The Chief Minister of Kerala, Mr. Vijayan, and his government are facing severe criticism following their alleged inaction in addressing the critical issue of limited admissions for students who pass Class 10 in the Malappuram district.
Concerns have been raised by former Supreme Court Judge, Justice Katju, who recently attended a conference in the region and discovered the distressing situation faced by talented students. Despite repeated appeals and calls for action, the government’s alleged lack of response has sparked outrage, as the aspirations and future prospects of these young individuals hang in the balance.
According to Justice Katju’s email, numerous students in Malappuram who have achieved exceptional results, securing over 90% marks in their Class 10 exams, are being denied admission to Class 11 in subjects such as computers, biology, maths, physics, and chemistry. These students harbor dreams of pursuing careers in engineering, medicine, scientific research, IT, and other fields. However, the limited availability of seats in these subjects is severely hampering their chances of pursuing their desired career paths, leaving their aspirations shattered and their futures uncertain.
Justice Katju expresses deep concern that despite appeals made to the Chief Minister, his government, and the MLAs from his party and its allies, the issue has allegedly been met with indifference and apathy. The lack of action in addressing this problem is deemed a grave offense, as it directly impacts the lives and ambitions of these talented youngsters. Justice Katju does not mince words, holding the Chief Minister and his government directly responsible for this “crime” against the students of Malappuram.
The former Supreme Court Judge goes on to highlight that he personally discussed the matter with Mr. Shamsheer, the Speaker of the Kerala Legislative Assembly and an MLA of the Indian Union Muslim League (IUML), during the conference. This indicates that the issue has gained attention and concern among various political figures within the state.
In his email, Justice Katju firmly calls upon Chief Minister Vijayan to urgently address this admissions crisis or face the demand for his resignation. He warns of dire consequences for the government if a satisfactory response is not received promptly, criticizing what he perceives as incompetence on their part.
Conclusion:
The failure of the Kerala government to tackle the Class 10 admissions crisis in Malappuram has sparked outrage, with Justice Katju and concerned stakeholders highlighting the dire consequences faced by talented students. As their dreams hang in the balance, the government’s alleged inaction has led to public condemnation and demands for immediate intervention. The future of these aspiring engineers, doctors, scientists, and IT experts remains uncertain until a resolution is reached. It remains to be seen whether Chief Minister Vijayan and his government will take swift action to address the issue or face further backlash from the public and concerned parties.
