GREETINGS IN THE NAME OF KERALA INDEPENDENT SCHOOLS' ASSOCIATION
Dear Friends,
"This is a small step for me, but a giant leap for mankind". This statement of Niel Amstrong on the moon has inspired millions through many decades. Any big venture begins with a small step. As our president Fr.George Nedumkallel has mentioned in his introductory statement, we also had a diffident step, but our achievements have been many. Ours was a long journey and we could stride over all our difficulties. The ardent efforts of our secretary Mani Subrhamanian and our committee members produced excellent results. Almost all our members got NOC and affiliation, after marathon struggle.
Now it is time for consolidation and we have no space for relaxation. We face new problems every day. CBSE/ICSE education was a distant dream for parents and students in the past. The rich class mkigrated to Ootty and Kodaikkanal. But in the wake of a renaissance in Kerala, CBSE/ICSE schools were started by enterprising educationists in all nook and corner in our State. Even very poor children could afford to study in such institutions.And today these schools are seen as enemies both by the Government and the people. We have to analyse the reasons. There is a concerted effort to malign the great acheivements and contributions of dedicated managers and thousands of teachers who toiled hard to develop these band of schools.
It is time for us to unite and uphold our values. Let us all march forward to a better phase of promising education for our children. We will highlight various issues in these pages hereafter.
"Tomorrow to fresh woods and pastures new".
