After sugar boards, CBSE pushes oil boards to cut fat intake in schools

CBSE pushes new visual campaign of oil boards in schools to curb unhealthy oil usage India Today Education Desk CBSE launches 'Oil Boards' to discourage unhealthy fat consumption in schools Initiative follows 'Sugar Boards' to promote better health habits Boards to be placed in cafeterias, hallways, and staff areas After the introduction of 'Sugar Boards' last year, the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has taken another step to promote healthy living in schools. In a fresh circular issued to affiliated schools, the Board has announced the rollout of 'Oil Boards'â€'a visual awareness campaign aimed at discouraging excessive consumption of unhealthy fats and oils. The move comes amid alarming data on rising obesity rates in India, particularly amongst urban children and adolescents. Drawing from the National Family Health Survey (NFHS-5, 2019–21), CBSE highlights that more than 20% of adults in urban areas are either overweight or obese. A Lancet study from 2025 further warns that by 2050, the number of overweight adults in India may jump from 18 crore in 2021 to nearly 45 crore, placing the country second globally in obesity prevalence. WHAT ARE OIL BOARDS? As per the CBSE directive, 'Oil Boards' are to be installed in visible areas within school campusesâ€'such as cafeterias, hallways, and staff lounges. These can be either printed posters or digital screens, featuring facts and warnings about the health hazards of consuming high-fat and oil-rich foods. The idea is to encourage students and staff to make more mindful food choices. WHY THE INITIATIVE MATTERS? This initiative builds on the earlier 'Sugar Boards' campaign that sought to reduce sugar consumption in school environments. With obesity becoming a national concern, especially in younger age groups, CBSE believes schools have a vital role to play in promoting preventive health behaviours. Poor eating habits, sedentary lifestyles, and a lack of awareness about nutrition are contributing factors that the Board hopes to address through such targeted interventions. Direct link to check the official circular WHAT SCHOOLS ARE EXPECTED TO DO To bring the Oil Board initiative to life, CBSE has laid out a multipronged approach for schools: Install Visual Displays: Put up clear, eye-catching posters or digital messages in areas frequented by students and staff. Health-Focused Stationery: Add health tips and reminders to school stationery letterheads, notebooks, foldersto reinforce the message beyond just the display boards. Healthy Food and Activity Push: Encourage canteens to stock healthier meal options while limiting the sale of fried snacks and sugary drinks. Promote physical movement through activity breaks, use of stairs, and walk-friendly zones on campus. Student Engagement: Integrate the creation of Oil Board content into class projects. This could involve students conducting their own research, creating visuals, and writing health-based messages to deepen understanding and involvement. Schools have also been advised to make use of educational materials developed by the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI). Videos, posters, and guidelines are available through FSSAI's social media and YouTube channels. By involving students, staff, and the larger school ecosystem, CBSE hopes to foster lifelong habits that prioritise nutrition and wellness. The Oil Board campaign, much like its predecessor, is not just about awareness, it's about creating an environment that supports healthier daily choices.

AI will soon crack any UG science problem: Mathematician Manjul Bhargava at IISc

'AI remains notoriously bad at doing math and science. We've all seen social media posts mocking AI's confident yet incorrect answers,' Bhargava said at IISc. India Today Education Desk AI will soon solve all undergraduate-level science, math problems: Bhargava Manjul Bhargava says AI is rapidly improving in science, maths accuracy IISc convocation: AI to reshape science education in coming years Well-known mathematician and Fields Medal winner Manjul Bhargava believes Artificial Intelligence (AI) is on the brink of a quantam leap. Addressing the convocation ceremony at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) in Bengaluru on Thursday, he said that within the next one or two years, some AI models will be capable of solving any undergraduate-level science or mathematics problem with accuracy. 'AI remains notoriously bad at doing math and science. We've all seen social media posts mocking AI's confident yet incorrect answers,' Bhargava said. But that, he added, is changing fast. Having personally tested several advanced language models set to release in the coming years, Bhargava expressed confidence: 'Some AIs will soon be able to solve even tricky trigonometry questions with precision. What was once laughable may become reliable.' This rise of capable AI, he said, will also raise questions for the future of education and public policy. RETHINKING EDUCATION As AI systems improve, Bhargava posed a critical question: 'What happens to teaching at institutions like IISc when AI can solve most problems?' He noted that education may need to shift from rote learning to fostering creativity and interdisciplinary thinking. He urged educators and policymakers to start preparing for this shift now, noting that 'disruptive technologies bring not just new tools, but new responsibilities.' Bhargava also highlighted the need for ethical frameworks around AI. 'We will need new policies to ensure that as AI becomes more powerful, it is used responsibly,' he said. IISc CONVOCATION At the ceremony, IISc awarded degrees to 1,487 postgraduate and PhD students, and 106 undergraduates. Eighty-four students received medals for academic excellence. In a poignant moment, the Professor BG Raghavendra Memorial Medal was posthumously awarded to Somwanish Nikhil Chottu, a student from the Department of Management Studies who passed away earlier this year. The event reflected both the promise of the future and the challenges it brings, as one of India's top science institutions took stock of a rapidly changing world.

Class 3 learning recovery remains below 2017 pre‑Covid level: Government survey

The latest survey from the government has confirmed that Class 3 learning levels have improved since pandemic lows but remain below pre‑Covid standards, highlighting sustained impact. India Today Education Desk Class 3 average scores remain below 2017, despite gains since 2021 Strong in everyday vocabulary and number patterns; weak in comprehension and shapes Classes 6 and 9 scored below 50% in most subjects, bar language The Centre's latest PARAKH Rashtriya Sarvekshan survey reveals that although Class3 students have made modest gains since the pandemic, their performance has not yet returned to pre-Covid levels. The PARAKH Rashtriya Sarvekshan previously known as the National Achievement Survey, assessed over 21 lakh students in Classes 3, 6 and 9 across 74,229 schools in December 2024. Only Class 3 results are directly comparable across the rounds, as it is the sole grade common to the 2017, 2021 and 2024 assessments. The 2017 NAS included Classes 3,5 and 8, while 2021 covered Classes 3, 5, 8 and10, limiting longitudinal comparisons. WHAT WAS ASSESSED UNDER PARAKH 2024 Class 3 students were evaluated on foundational stage competencies, with an assessment duration of 90 minutes. Class 6 students were assessed in Language, Mathematics, and The World Around Us (TWAU), also within a 90-minute timeframe. Class 9 students were evaluated in Language, Mathematics, Science, and Social Science, with the assessment lasting 120 minutes. The survey also gathered in-depth information on learning conditions through Teacher Questionnaires (TQ), School Questionnaires (SQ), and Pupil Questionnaires (PQ). FOUNDATIONAL STAGE SCORES REMAIN BELOW 2017 Class 3 students scored an average of 64% in language and 60% in mathematics in 2024. These figures show improvement over 2021, when averages stood at 62% in language and 57% in maths. However, they still fall short of the 2017 pre-Covid benchmarks of 66.7% (language) and 63% (maths). PARAKH Rashtriya Sarvekshan previously known as the National Achievement Survey, assessed over 21 lakh students in Classes 3,6 and9 across 74,229 schools in December 2024. In language, students performed best in using everyday vocabulary (67%), but struggled with reading short stories and comprehension, scoring around 60%. In mathematics, strengths were seen in identifying simple patterns and numbers (69%). However, understanding geometric shapes and handling basic money transactions remained weak, with average scores of only 50%. For Classes 6 and 9, average national scores in most subjects were under 50%, except for language. A senior education ministry official attributed this disappointing performance to students losing nearly two years of formal schooling during the pandemic. PURPOSE OF THE SURVEY Competency-Based Assessment: The survey assessed entire schools rather than just individual students, offering insights into stage-specific learning competencies and highlighting systemic strengths and weaknesses. Data-Driven Policy Making: Findings from the survey were intended to inform educational reforms and policymaking, ensuring that decisions were based on real-world classroom data. Alignment with NEP 2020: The initiative reflected the core principles of the National Education Policy by promoting an inclusive, equitable, and holistic approach to education. Empowerment of Educators: The data collected was aimed at helping teachers and school leaders improve their teaching strategies and better address students' diverse learning needs. The survey was conducted on 4 December 2024, covering government, aided and private schools, and marks the transition from NAS to PARAKH in assessing student competencies.
