Guwahati, Jan 24 : The All Assam Students' Union (AASU) on Saturday launched a series of protests against the state education department for its decision to add fifth and eight standards to lower primary and higher primary schools respectively from the 2011 session "without making necessary infrastructure developments in the schools".
According to the new school education norms,the lower primary schools will from now have to add class V and ME Schools will add class VIII to maintain a national standard.
Addressing the media, AASU appreciated the move, but vehemently criticised the state government's decision of implementing it without making the schools (mostly vernaculars) equipped with extra classrooms and teachers for the students.
"Earlier, the state government decided to separate the higher secondary standard (+2) from colleges and attaching them to schools without making any infrastructural upgradation in the schools.
AASU sighted the problem and our protest resulted in a stay order. Now the state is repeating the same mistake with the schoolchildren.
