MARGAO: It was late afternoon and the news spread like wild fire that finally demand for MOI in English is accepted by the government. For some, it was a dream comes true, others said it was just a far cry to believe. But by late evening, the wind was clear and was confirmed as the news flashed everywhere. Parents thundered in applause much before the finer details were revealed and known to them. After all, it was a victory for a just demand by the parents for the future of their siblings.
Niz Goenkar took the opportunity to call on Savio Lopes and conveyed the feelings of the parents. Savio spoke on line and accepted the good wishes of the people in general and that of NG and said will convey it to his team. He refused to accept the theory that it was due to FORCE but reiterated that it was due to the interest, dedication and presence shown by different people as individuals, organisations and the parents who were the major stake holders. He said that he and his team were just instruments in moving the cause forward. The real winners are the parents who demonstrated the power for a real change, who came out on the streets and forced the government to do the just.
Savio commended NG for standing up with FORCE and the people of Goa and said that NG is doing a tremendous job of exposing corrupt people and educating the real Goans.
NG takes this opportunity to reassure all social organizations in Goa that we will stand for social causes, fight corruption and expose the wrong doings of the government for the welfare of Goa. We stood thin and thick with FORCE, the parents and NG’s opinion is that those parents who stayed away too will benefit with the new decision.

What is FROCE? Is the Editor checking the spellings of commentors or just going ahead with the "Go Ahead" attitude???
ReplyDelete" I DON'T WANT TO OPEN THE PANDORA'S BOX "LUIZINHO FALEIRO USED TO REPEATEDLY SAY WHEN WHEN CONFRONTED WITH THE QUESTION OF ENGLISH AS MOI. ALL POLITICIANS ARE SCARED. IN FACT ALL POLITICIANS FROM THIER HEART WANT ENGLISH. IT IS ONLT THEIR ELECTION EQUATIONS THAT SOME HAVE TO SAY OTHERWISE.
ReplyDeleteIN THE END IT TOOK THE PEOPLES MOVEMENT TO DO IT.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME SAVIO, YOUR EFFORTS SHALL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN.
It is not the victory of any political party or any politician. but collectively victory of all Goan Parents and Student.......................Cheers!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteFORCE, well understood! You did it and real FORCE
ReplyDeleteWell done Savio,You took the lead and got the rightful demands of each and every parent and the student community met, at a time when our Politicians were just busy running to the center to meet their own selfish personal needs or just giving a deaf ear to the desperate calls made by the parents.I hope now FORCE will be a force to reckon with and more issues to the cause of our motherland will be taken up. Congratulations to the entire team, parents, students, NZ who backed this motion and gained positive results. (Our illiterate, power hungry,selfish, politicians in power shame upon you for not being able to stand up on your feet to resolve this issue)
ReplyDeleteHi DLP:
ReplyDeleteHere is my explaination of FORCE.
It is a double edged sword.
1 "edge" of the sword, is the Parents that FORCED the Govt to provide grants to schools for English MOI.
and the other edge is.....
F.O.R.C.E,which is the other sharp edge that organised the demand.
Hi GOBOR:
ReplyDeleteThese days Goan Politicians are not afraid of the TRUE GOAN (NIZ GOENKARS).
The fear the Ghantis and migrants who are their vote banks.
However I have heard that of a lot of Ghantis and migrants, too, want to give their children education in English.
They see this as a way forward...not backward as the likes of Shahhikala Kakodkar and her motley crew of nutcases & Geriatrics (old & infirm in thought ,proccess & progress).
YES MGP IDEOLOGY IS RETROGADE
ReplyDeleteWHEN SHE WAS THE CM SHE ENCOURAGED DIOCESAN SCHOOLS TO UPGRADE TO HIGHER SECONDARIES. THE BIG BAMONS FROM BORDA OBJECTED TO HOLY SPIRIT SCHOOL BEING ELEVATED BECAUSE THEY WERE SCARED THAT THE GAVDA COMMUNITY FROM BORDA WILL GET EDUCATED AND THERE WILL BE NO ONE TO WORK. YEARS LATER WE HAVE 90 PER CENT MIGRANT GHANTIS FROM GANDHI MARKET , FAKIRBAND AND MONTE HILL IN CHURCH SCHOOLS. GOANS AND MORE SO CATHOLICS ARE PATRONISING MANOVIKAS AND VIDYA VIKAS.
CASTE POLITICS HAD PLAYED A LARGE HIDDEN ROLE THOSE DAYS. NOW WE SEE THE VELIPS HAVE REVOLTED. MORE IS LIKELY TO COME.
Let the FORCE be physical and bring tremendous change in Goa's political system. God bless Savio and your dedicated team. Let the donkeys , Monkeys of Goa's politic praise their own tails.
ReplyDeleteBARVO! Savio Lopes from Chinchinim and the Parental Right prevails.
ReplyDeleteI telephoned my relations & some friends in Goa today.
ReplyDeleteThey were all very jubilant that English will now be taught in primary schools.
This must be considered an asset to the childs early multi-lingual development.
The children of my relations, and many friends, all speak Konkani & English too very fluently.
I am proud of them.
down with the BBSm and their crazy ideas & expertise on education.
WELL DONE, savo lopes and his team you gave us VICTORY ,by giving every poor child the right to study in english GOD BLESS YOU ALL ,THANKS
