J&K PRIVATE SCHOOLS UNITED FRONT : PRESS RELEASE TO SACH NEWS Controversial Class 12 Maths paper JKPSUF condemns BOSE for denying re-examination SRINAGAR, November 10: J&K Private Schools United Front (JKPSUF) has condemned the Board Of School Education (BOSE) for failing to repeal the controversial class 12 Maths paper and announcing good-for-nothing cosmetic measures. The Front said that the authorities have failed to grasp the situation arising out of this paper. “It has already claimed one life and pushed thousands into depression,” said G N Var, General Secretary JKPSUF. “BOSE is acting like an arrogant insensitive organization determined to punish students and defend itself.” The Front rejected the grace marks offered by BOSE. “Our students are not beggars, they have toiled hard for the subject and they want justice not any compensation,” said Var. The Front said that this is not the question of passing the exam, rather building a career. “JEE (Joint Entrance Examinations) gives 40 percent weightage to board marks, so when the marks are low, the chances for Kashmiri students to qualify decrease proportionately,” said Var. “Not only the chances of our students for IIT and IIE have decreased but we fear that our students won’t be able to grab a seat in our own National Institute of Engineering (NIT) which will be dominated by outside students.” The Front asked the authorities to desist from these cosmetic measures and announce the re-examination of Maths paper as soon as possible. “We have been getting calls and deputations from thousands of students all of whom want their due share in the form of re-examination and not any charity,” said Var. The Front also criticized the BOSE for just blaming one person for this crime and giving minimal punishment to him. “Barring some anonymous paper setter for setting papers for five years is not any punishment, he won’t be affected by it, whereas his and his associates actions have affected thousands,” said Var. “What about the persons who approved the paper or this is a one man system.” The Front alleged that by minimally punishing one person, BOSE is trying to brush aside the matter lightly. With such an attitude, there is no guarantee that the blunder wont repeat itself next year, said Var.
