State revises timetable for Std 1 & 2; Art & PE hrs restored
Mumbai: The Maharashtra state government has released a revised timetable for classes 1 and 2, dropping the controversial proposal to make Hindi mandatory. The new schedule mandates only Marathi and English as compulsory languages and introduces an 'Additional Enrichment Period' aimed at providing academic support through remedial teaching, skill development, or preparation for competitive exams. The move comes after backlash over the June 18 circular, prompting the State Council of Educational Research and Training (SCERT) to roll back many of its earlier changes. Art and Physical Education, which had seen their annual hours slashed to 81 and 40, respectively, in the earlier version, have now been restored to 122 and 61 hours. Additionally, class session durations have been aligned with National Curriculum Framework (NCF) norms, increased to 45–60 minutes from the previously proposed 35–45 minutes. Though the state has provided a model weekly timetable, schools retain flexibility in organising the daily order of subjects and start and end times. However, they are not permitted to reduce the total weekly or annual instructional hours.

Mahendra Ganpule, former head of the Maharashtra School Principals' Association, warned, "With schools operating in two shifts, children may end up leaving as late as 6:45pm. That's too late — especially with city traffic and rural safety concerns after sunset." The new timetable will be implemented for Std 1 from the academic year 2025–26. For Std 2, the rollout will be contingent on the printing of new textbooks.

Struggling To Speak English? These 10 Practical Tips Actually Work
Speaking English confidently opens doors to global careers, smooth business interactions, and richer social experiences. Whether you're aiming for a role in an MNC or simply want to communicate more effectively, these ten strategies will help you sharpen your spoken English skills. 1. Master the Basics of Grammar A solid grasp of basic grammar gives structure to your sentences and boosts your confidence. Focus on common tenses (present, past, future), subject-verb agreement, and simple sentence patterns. Over time, correct grammar will become second nature. 2. Start Speaking-Even If It Feels Awkward Don't wait until you feel perfect. Begin by talking to yourself in English: describe your day, narrate what you're doing, or even read aloud. The more you speak, the more natural it becomes. Remember, mistakes are part of learning. 3. Read Regularly to Build Vocabulary Reading books, news articles, or blogs in English exposes you to new words and phrases in context. When you come across unfamiliar words, note them down and look up their meanings. A richer vocabulary makes it easier to express ideas when speaking. 4. Keep a Daily Journal Writing short entries in English helps you organise your thoughts and improves your ability to articulate them out loud. Try describing a memorable event or summarizing an article you read. Writing and speaking reinforce each other. 5. Listen Actively Immerse yourself in English by listening to podcasts, audiobooks, or news broadcasts. Pay attention to pronunciation, intonation, and rhythm. Repeating what you hear will train your ear and tongue to produce more natural speech. 6. Join an English-Speaking Group Find or form a conversation circle-online or in your community-where everyone practices speaking English. Regular group discussions create a supportive space to try new vocabulary and receive feedback. 7. Leverage Technology and Apps Apps connect you with language partners and interactive exercises. Use pronunciation tools and speech-recognition features to get real-time feedback on your spoken English. 8. Watch Movies and TV Shows Watching content in English (with subtitles at first) helps you learn everyday phrases and cultural expressions. Try mimicking actors' lines to practice pronunciation and intonation. News channels are also great for formal vocabulary. 9. Use a Dictionary Daily Make it a habit to learn at least one new word each day. Note its pronunciation, meaning, and usage. Over time, these small steps significantly expand your active vocabulary. 10. Practice Consistently Language skills grow with regular practice. Set aside 15-20 minutes daily to speak, listen, read, or write in English. Consistency beats cramming-steady effort leads to lasting fluency. By combining these ten tips-grammar, speaking, reading, writing, listening, group practice, technology, media, vocabulary building, and routine practice-you'll see steady improvement in your spoken English.
