Srinagar/Jammu,Jan,09
Qayoom Wani, Chairman, Jammu & Kashmir Civil Society Forum (JKCSF), has strongly condemned the continued failure of the authorities to appoint a permanent Chairman to the Jammu & Kashmir Board of School Education (JKBOSE), terming it a blatant act of administrative apathy and political callousness that is directly ruining the careers of lakhs of students.
Keeping JKBOSE headless at a crucial time has paralysed the institution and delayed the declaration of results, pushing students and their families into unbearable stress and uncertainty. Students who completed their examinations months ago are still waiting for results that will decide their academic future, while the government continues to dither over appointments. This is not a procedural lapse; it is a serious injustice to the youth of Jammu & Kashmir.
“Playing politics over the appointment of the JKBOSE Chairman and keeping such a vital institution leaderless is nothing short of playing with the future of our children. Unfortunately, putting students’ careers at risk has become a norm in Kashmir, and this culture of irresponsibility must end immediately,” said Qayoom Wani.
The delay has disrupted academic schedules, admissions, and career planning, while causing immense mental pressure on students. Education cannot be held hostage to bureaucratic delays or political interests. Every day of inaction steals time, confidence, and opportunity from our youth.
JKCSF urgently appeals to the Hon’ble Lieutenant Governor and the Hon’ble Chief Minister to rise above politics, immediately appoint a competent full-time Chairman of JKBOSE, and ensure the prompt announcement of pending results so that students can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
“The government must understand that silence and delay are also decisions—and in this case, they are decisions against students. Accountability must be fixed, and such negligence must never be repeated,” Wani added.
JKCSF stands firmly with the students of Jammu & Kashmir and will continue to raise its voice until their rights, dignity, and future are protected.
