The suicides following a massive goof-up in evaluation of intermediate students’ results has caused a widespread stir and protests across Telangana. With parents and students taking to the streets, demanding accountability from the Telangana Intermediate Board as well as the Government, there has been news that Globarena’s contract still remains as is.
However, today police had to lathicharge Jana Sena Party activists and student organisations’ members who took part in a protest, shouting slogans against the government. Clearly, in the whole episode, the government has not taken enough accountability and has displayed laxity, with respect to suicides as well as the results fiasco. However, political parties too jumped at the opportunity and began playing the blame game.
Parents have been upset with the fact that the ruling party (TRS) had used student power at the peak of the Telangana movement but isn’t coming forward now to save the careers and future of this very community that has stood by the leaders then. On one hand, it is unfortunate that the whole episode also throws light on how students are unable to accept failure and restoring to the extreme step.
But, it is also exposes the ugly side of our education system’s focus on marks-based assessment and how they decide students’ future. However, the lack of responsibility from the government’s side has drawn severe criticism and many are questioning whether this is what ‘Bangaru Telangana’ was all about for the students who were a crucial part of the movement and whether this is the CM’s return gift to students who gave up their lives for the formation of a separate state.
