Srinagar, Oct 30: The Coaching Centres Association of Kashmir has hailed the decision to reverse the academic session in Kashmir
“I write today with deep gratitude and heartfelt thanks to the Government of Jammu and Kashmir for its historic and much-needed decision to reverse the 2022 order that shifted the academic session in the Kashmir region from November to March. This change will apply to students in classes up to 9th starting this year, with a promise to extend it to other classes next year,” a statement said.
“This decision, taken in the best interest of students and the overall educational landscape of the region, is a major step toward rectifying a policy that was not only unsuitable for the region’s topography but also had a detrimental impact on the mental health and academic performance of students,” said Haamid Mufti, President, Coaching Centres Association of Kashmir.
The Association congratulated the newly formed government, particularly the Minister for Education, Sakeena Itoo, and all the cabinet ministers who have supported and understood the gravity of this issue. “Their vision and dedication toward the future of our youth are highly commendable. A special note of gratitude also goes to o Chief Minister, whose visionary leadership has ensured that this pressing issue was addressed with the urgency and importance it deserved.”
The decision to revert to the traditional November session is a triumph for students, parents, and educators across Kashmir. “This move is not just a policy reversal but a restoration of normalcy that will pave the way for more productive academic years and, more importantly, alleviate the unnecessary stress that the March session had placed on students.”
