Govt Allows 22 Islamic Global School Students to Appear for 10th Exams; Education Minister Confirms

The Jammu and Kashmir government is set to allow 22 students of Islamic Global School to appear in the 10th class exams following public outcry and a court directive. Education Minister Sakina Itoo assured that no student’s academic year would be wasted due to administrative lapses.

Itoo said, “The academic year of students is precious, and the government will not allow it to be wasted. I am holding a meeting regarding the denial of registration to these students and will ensure that their academic careers are not affected due to the school’s mismanagement.”

The Srinagar Court directed the Jammu and Kashmir Board of School Education (JKBOSE) to permit the students to appear in the annual examinations. The decision follows criticism from various quarters, including Kashmir politicians, who questioned the delay in implementing the court order.

The Private Schools Association of Jammu and Kashmir (PSAJK) welcomed the minister’s late-night intervention, calling it a “bold and decisive” step. “The timely decision has brought immense relief to students and parents who were distressed due to administrative hurdles. It upholds the right to education and shows that the government is responsive to public concerns,” PSAJK President G N Var said.

Director of School Education Kashmir, GN Itoo, confirmed that the issue had been resolved in the interest of safeguarding students’ academic futures. However, he stated that strict action would be taken against the school for violating norms. (KNO)
