Tripura schools to adopt NCERT curriculumState Minister Ratan Lal Nath said “An expert panel has recommended that the Tripura government should adopt National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) curriculum for schools in Tripura”. The panel also suggested to implementing Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) syllabus across all government and government-aided schools. The recommendation was given by a six-member expert committee and suggested to implement CBSE syllabus in schools in order to ease down the burden of books on the children. The committee was headed by Tripura University Vice-Chancellor Professor Arunoday Saha. Arunoday Saha said “we have collected inputs from fifty headmasters and from students of different schools for one month, and after analyzing the data, we have come to the inference that the CBSE syllabus could be implemented from the first to eighth standard from January 2019 as books were already translated in Bengali. For the implementation of the new course from classes 8 to 12, we have to wait for one more year (2020) for two reasons. One is that, the CBSE has decided to revise their syllabus next year (2019), and the books need to be translated into Bengali and local tribal language Kokbarak.” Ratan Lal Nath said that the final decision whether to implement the suggestions of the committee or not will be in the hands of the government. The bad performance of the schools in the Madhyamik examinations conducted by Tripura Board of Secondary Examination (TBSE) this year is another reason why the committee has recommended NCERT syllabus in the schools, Saha said. This year, the pass percentage of the students in the Madhyamik exams were only 59.59 percent. source https://www.brainbuxa.com/education-news/tripura-schools-to-adopt-ncert-curriculum-8462 JKBOSE Leh division 2018 results of class 10 declaredJKBOSE has declared the results of Class 10 bi-annual (Leh division) exams on its official website.

The DUTA condemned the government’s plan and said that this will only increase the government’s direct interference in the working of the educational institutes. “The present structure is being completely replaced without providing a detailed study of its founding goals, achievements, its shortcomings and their possible reasons and corrective measures taken or required to improve the health of the UGC. Even as the government had to shelve proposal of creating HEERA because of opposition received, dismantling of the UGC to create a new agency looks like a quick desperate step in the same direction,” DUTA said in a statement. "Under the leadership of PM @narendramodi has embarked on a process of reforms of the regulatory agencies for the better administration of the HE sector (sic). In a landmark decision, a draft Act for repeal of #UGC & setting up #HECI (Higher Education Commission of India) has been prepared," Union HRD Minister Prakash Javadekar tweeted today. According to the draft, the new commission will only focus on the academic matters. "Less government and more governance, separation of grant functions, end of inspection raj, focus on academic quality, powers to enforce compliance to the academic quality standards and to order the closure of sub-standard and bogus institutions are some of the highlights of the new act," the draft says. The DUTA opposed the government’s plan and said that how the shifting of the grants function to the Ministry will reduce government’s interference in the educational institutes in fact, we fear that this will further increase their interference. "There seems to be an attempt to corporatize education sector by focusing on homogeneous, one-size-fits-all administrative models and best practices rather than allowing institutions to evolve them over time, based on their specific needs," the statement said. source https://www.brainbuxa.com/education-news/duta-new-higher-education-commission-is-not-in-the-best-interest-of-the-educational-institutes-8457 In 45th ‘Man Ki Baat’ Pm Modi shared how engineers are helping the farmers in BangaloreA few days ago, PM Modi addressed the whole nation through the 45th episode of ‘Mann ki Baat’.
