[Assam] AT: AASU burn copies of State Education Bill

2007-03-17 Thread umesh sharma
Why doesn't the govt try to improve the govt schools? Maybe becos most govt 
schools are outside state capital and cities -away from dominant voters and 
mass media whose kids go to private schools - like in Washington DC area.

  AASU burns copies of ‘flawed’ Bill
By A City Corresposndent
  http://www.assamtribune.com/scripts/details.asp?id=mar1707\City3
  
 GUWAHATI, March 16 – The All Assam Students Union on Friday burned copies of 
the bill passed by the State Government to control the privately managed 
schools alleging that the document had too many flaws.

The education secretary of the student body Dipanka Nath in a release issued to 
the press has stated that the bill would not serve its purpose and will go 
against the interest of the vernacular medium schools. “The AASU had pointed to 
the drawbacks in the Bill but the Government went ahead with the statute 
without removing the drawbacks,” he said warning that the student body would 
resist any move by the Government that may be detrimental to the welfare of the 
vernacular medium schools and called upon the Government to revoke the Bill at 
the earliest.

All the district and sub-divisional units of the student body protested against 
the Bill by burning its copies.

  Indian Partition Holocaust was the swiftest leading to 2 millions deaths - in 
just 2-3 months --much more than even Rwanda, forget Darfur. WW2 Holocaust 
against Jews happened in over 5 years - by comparison. 
   
  Jinnah was directly responsible in creating the  divisions and promoting an

  I was quite impressed at the first Harvard seminar by Mr Strom of

possible so agreed to any suggestion - by Jinnah and cronies and his wife 
Edvina was soon able to convine her (alleged)  lover future Indian Prime 
Minister Nehru to agree to it. Riots in major Indian cities by Jinah's goons

though. My best wishes to them.
