Self-discipline is at the core of Saidapet Government School's values
The Saidapet Government Model Higher Secondary School is buzzing with energy. In one corner, preparations are under way for the lunch break, while elsewhere, students can be heard reciting the alphabet. A whistle blows in the distance as the physical education teacher directs a student back to class. 'We had more students a few years ago. The number has dropped since then, but at one point, every classroom was at full strength. We had over 3,000 students in the school at that time. Today, there are 470 students, from kindergarten to class 12,' said Beulah, a Tamil teacher who has been working at the school for the past 25 years. K. David Mano, the principal of the school, adds that admissions have increased recently. 'Our school is sought-after for sports, from volleyball to throwball. Many parents have now transferred their children from CBSE and matriculation boards to our school because they believe in government schools,' he said. Illustrious past Established in 1904, the Saidapet Government Model Higher Secondary School began as the Saidapet Model High School, which was attached to the Teacher's College located on its premises. According to A Manual of the Madras Government: Chingleput District by Charles Stewart Crole (1879), it was one of the schools in the Madras Presidency that provided middle-class education up to the matriculation standard. The school catered to both boys and girls. 'In 1989, the school came under the control of the School Education Department when it became a higher secondary school and began offering education up to Class 12,' said Ms. Beulah. She also added that, as the school's strength had grown to over 3,000 students, it had to be split, leading to the establishment of a girls' school in the area. Prominent alumni The 129-year-old school boasts prominent alumni, from the second President of India Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, to the current Tamil Nadu Health and Family Welfare Minister Ma. Subramanian. Beaulah notes that over the years, the school has had a significant impact on students' lives, with a strong emphasis on discipline. 'That was the turning point. In the early years, students did not care about what teachers said. But now, we have ensured that they cultivate self-discipline,' she said. She credits the collective responsibility shared by the school community, from parents to teachers, for the enforcement of good behaviour. 'We keep a watchful eye. From inappropriate language to other distractions, we make sure that we are the ones students turn to when they need support. We put in the effort to notice changes in behaviour and follow up. Only when the entire school works together can students truly thrive in the outside world,' she added.

Netarhat school mgmt goes into huddle after poor results
1 2 Ranchi: The executive committee of the prestigious Netarhat Residential School, an autonomous institute under the state govt, has decided to closely monitor the academic performance of those students who failed in Class X and XII CBSE exams in the 2023-24 academic session. During a meeting of the executive committee of the school on Friday, the members said the move was taken for the welfare of the students and their future career. Taking part in the meeting, state school education and literacy minister, Ramdas Soren, said, "Special observation will be undertaken to assess the reasons behind their underperformance and to develop targeted remedial measures for their academic improvement. This measure aims to ensure transparency, accountability and alignment with broader policy directives." The minister also issued a clear directive to ensure that the school conducts academic activities for a minimum of 245 days annually. In the interim period until the appointment of permanent teachers, the govt will open a portal inviting applications from former students of the school who are willing to contribute to the school as teachers. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Đường Trương Đình Hội: Nhà tiền chế lắp đặt chỉ trong 1 ngày (Xem thêm) Nomad's Notebook Nhấp vào đây Undo These alumni teachers will be provided with an honorarium and entrusted with the responsibility of supporting academic activities at the school.

Muharram Holiday 2025: Will schools, colleges and offices be closed on July 6 or 7?
Muharram Holiday 2025: Muharram marks the start of the Islamic New Year. The government has marked July 6, 2025 (Sunday) as the tentative date for Ashura, the 10th day of Muharram. The day commemorates the martyrdom of Imam Hussein, the grandson of the Prophet Muhammad, who died at the Battle of Karbala in 680 AD. Since the Islamic calendar follows the moon, the holiday might shift to July 7 (Monday). If that happens, schools and offices in many states are likely to be closed on Monday instead. States like Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, Telangana, and West Bengal are likely to declare a holiday if Muharram is observed on July 7. The final announcement will be made by local or state authorities based on religious and administrative coordination. Muharram is the first month of the Islamic calendar and one of the holiest times for Muslims. The 10th day, called Ashura, is especially important for Shia Muslims. It remembers the martyrdom of Imam Hussein, the grandson of Prophet Muhammad, who died in the Battle of Karbala in 680 AD. The day is marked by the Muslim community with prayers, religious gatherings, and mourning processions. Most schools in India reopen in early July after summer vacation ends in June. In northern states like Uttar Pradesh, classes have already started. Other than Muharram, there are no major holidays in early July. The CBSE has released the 2025–26 academic calendar, which includes holidays for national festivals, regional events, and seasonal breaks. As per the calendar, Muharram is tentatively marked on July 6 (Sunday), but the date may change. The final holiday date will be confirmed after the moon is sighted. This will decide whether the public holiday falls on July 6 or July 7. (This article has been curated by Disha Gupta, who is an intern with the Indian Express)
