AGARTALA, Oct 25 (TIWN): With various colourful dialogues and introductions, comparing the status of school numbers with other states, Tripura Education Minister Ratanlal Nath has announced to shutdown 961 schools by merging them with other schools in the name of "Quality Education". This decision was taken when thousands of unemployed youths are roaming jobless even after qualifying the TET Examination. Instead of recruiting teachers and staffs to mitigate the massive unemployment rate, Govt has taken decision to minimize numbers of schools and thus decade-long struggles of common men which constructed 961 schools across hills and plain areas of Tripura were announced to shutdown, which is another black-history painted by the BJP Govt by three factors losses to the common men. However, in damage repair Govt has announced transportation cost will be carried by the Govt.

On the one side, lack of schools in own areas automatically despairs the Educational awareness and on the other side chances of fresh recruitment and also hitting the local business related to the school either shops or vehicle drivers. 

Over 10,000 teachers can be recruited without compromising the quality education right now, but as nationwide economic disaster under Modi Govt hit the financial condition of the country, thus state Tripura too remains fundless led the State Govt first to impose taxes on common men and now shutting down of existing organizations. So far Modi Govt’s double engine not working at 19 months of the BJP Govt here.

Not only teachers but various types of staffs could be recruited in those schools but now what will happen to contractual workers as mid-day-meal, the Education dept didn't talk about that. 

But depriving unemployed job aspirants Govt’s this decision also to deprive hills, rural areas from the light of Education.

At least 8000 students are studying in those schools and generally hilly area’s schools will be less populated due to the population rate. What will be the future of those schools only the Govt knows.

This is another major failure of BJP Govt which could not maintain the educational institutions rather merging them when thousands of qualifying teachers are left unemployed.

But analysis says, this is totally a wrong decision and removing numbers of schools are only negative run of a Govt and total failure to keep the Educational tradition. There is no crisis of qualified youths who can recruit in those schools. Indeed, Tripura now tops in unemployment rate.
