Addressing a press conference in Srinagar, PSAJK President Baba Nazrul Islam said the present situation demands “clarity, consistency and long-term planning,” emphasising that private schools—described by him as the backbone of J&K’s education ecosystem—must be supported through a fair and transparent regulatory framework.

“We need policies that are predictable, scientific and secure for the future of our children,” he said. “Private schools cannot function under uncertainty. They require stability to deliver quality education.”

Islam highlighted the need to upgrade JKBOSE textbooks to national and international standards, while ensuring that the Board receives adequate funding for the purpose.
