SRINAGAR:Pleading for keeping academia out of politics, Minister of Education, Naeem Akhtar Monday said that despite arduous challenges in sight, the Government would move ahead with its mission of reforming and revolutionizing J&K’s education sector which has the potential to change the destiny of the state and its people.
He said the government had initiated a “chain of reforms” in education sector which will be part of a continuous process, despite various impediments.
The Minister said he is pained to see the tragedy that has befallen the Kashmir causing tragic loss of precious lives, injuries, rendering businesses inactive and depriving our children of education.
“Ironically, we have come to a time where we have disempowered ourselves, intellectually, economically and physically,” said Akhtar. “What could have been a game changing time for our education sector has become a void. This tragedy has broken my heart but not my courage.”
The Minister pleaded with all sections of the society to keep education sector out of politics.
He sought cooperation from teaching community to work overtime to cover the deficit of this valuable time lost due to the prevailing circumstances.
