The J&K education department, in a rare move, has sought affidavits from parents on the non-involvement of their wards in any form of drug addiction before seeking admissions in high schools and higher secondary schools in the border district of Kupwara.
“If any student is found involved in drug addiction following affidavits submitted by their parents, such students would be rusticated and their admissions cancelled from the educational institutes,” Abdul Hamid Fani, Chief Education Officer (CEO) of Kupwara, told The Hindu.
The Kupwara education department has passed strict orders to educational institutes, preparing to start admissions for Class ninth, 10th, 11th and 12th standards, not to give admissions without acquiring affidavits from the parents.
