'Jai Telangana' slogans in answer sheets!

It appears ‘Aal izz not well’ insofar as the academic future of the high school students of Nizamabad district is concerned. As if boycotting the exams wasn’t enough, some of the students who took the test went to the extent of writing “Jai Telangana” slogans in their answer scripts and left the exam halls in a huff.

Students of government and private high schools boycotted their half-yearly examinations in support of the ongoing movement for separate Telangana in the district on Monday. But what’s shocking was that a majority of the students who wrote the exam repeated ‘Jai Telangana’ slogans in the answer papers, flung them in the examination centres and left shouting slogans in support of separate Telangana even as teachers looked on helplessly.

A student of Modern Public School in Nizamabad summed up their anger. “We did it for the cause of separate Telangana which has been hanging fire for over fifty years. The government has dragged the issue far too long,” he said not wanting to be named.

In fact, district education officer P Bucchanna in a late night order told the school managements to conduct the half-yearly exams from Tuesday for the students of first to 10th classes. The exams were initially slated between Jan 2 and 8 but were postponed to Jan 18 to 23 because of the continued unrest.

Not only students, even teachers at several schools boycotted the exams. Ironically, the government suspended the DEO on Tuesday evening for “failing” to conduct the exams properly.
