Imphal, October 30 2009: A meeting organized by the All Manipur Recognized Private Schools Welfare Association (AMRPSWA) today threatened to launch intense forms of agitations from next day if there brings about an end to the class boycott stir by November 4 .

The meeting held at MDU hall, Yaiskul with AMRPSWA president, H Bira, convener, Th Gojendro and principal of Standard Robert Higher Secondary School, Landhoni in the dais endorsed a three point resolution unanimously.

The resolutions include press for ending the deadlock on class boycott through talks between the agitating students' bodies and government on or before November 4 to allow resumption of normal class by next day.

If government failed to translate the point within the set deadline, to launch intense forms of agitation, the meeting further resolved.

A 12 member core committee for the same also formed in the meeting with three members each from all districts of the state, declared in the meeting.

Principal of the Standard Robert Higher Secondary School, Th Gojendro speaking in the meeting said that there would certainly comes an end to the stir one day with an amicable solution between the agitating group and government.

But, it will not be a right one to remain as silent spectator without knowing the agreement to be brought about.

Even if the class boycott stir ended the impact of the prolong stir will be suffered by the private school.

This needs to be considered.

In such condition, members of the AMRPSWA are holding meetings frequently.

We also agree with the notion right to life is more precious than right to education.

But it will not be a right one to continue the stir for prolong period of time.

Using education as only to tool achieve the right is not a right one he observed expressing involvement of other departments in pressing the demand.

Principal of Brighter Academy School, H Priyobarta speaking at the meeting asked whether it can be called that the ongoing class boycott stir is for all the schools in the entire state.

Whether the scheduled exams of 2010 could be stopped in the entire state is also another questionable one.

To bring about an end to the deadlock is only through talks between the agitating groups and government.

But both the agitating groups and government are not hearing the voice of people.

For the sake of the people, government should find a way to end the deadlock and effort should be made to allow conduct of normal classes in the schools.

Teachers should joined together and press the government to end the deadlock, he demanded.

Vice-president of the AMRPSWA, Doren said students are not enabling to attain class properly since the outbreak of agitation in wake of exposure of July 23 shooting incident as fake encounter.

It is automatic to raise up parent, guardians and teachers in this situation and government should also take up at least some visible action to bring to the normalcy.

Conflict situations are prevailing in many parts of the globe.

But education is rarely affected by the situation.

Apart from this, the ongoing class boycott stir is giving impact to schools situated in the valley area.

If the agitation is to be launched, it should cover the entire state, he observed.

It is the duty of the government to bring an end to the deadlock, said head master of St Anthony School.

The delay in solving the deadlock will bring nothing but a great looser to the present generation.
