Govt school teachers can swap transfers now
Patna: Teachers at govt schools in the state can now exchange their transferred schools with each other. A group of at least two and up to 10 teachers from the same category can form a group and mutually transfer between those schools. Additional chief secretary of the department, S Siddharth, issued a letter to all district education officers on Thursday regarding this. All teachers of the same group, such as regularly appointed teachers, special teachers from the special teacher category and school teachers from the school teacher category and subject-wise, like mathematics with mathematics, physics with physics and chemistry with chemistry, will be able to mutually transfer between schools. According to the letter, this provision will be available from July 10 till the end of the month. The secretariat will not intervene in this arrangement. All teachers or teacher groups in the state can directly obtain mutual transfers through the E-Shiksha Kosh portal. As per the process, teachers can log in to E-Shiksha Kosh and view the list of teachers interested in transfer within their district. They can view the list of interested teachers for transfer in their subject and category, including panchayat, block, district and division. In this process, any teacher can select up to 10 teachers who are interested in mutual transfer. The mobile numbers of the concerned teachers will be obtained through OTP verification, through which they can contact them and choose their desired school. The transfer application will be submitted through the portal. The transfer order will be issued within three days after applying through OTP on the portal. After the transfer order is issued, teachers will have to join their selected school within seven days. If any teacher in the group refuses to join, the transfer order of all teachers within the group will be cancelled. The new provision of transfer was introduced in response to dissatisfaction among teachers with their previous transfers. It also addresses issues where some schools had teachers transferred out without any new postings, leading to adverse effects on educational functioning and student learning.

Summer camp brings joyful learning to children in state
1 2 Patna: The statewide summer camp, 'Camaal ka Camp', is using innovative learning approaches such as Teaching at the Right Level (TaRL) and accelerated learning techniques to equip children with key foundational skills for upper primary education. Organised by the department of education in collaboration with an NGO, the camp is running successfully across the state. Launched on June 2 and scheduled to continue until June 20, the initiative is aimed at strengthening literacy and mathematical understanding. It is open to students entering grades V and VI as well as those in grades IV to VII who wish to participate. According to an official press release, the programme aligns with the goals of the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 by promoting peer tutoring and community participation. Youth volunteers are actively engaging with children in their local neighbourhoods to support their learning. The initiative is being led under the guidance of S Siddharth, additional chief secretary, department of education. "The summer camp is a joyful and meaningful way to prepare our children for the new academic year. It is heartening to see how storytelling and play-based learning have turned classrooms and communities into spaces of fun and learning," Siddharth said. As part of the initiative, Dr Rukmini Banerji, CEO of the NGO, visited two participating schools — Kankarbagh Middle School and Babuganj Middle School in Gulzarbagh — on Saturday. She interacted with children who were learning mathematics through everyday examples like tea, saris, pulses and rice. She also listened to a story written by the children titled Nani Ka Ghar. More than 1,42,788 youth volunteers have registered with the NGO for the camp. Each volunteer leads a small group of 8-10 children, conducting 1.5-hour learning sessions either in the morning or evening. Every day, they receive a maths-based audio story via an instant messaging platform, along with a booklet of games and activities, helping children learn through stories, play and conversation.
