Tripura schools to follow the NCERT curriculumEducation Minister Ratan Lal Nath said that the Tripura Government has decided to adopt the curriculum as prescribed by the NCERT over the curriculum prescribed by the State Council of Educational Research and Training (SCERT). Education board of Tripura, Tripura Board of Secondary Education (TBSE), is currently following the SCERT prescribed curriculum but it has not yielded the desired results and therefore the government has decided to switch to the NCERT curriculum. This will give a boost to the state education system. "It is more likely that CBSE pattern syllabus and tabulation system will be followed at the school level for better outputs," he said. "A six-member expert committee headed by former Vice-Chancellor of Tripura Central University Prof Arunoday Saha has been constituted to prepare a roadmap for adopting NCERT curriculum. Once the committee submits its finding, the government will take an appropriate decision," Nath said. The education minister also told that two officials of SCERT had gone to the NCERT in Delhi to discuss the way to adopt the NCERT curriculum and soon will submit a report on the same. He further said that the government wants to adopt the curriculum at the earliest. source https://www.brainbuxa.com/education-news/tripura-schools-to-follow-the-ncert-curriculum-8353

"Lessons that a child imbibes in the school that may not be formally tested in the board examination, but these are the lessons of culture, character, compassion and courage. The child who internalizes these values will always be sensitive towards the world outside," he said. Kovind was present on the inauguration ceremony of the Sadhu Vaswani International School at Sadhu Vaswani Mission. He also took a moment to reflect on the contributions of some of the great people from Pune such as Mahatma Phule, Savitribai Phule, M G Ranade, Bal Gangadhar Tilak and Gopal Ganesh Agarkar in the field of education. "Each one of them placed an emphasis on education, the culture of discussion rather than that of dispute, and of addressing the disagreement while being mindful of the other person's dignity," he said. "Pune has been a center of education for Maharashtra and for the country. The story of modern India owes much to the educational, reformist and progressive ideas that have flowed from this city and for which our nation is truly appreciative," the president said. He also shed the light on the efforts of the Sadhu Vaswani and described him as one of the greatest nation builders who taught everyone how to prevent the cultural background with the techniques of the modern science. Other than Kovind other remarkable leaders who were present on the occasion were BJP patriarch Lal Krishna Advani, Maharashtra Governor K Vidyasagar Rao, Union HRD Minister Prakash Javadekar and Dada J P Vaswani. Kovind also unveiled the statue of the Ramabai Ambedkar, who was the wife of Babasaheb Ambedkar. "Like Babasaheb, Ramabai also contributed towards the eradication of untouchability and social equality. Her life is inspirational for every Indian woman," he said. source https://www.brainbuxa.com/education-news/cross-culture-discussions-not-dispute-are-necessary-for-the-societys-growth-kovind-8350 Self-defense for females: Simple tactics Every Woman should knowTime today is bad and both men and women face an equal chance of getting attacked and assaulted.
