Amritsar, November 11

The decision of the Punjab Education Department to conduct term examinations of all classes from November 26 to December 9, has received resistance from Democratic Teacher’s Front (DTF).

Terming the multiple term examinations as “unnecessary disruption to classroom teaching”, the DTF members, who mostly comprise of teachers from government schools, said the students were being diverted from education by repeatedly engaging them in unnecessary examinations, quiz competitions and fairs.

The association demanded that the supplementary exam system must be stopped and proper academic activities should be resumed.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
