Staff Reporter GUWAHATI: The Assam Higher Secondary Education Council (AHSEC) is going to carry out a drive against a section of junior colleges that are being run without permission in the State. The Council has already formed a committee for the proposed drive. Addressing a press conference at his office here on Monday, AHSEC Chairperson Dayananda Borgohain said: “Therere reports in a section of the media that some junior colleges in the State are being run without any permission. Such reports have made it imperative to conduct such a drive. Weve already formed a committee for an investigation into the matter.” Borgohain also said: “Were contemplating on doing away with the system of alternative English. Theres general English thats compulsory for all students. It so happens that many students take Alternative English instead of Modern Indian Languages (MIL). This makes them read two English language subjects at the cost of their own tongues. This is unfortunate. Were going to take the consent of all stakeholders, including the Axam Xahitya Xabha (AXX), All Assam Students Union (AASU), universities and educationists on this issue. Were going to collect 5,000 signatures on queries with options of responses limited to yes and no on this issue from colleges and higher secondary schools. Were also going to discuss the issue of the system of ten merit list in HS examinations through seminars.” Also Read: Lack of Expertise Hits SEBA & AHSEC To Adopt On Screen Marking (OSM) System Also Watch: Two judicial court buildings inaugurated in Bokajan in Karbi Anglong
