Earlier, JNUSU had alleged that JNU is forcing the students to study Hindi by making it a compulsory subject. Amid all the allegations, JNU said that all such allegations are false and misinformation is being circulated in order to defame the name of the university. JNU also said that such statements are "undesirable and condemnable" and clarified that university has not taken any such decision. "Universities are autonomous bodies and any decision to teach any particular subject is up to them. There is no compulsion," said UGC Secretary Rajnish Jain. "The idea behind the letter sent to universities in October 2018 was to seek suggestions about the teaching of Hindi in universities and not to mandate it," Jain said. CPI(M) allegations on the UGC The CPI(M) has also alleged that efforts to push Hindi as a compulsory subject will create problems among the other linguistic groups and can affect the unity of the country. Earlier, through the New Education Policy, the government has tried to make Hindi as a compulsory subject in non-Hindi speaking states but the same was strongly opposed by the southern states and a result government issued a revised draft of the New Education Policy. via Education and Job Portal https://www.brainbuxa.com/education-news/ugcs-reply-to-jnusu-universities-can-teach-any-particular-subject-9534 NEET 2019 counseling: MCC released the date for the counseling resultAfter the extension of the registration dates of the NEET counseling, the Medical Counseling Committee has released the complete schedule of the NEET counseling.

But all this gender biased content is about to be removed. Keeping with the changes in modern society, Balbharti, the state curriculum board, has changed most of the illustrations in the textbooks to present women in more progressive light of the present day. The official said that the new textbooks aim to do away with the gender biased content. An official from the board said “The Maharashtra State Bureau of Textbook Production and Curriculum Research wants to break the stereotypes and has incorporated illustrations and stories of men and women sharing household chores in the revised textbooks of Class II”. In one of the illustrations, both men and women are showing cleaning the vegetables while in another a woman is shown doctor and in one more such illustration, a woman has been depicted as traffic cop managing the traffic. On one page a male chef has been shown and students have been asked to write a few lines about it. Through several such illustrations, students and teachers have been asked to take note of the changes such as women as a doctor and pilot and a male chef and discuss them in the class. Sunil Magar, Director at Balbharati, said that the pictures depict that both men and women are equal and both can do any work. "We here at Balbharati give emphasis on experiments.While drafting the new textbooks, especially for the young ones, we need to see that the content in the textbooks is abreast with structures and changes in the society," he said. via Education and Job Portal https://www.brainbuxa.com/education-news/maharashtra-government-revised-school-textbooks-to-remove-gender-biased-content-9509 Registrations for the UGMAC 2019 exam beginsThe online registrations for the Under Graduate Medical Admission Counselling (UGMAC) 2019 counseling have begun.

In a response to a question which asked if there has been a steep decline in Indian students seeking admissions in the UK universities, Minister of State for External Affairs V Muraleedharan said according to the UK official source - the Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA), the number of Indian students in UK Universities has decreased from 40,470 in 2009-10 to 16,559 in 2016-17. The decline in the number of Indian students in UK universities can be attributed to many factors and some of them are withdrawal of post-study work visa, tightening of English proficiency requirements, comparatively costlier higher education in the UK, opening up of new opportunities in countries like Canada, Australia and New Zealand as well as the opening of new global universities in India which are now attracting Indian talent which earlier used to go abroad. Mr Muraleedharan said “Issues relating to Indian students have been consistently raised by India in all bilateral discussions with the UK at various levels”. The issue was raised by the MEA with the UK Home Office in a meeting on January 16, 2019. It was again raised by the foreign secretary on May 10, 2019 with the British counterpart during India-UK Foreign Office Consultations, he said. The same issue was raised again during the meeting between secretary (CPV&OIA), MEA and the second permanent secretary in the UK Home Office on May 14, 2019. via Education and Job Portal https://www.brainbuxa.com/education-news/uk-universities-are-being-less-preferred-by-the-indian-students-9535 |
