Maring Students’ Union questions BOSEM’s white paper

IMPHAL, February 24: The Maring Students' Union (MSU) has in a release expressed shock over the white paper on the issue of eligibility to sit for HSLC Examination, 2013 wherein it stated that the candidates who have filled up the application forms issued by the BOSEM for the upcoming examination will not be allowed to appear the same on the ground that allowing them to take the examination would be subjudice because the AMSGO and the concerned schools have failed to withdraw the Writ Petition filed in the Imphal Bench of Guwahati High Court on the matter.

The MSU questioned why the BOSEM issued application forms to the 1924 students while the case is still pending disposal in the Guwahati High Court, the press release stated.

The attempt of the BOSEM by registering nearly 7000 students to allow them to give the HSLCE 2012 violating its own Rules & Regulations is strongly condemnable as the attempt threatens quality education, the release said.

The release further continued that MSU has given enough time to the BOSEM to give up indifferent attitude to the poor state-of-affairs of education in the hills and the student body also considers the fate of the students whose educational carriers are at stake.

Therefore, it (MSU) did not oppose the move but was closely monitoring the steps of the board on the issue.

But barring the students who have filled up the application forms is highly condemnable and invites serious intervention, it said.

The press statement of the student body urge BOSEM to take up measures to save the educational carreer of the students at the earliest to prevent undesirable consequences for which the BOSEM will be held solely responsible.
