Abstract
The present paper tries to highlight the basic factors which are responsible for the deterioration of education in the Kashmir valley. Kashmir Valley is the conflict zone; it has crossed decades of violence, unrest, confusion, chaos and Human Rights Violation. It is an unsettled conflict between two neighboring countries. On the one hand India claims Kashmir is its integral part and on the other hand Pakistan professes it belongs to them. Actually from 1947 when India and Pakistan divided their borders on the basis of two Nation theory, this unfortunate territory of Kashmir was under dispute. Since then these two nations could not bring any political settlement to Kashmir issue; then this problem was brought under UN Consideration, but still unsolved. It means history is the witness of uncertainty, and social and political turmoil in Kashmir. Fact is that, from the last uprising (which is post Burhan martyrdom) it witnessed that youth of the valley are not only careless about their future settlement or education but also does not give value and significance to their lives. The researcher has gone through the evidence of 2016 unrest and interacted with some great academicians of Kashmir valley. He came to know that everything in Kashmir valley including schools and all other educational institutions were closed for the period of six months. The students could not even attend 30% of classes, their syllabus was not completed and still they manage to pass their exams with good grades as compared to previous years. It was a so called great move taken by department of education that the syllabus for examination was reduced and the evaluators were guided to become lenient during evaluation. In conclusion the study reveals that the students were promoted to advanced classes but without knowing the basics of previous classes. It will obviously deteriorate the education of Kashmir division. Those students will hardly be able to compete with the students of other division of the state. Hence this uncertainty, curfew and unrest lead to downfall and demise to the society.
