Students appeal
Belatedly though, the PABSON, a private boarding
schools organisation, has decided to open schools. But one wonders how long this
decision will be in effect. What will happen if the ANNISU-Revolutionary again forces
schools to shut down. I think such enforced closure of academic institutions is not an
effective means of putting pressure on the government. Instead, it spoils the future of
the innocent students. All of us are being deprived of our education because of the
"indefinite strike."
Our country is trying to make progress by means
of education. But if such strikes and shutdowns occur frequently, the future of the
country will be pushed into the dark. The future of a country relies on the quality
education of children, who will be leading the country once they grow up.
So, the future of the students will be adversely
affected, if colleges and schools remain closed for a long time and they are denied the
right to education. Children, who used to carry their bags, books and go to schools
happily, are now playing with dust and killing their valuable time doing nothing at home.
So, I request you to listen to the appeal of the innocent children like us who have
nothing to do with your political interest. Please, allow us to attend our classes without
fear and disturbance. We also kindly request you not to play with our future.
