In the midst of the integration of Zumba to schools in Kerala, the state Minister of Education in Sivankutty on Sunday, he rejected criticism from some Muslim religious organizations and warned against the community color to educational activities.
“Zumba is a national -recognized sport, and lakes participate in the country,” Sivanku told journalists.
Referring to the comments of some religious groups against the Zumba program, Sivankutta claimed that everyone involved in sport was offended by derogatory notes.
“Those who made such comments should withdraw them and offer a public apology,” he said.
The Zumba program was introduced as part of a campaign of drug awareness in school curriculum.
In Directive, the main Minister Keral Pinarayi Vijayan said that a dance that combines aerobic movements with live music would help reduce stress between schoolchildren and again against the threat of drug abuse among young people.
The program caused support and criticism from the entire political spectrum.
Since this academic year, many schools have started offering Zumba training. However, some Muslim organizations came up against the government’s decision.
The Minister clarified the position of the left government in this matter by attending a performance Zumba on Sunday, which took place in front of the state secretariat organized by the program supporters.
He also said: “All decisions concerning academic and non -referring activities in schools are made by the elected government. No one else is entitled to issue such orders.”
“The government is ready for discussion if there are any doubts about the decisions they have taken. The transfer of municipal colors to affairs that are clearly understood by all and such a statement is against the secularism of the earth-it cannot be accepted,” he added.
In the case of examination planning, the Minister warned against disproportionate requirements.
“The tests cannot be prevented on the basis of any preferences. Only real reasons will be considered for overwhelming,” Sivanku said.
