are made to do campaigning for the set up of college during the school hours.

Although Tripura Chief Minsiter Manik Sarkar blamed the BJP govt. for violating the history of India by changing the curriculums in schools, but under Manik Govt.’s era, school students of Tripura are forcing to attend political rallies during school hours.

Innocent students, who would hold books in their hands, have been forced to hold CPM’s banners and to attend in political rallies, whereas the real meaning of those banners they might not understand yet.

It seems that students here have no Educational rights, but they have to follow the long queues rallies arranged by SFI.

According to the sources, along school students from various places, participated in rallies which were organized by SFI on Saturdaydemanding for the commencement of construction work of English medium school oat old jail.

However, whereas students here are protesting against the problems of outside, on the other hands here students have no freedom to protest against the deplorable condition of schools.

Tripura’s schools have no infrastructure, not sufficient number of teachers, no quality education, but Govt. here is carefree to release the students for political rally by shutting down the classes.

As per rule, no school-authority can release its students like this, if they do action can be taken against them.

Our ministers claims that, schools are supposed to be the temples of learning, but the average primary educational institution in rural Tripura is dingy, dilapidated place without access to electricity, toilets and with too few teachers. True, just having great school infrastructure is not sufficient to improve learning outcomes, but it is certainly a necessary condition. The learning outcomes are abysmal in the schools of Tripura as students are seen in political rallies other than in classes.
