Pursue hard work and uphold values: Mahana to Board exam toppers
Speaker of Uttar Pradesh Legislative Assembly, Satish Mahana, attended the event as the chief guest. Lakhan Omar, chairman of the Cantonment Board, attended the programme as the Guest of Honour.
The programme began with the traditional lighting of the lamp. Students enthralled the audience with vibrant cultural performances, including dance and music, creating a lively and celebratory atmosphere.

Nag Panchami holiday for all Nagpur schools on July 29
Nagpur: The district education department has directed all schools in Nagpur, including those affiliated with CBSE, to remain closed on July 29 (Tuesday) on account of Nag Panchami. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now In a recent letter, the department asked all heads and administrators of schools in the district to strictly follow the holiday calendar approved earlier this year. This directive came following representations made by the CBSE Schools Staff Welfare Association (CSSWA), which pointed out that some CBSE schools were not declaring the festival as a holiday. District education officer Rohini Kumbhar issued the letter reminding all schools that Nag Panchami is already declared as a school holiday in the official holiday list for the current academic year. Kumbhar noted that her office received several complaints about CBSE schools ignoring the calendar. "In view of these complaints, the directive issued by this office on 14 February 2025 is being reiterated to ensure all schools remain closed on July 29," the letter stated. The circular also asked all block and cluster-level education officers to confirm that schools comply with the holiday and warned that any violations would be taken seriously. The CSSWA, in a detailed letter dated July 23, urged the district administration to ensure uniformity among CBSE schools regarding holidays. "None of the CBSE schools from Nagpur region have declared a holiday on Nag Panchami despite education department directives," said CSSWA president Deepali Dably. Following the education department's latest letter, several CBSE schools in Nagpur have already issued holiday notices to parents and staff, ensuring compliance with the directive for July 29.

Bagless days, 40-mark tests: Task force proposes reforms
Ahmedabad: Less weightage to written exams, bagless days, 40-mark written test, and less administrative work for teachers. These are some of the recommendations made by the task force constituted by the education department to bring a 360-degree transformation to the education system. Compiled after a series of consultations and meetings, and submitted to chief minister Bhupendra Patel, the comprehensive report outlines major changes in school assessment patterns, aiming to align it with the National Education Policy (NEP) and introduce a more inclusive, activity-based, and stress-free evaluation method, officials close to the development said. A key recommendation is to replace the current biannual summative assessment model with a new dual-phase structure — formative assessment in the first term and summative evaluation in the second term. To reduce the overwhelming focus on written exams, the report recommends shifting from a 100% written assessment system to a 40% written and 60% activity-based evaluation model. Activities like co-curricular engagement, sports, vocational training, and art will now play a crucial role in evaluating a student's progress.

For Class 5, the end-of-term exam weightage will increase from 40 to 60 marks, and for Classes 6 to 8, it will be raised to 80 marks. Additionally, the task force has emphasised multi-source assessment. Besides teachers, students will be evaluated by themselves (self-assessment), peers, and even parents. This inclusive model is designed to reduce academic pressure and promote emotional, physical, and intellectual growth, officials said. The report also proposes the abolition of traditional unit tests, recommending instead the implementation of continuous comprehensive evaluation (CCE). Like CBSE's holistic progress cards, Gujarat schools will adopt a holistic progress report, generated every three months to reflect a student's overall development. To support teachers and enhance teaching quality, the task force suggests reducing their non-teaching workload, especially in data entry tasks, which currently consume a significant amount of their time. Reducing this burden will enable teachers to focus more on academic delivery and student engagement, the report says.
