Chowgule surrenders, but No of admissions not known

GOANEWS DESK, PANAJI | 06 June 2013 14:33 IST

Chowgule management finally surrendered to Goa government, starting on-line admissions for Std XI from today.

However, it is still not clear how many students it would admit.

On the last day of the show cause notice, the Chowgule management yesterday intimated to the education department that they are starting admissions from 6 June.

While issuing a show cause notice asking why the government should not take over its higher secondary section, the education department had even issued admission forms to the students.

“Our admission process stops automatically since Chowgule has started admitting students”, said Anil Powar, additional director of education.

The issue had cropped up since Chowgule management had earlier declared its decision to close down higher secondary section from this year and had not issued admission forms when students approached the authorities.

 

Chief minister Manohar Parrikar, in retaliation, had gone ahead with take-over procedure, by issuing the show cause notice on 29 May.

The education department had even issued over 500 forms for 200 Science seats and 100 Arts seats in Chowgules.

Though admissions have started from today, the management has still not declared number of seats.

“The sanctioned number for Chowgules is four divisions in Science and two divisions in Arts, with 50 students each”, said Powar.

In spite of this, the Chowgule had admitted only 137 students in Science and 80 students in Arts sections last year.

It is still not known how many students Chowgules would admit this year, especially when passed out SSC students have outnumbered the sanctioned quota all over the state.

The online admission procedure however was disturbed since the Chowgule website crashed in the morning and was running extremely slow even after it was restored.

We know chowgule college is one of the best college in Goa. They want to maintain quality in education as well as environment. We feel this management want to take education to next level and change lifestyle of youth. I think we need to encourage, Goverment need to share this responsiblity by taking away HSSC. This step will take goans youth to a next level. I feel people like Sardessai and Damu Naik should come forward in sharing this responsiblity.

If Chowgule wants to discontinue HSSC they should be allowed to do so. They may have some other plans.

Are they obliged to continue with HSSC, even if they don't want to. People like Sardessai or Damu Naik who are making a big political capital out of this issue should start a new HSSC school to fill up the gaps.

The management of Chowgule college should not stop its higher secondary department. It is the best educational institute for the students residing in Salcette area. It has the best infrastructure, teaching staff and above all good environment for studies.

The admission for class eleven should be transparent and the list of students selected on Merit basis should be displayed in college or made public through their website. This year, the number of students seeking admission will be more and they have to fill the quota of all 200 students for science. If they fail to do this, the govt should begin the process overtaking the HS section right now.

I don't know, even if government takes over, how many students will seek the admission and what will be its standard.

I hope the High Court does not allow Chowgule Management to discontinue its higher secondary division.

I feel that Chowgule Management does not want to continue with Higher Secondary division is because most of the science students from this college opt for Professional Courses after 12th. So they opt for BSc or other courses. Students from other colleges seek admission for these courses.

They should not shut down this section until and unless, there is an alternative available in surrounding areas.
