SSLC blueprints to now include level of questions from each chapter in Karnataka

Time of Indiaa day ago
Bengaluru: To better guide SSLC students, the department of school education and literacy has decided to let the blueprint for question papers also indicate the level of questions that will be asked from each chapter.
"So far, the blueprint published for SSLC only had the number of questions that will come from a particular chapter. But this time, to increase the transparency level in the exam and fix accountability on paper setters, the blueprint will indicate the level of question that is going to come," said a senior official. For example, the blueprint could say there is an average-level one-mark question and a difficult five-mark question from a chapter.
The department has also decided to livestream all the exams — ranging from midterms to the three preparatories — so that students "do not have any apprehensions about the actual conduct of paper". SSLC exams were livestreamed in the past two years to ensure the sanctity of the exam is maintained.

The department has plans to monitor the schools that received zero results in the last two years. The subject-wise performance of students of the schools will be tracked, and if there's no improvement until Sept, the students will be moved to the closest govt school.

Unlike in previous years, this time there will be lesson-based exams after the completion of every chapter. The department of state educational research and training has already published the blueprint for the lesson-based tests that teachers have to conduct.
These are part of 45 remedial measures the school education department is taking to improve SSLC results. There are separate guidelines being issued for other grades too.

Activists: Will move court over action against pigeon feeding sites

Mumbai: Upset with the BMC action against kabutarkhanas in the city, several activists have accused govt of not showing compassion towards pigeons. Jawahar Mehta and Sandeep Doshi, representatives of the Jain community who live near Dadar kabutarkhana, said that they will move court against the demolition of pigeon-feeding sites. "I visit the century-old Dadar kabutarkhana every day, but have never suffered from any respiratory issue. Dirty politics is at play... We have no other option but to go to court," said Doshi. "Has the National Centre for Disease Control or any other authority declared that pigeons are harmful to humans? We suspect that builders may be eyeing the space created by destroying kabutarkhanas..." Honorary representative of the Animal Welfare Board of India, Mitesh Jain claimed the "anti-pigeon stand has been taken to appease animal haters just before the BMC elections". "Supreme Court had issued directions to all states and union territories in the 2009 SLP petition of AWBI v/s Nagaraja & others, that the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act must be adhered to in India. Disturbing bird-feeding sites or denying them food is animal cruelty," added Jain.

A PETA India member commented: "A review of studies and literature shows that the risk of pigeons spreading diseases to humans is extremely low. On the other hand, badly caged poultry birds and farm animals raised for meat in dirty conditions cause serious illnesses like bird flu and other zoonotic pathogens. So, govt should stop targeting pigeons."

Mumbai: Little schoolboys and girls dressed in dhoti-kurta and nine yard saris with garlands of tulsi leaves made a pretty picture as they led processions dressed as Lord Vitthal and his consort Rukmini along the streets of Dadar on Friday. The Maharashtrian festival of Ashadhi Ekadashi is scheduled Sunday July 6. Celebrations began at Navami Friday with palkhi processions across Mumbai, Thane and Navi Mumbai. Vitthal temples across Sion, Wadala, Bandra, Andheri, Kandivli, Dahisar and Borivli are planning elaborate festivities. The main ceremony in Pandharpur where the CM usually officiates with his wife, will be telecast live on Doordarshan Sahyadri at 2.00 am on the intervening night of Saturday-Sunday. The city's dabbawallahs, many of whom belong to the Warkari clan, are heading for the annual pilgrimage to Pandharpur and will not deliver tiffins Monday July 7, said union leader Subhash Talekar.

Kids negotiate risky caved-in bridge to reach school in Khunti

1 2 3 Ranchi: For scores of children and their parents, the road to school in the adjoining Khunti district is a risk-filled journey these days. While kids sit on their parents' backs to first climb a 25-foot-high makeshift ladder to get atop a caved-in bridge, grown-ups undertake this daily adventure on their own for the onward journey. The reason? The lone bridge, known as Pelol Bridge, which connects to their school, was washed away in mid-June. With no alternate road so far, hundreds are left with no other option than to undertake these daredevil stunts to reach school, as the school management also halted bus services due to the broken bridge. Rakesh Munda, the father of a Class 4 student, who studies at a private school a kilometre away from the bridge, said that while a kutcha diversion was prepared by the district administration soon after the bridge caved in, that too was literally washed away during successive rains since then. "Not just for these students, even for the general public living in nearby areas, commuting between both ends has become a daily challenge," he said. Munda, a resident of Torpa block, added, "I know it's risky to travel this way, but my kids won't agree to stay at home. Initially, for two days they missed school, but later they became impatient to resume classes. I have no other option than to take them on my shoulders to climb the ladder to reach the top of the broken bridge, and then walk to the school." by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Ada jeragat, terus nampak tua! Minum ni je, beli kat Guardian URUHIME MOMOKO Undo Another parent from Bisna village said, "With no school buses now, I am driving my son daily from home, 4 km away from here, and park the bike here. Then, we use this ladder put up by locals for daily commute to get onto the bridge for the onward journey." The said bridge, built over the Banai River on the Khunti-Simdega main stretch, is also one of the key connecting roads to neighbouring Odisha. It was built in 2007-08 with an investment of Rs 6 crore. Talking to TOI, staff of Katherine Academy said, "Only in our school, over 100 students are affected due to this broken bridge. People coming from Torpa, Bisna, Angrabari, and beyond have no other option. We had to stop our bus services to these places due to the broken bridge," she said. The area falls under Murhu block. Local block development officer, Ranjit Kumar Sinha, acknowledged the problems but said that a permanent solution will take time. He said, "I too have learnt about people scaling the risky bridge for commute and have requested the local thana to keep patrolling to avert any mishaps or deter people from doing so. A diversion was created as an alternate route from nearby the bridge. Construction of a permanent bridge involves lots of clearances, but the rural development department is learnt to have already sanctioned a new bridge worth around Rs 3 crore. "
