North-East Forum for International Solidarity (NEFIS) condemns the move of Manipur government to close Government School in Manipur!
North-East Forum for International Solidarity (NEFIS) condemns the move of Manipur government to abolish Bengali High School a government school in Bapupura, Imphal. This move of the Manipur government is going to seriously affect students coming from economically and socially most backward section of society.
Manipur government has been continuously trying to close government schools and promoting private schools. Private schools are flourishing in Manipur and it is out of the reach of majority of students in Manipur. Such attempts at closing government school is going to restrict the access of education.
Policies of Manipur government is going to increase the bridge of social and economic inequality within the state. There should be an equal opportunity and access to education for all. Commercialisation of education should be stopped immediately. Education should be a fundamental right and it is the onus of the state to provide it not of profit making businessmen.
If the Government does not withdraw its abolishment of government school then North East Forum for International Solidarity(NEFIS) will be raising this issue at national level and a nationwide mass protest would be held by different units of NEFIS in different states.
