IMPHAL, March 27: In spite of various steps taken up by Government for the development of education sector the authorities of UNACCO continue to have inconsistent admission policy, charged some parents of students of the school.
They said three children were denied admission in the UNACCO School situated at Khongman, Zone- III on the pretext of a dispute between UNACCO and the locals of the area.
Parents and local drew the attention of the State`™s students unions and concern authorities to look into the matter.
In this connection, the parents and locals called a press conference at Manipur Press Club today where Lisam Babita Devi the mother of two children whose admissions were denied stated that since the establishment of UNACCO both her children a son and a girl have been studying in the school.
She said that her son is the topper in his class but without considering this fact the UNACCO refuse to give admission to him on the pretext of a dispute with locals.
She said the attitude of the managing director has given mental harassment to them all and is unacceptable.
She charged that instead of building the career of students they are giving harassment to the students, and added that the students are likely to lose a year on account of this inconsistency of the school.
She said her son is in bad health and this is the reason for denying him admission. If anything happen to her child, the school must be held responsible, she said.
A local alleged that the reason for denying admission is the objections to heavy vehicles passing through Lisam Leirak, Zone III as the Leirak is currently being renovated and heavy vehicles damage the unset road.
The Lisam Leirak was very narrow and in a bad condition some years back but after the contribution of land by the people residing adjacent to Leirak, it has been widened. But without considering the hard labour the school authorities began using the road.
The locals called many meeting to bring an understanding but the school authorities never came, they alleged.
