Leh, June 25, 2010 In a follow up to the open conference at Leh Polo ground, the All Ladakh Students Joint Action Committee took out a rally that aimed at providing the message to the people of Ladakh for a better education system and a prosperous culture of education in Ladakh. With a successful participation of around thousand students from various private schools in Leh, the rally commenced from Women Alliance office and passing through Leh market to Council Secretariat it ended at Polo ground. The rally concluded the days of activities undertaken by the All Ladakh Students Joint Action Committee that includes the above mentioned conference and campaigns in villages across the length and breadth of Ladakh.

The students also presented a memorandum at the DC’s office calling for urgent consideration in the matter of education highlighting some of vital issues like establishment of central university and B. Ed. College in Ladakh, transparency in the teacher transfer system and an overall efficient education system in Ladakh with special emphasis on government schools.

Once again the apathetic attitude shown by the CEC, LAHDC by not addressing the rally and instead attending a function at Matho made the students announce that the local administration takes no interest in giving education the prime priority. Also students from Leh govt. schools were not made available in the rally despite the letter of order from the CEO of the district. Withstanding such discouraging responses the students are strongly committed to strive ceaselessly towards a much better education system in Ladakh making wisdom the guiding principle of Ladakh.
