Parents community in Uri area of north Kashmir’s Baramulla district have urged authorities to introduce additional subjects at 10 2 level at Government Girls Higher Secondary School (GHSS) Uri.
A delegation of parents led by Aijaz Ahmad, stated that the school administration had already raised the matter with higher authorities, but no action had been taken so far.
“We demand the introduction of new courses at the school, including computer science, Biochemistry, and others,” Ahmad said.
“This has been a long-pending demand of parents in Uri, yet it remains unaddressed. Introducing these subjects will provide students from this remote area with enhanced knowledge and better learning opportunities,” he said.
“Principal of the school wrote to the Chief Education Officer Baramulla in January regarding the matter, but there has been no response so far,” Ahmad added.
Another parent demanded that courses be started by the end of March. “At a time when the government promotes ‘Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao,’ why are the girls in remote schools being deprived of basic education?” he said.
Parents community in Uri has appealed to the Education Minister, Commissioner Secretary of Education and MLA Uri to address their concern on a priority basis.
