MALDA, Nov. 7: Though all secondary schools and madrassas in Malda have been asked to observe the 11 November as the National Education Day, no such instruction has so far reached the primary schools in Malda district.
It is learnt that the Malda district inspector of schools (Secondary) Mr Chinmay Sarkar has asked all the heads of the secondary institutions and the madrassas in Malda to observe the birth anniversary of India's first education minister Mr Abul Kalam Azad as the National Education Day. Eyebrows were raised across the district as to why no such instruction has been sent to the primary educational institutions.
On 31 October, the DI secondary in Malda, had issued an order saying: “The central government has decided to observe 11 November, 2008, the birthday of Moulana Abdul Kalam Azad as National Education Day every year.”
The DI has also requested the head of the institutions to organise seminars, symposia, essay writing competition, workshops and rallies with banners, cards and slogans on the importance of education and the nation's commitment to education for all and sundry.
When asked the chairman of the district primary school council in Malda, Mr Uttam Sarkar said that they had not yet received any intimation from the district education officials regarding the National Education Day. n SNS
