Omar seeks cooperation of all sections to restore education

The chief minister appealed to the civil society to rise to the occasion and work together with the state government to ensure that the students’ education and their future is not affected.

“All stakeholders in Jammu and Kashmir need to introspect and understand that over the last two decades of turmoil our children have suffered stress at a very tender age and this in turn has affected their ability to create a niche in the competitive world,despite being highly capable and talented,” he said.

Omar appealed to all to rise above their stated positions and ideologies to join hands for securing the career of the future generations,which will essentially depend on good education.

He said all endeavours should be made to conduct the examinations as per schedule “so that precious academic year of our bright students is not wasted”.
