Protest against govt's move to close schools
TNN | Oct 25, 2011, 01.36PM IST

MYSORE: Dalit Sangarsh Samiti volunteers staged a dharna at DC office
to protest against the state government's decision to close government
schools where there is no sufficient number of students.

In a memorandum submitted to the DC, DSS leaders said the government's
decision to close the government-run primary and secondary schools was
detrimental to the educational interests of rural children,
particularly the dalits who do not have access to educational
facilities created by private institutes and parties in rural areas.

They said instead of closing the schools, the government should
concentrate and initiate measures to improve basic facilities and
teaching skills to attract the children. It is astonishing that the
democratically-elected government is thinking in terms of
feasibilities and profits and losses, they said, adding that the
government should not forget the fact that it has social
responsibilities to discharge too.
