ESMA invokes on account of upcoming UP Board examsOn the account of upcoming board exams in Uttar Pradesh, the UP government has invoked the Essential Services Maintenance Act (ESMA) which bans all the strikes in all the services related to the secondary education board for the next six months. The government took the decision as the exams are approaching and strikes can affect its smooth functioning. Exams for class 10 and 12 will commence from February 7. The exams for class 12 will end on March 2, 2019 and for class 10 they will end on February 29. “In public interest, any strike in services related to secondary education board has been banned for six months,” an official release said. According to the reports, more than 58 lakh students will appear for the Uttar Pradesh Madhmik Shiksha Parishad (UPMSP) this year. Last year, the government had deployed the Special Task Force (STF) of UP to keep a check on education mafia in UP and prevent any malpractices during the exam. This year also, it is expected that the government will deploy CCTV cameras and mobile jammers at the exam centers to prevent cheating during the exams. via Education and Job Portal https://www.brainbuxa.com/education-news/esma-invokes-on-account-of-upcoming-up-board-exams-9086

Helping students think rationally should be the main aim of the education systemOn Wednesday, Vice President M Venkaiah Naidu urged to re-orient the education system which can help the students learn to think in rational and independent terms. This will enable the students to face the challenges of the world which are getting complex day by day. "An education which balances the head, heart, body, and spirit alone can be called a truly holistic education. The child should not only be able to acquire and absorb knowledge but should also be able to apply the knowledge in real life situation," said Mr. Naidu. He interacted with the students of Kendriya Vidyalaya, and other schools from Tamil Nadu at Upa-Rashtrapati Bhavan and recalled that India has a great tradition of 'Guru Shishya Parampara' in which teachers and students used to engage in a constant dialogue. "Such great tradition should be reflected in our modern education system. These discussions were recorded and have been handed down to us from the ancient past in the form of Upanishads," he added. Mr.. Naidu said that schools’ learning system should allow students to enjoy the schooling and help them in making life-long learners. Mr.. Naidu said that real learning takes place only through "observation", "reading", "discussion", "reflection", "analysing" and "synthesizing”. Mr.. Naidu also urged that teachers should go beyond the teaching academics and help them develop skills which they can use to navigate through the complex modern world. He also urged parents to interact with their children and understand their issues as this will prevent them from falling into depression. via Education and Job Portal https://www.brainbuxa.com/education-news/helping-students-think-rationally-should-be-the-main-aim-of-the-education-system-9085 Under EWS, IIT-Delhi to increase its seats by 12.5 percentThe Indian Institute of Technology Delhi (IIT-D) has decided to increase its seats by 12.5 percent this year and by the same percentage in the following year in order to implement the EWS quota for the Upper caste group of the society. The HRD ministry has already asked all the universities and institutes of the nation to implement the new EWS quota from the new academic session and finalize its implementation plan by the March 31. “We will increase seats by 12.5 per cent this year and the remaining the next year. We are supposed to submit our financial requirements regarding this to the government, which we are in the process of doing. The communication has to go to the central JEE coordinating office too, as they need to know the exact number of seats (which will increase),” IIT-D Director V Ramgopal Rao said. He said that funds will be required only to create additional hostel space for the students and classroom space is not an issue. “We roughly have 10,000 students and need to take in 2,500 more students. Our large hostels have a capacity for about 800 students. So we require at least three more hostels. But we don’t have space for new hostels, so we will need to demolish our 50-year-old hostels, which have about 300 seats and make larger hostels,” said Rao. via Education and Job Portal https://www.brainbuxa.com/education-news/under-ews-iit-delhi-to-increase-its-seats-by-125-percent-9084 Career Conclave in Delhi to create awareness about future opportunities among the students1/31/2019 Career Conclave in Delhi to create awareness about future opportunities among the studentsOn Tuesday, Delhi’s Directorate of Education (DoE) inaugurated a state-level career conclave to provide career guidance to the students class 12.
