Govt primary schools not shut, forced to close as parents opt for city schools: CM
Panaji: Chief minister Pramod Sawant on Saturday, said that the state govt does not want to shut any govt primary schools but is forced to close them due to parents choosing to admit children to urban and aided-schools. The state will soon complete the process of teacher recruitment, and it will be ensured that each school will at least have three to four teachers, hinting at resolving the issue of single-teacher govt primary schools, he said during his online interaction with school teachers and students. 'Many are alleging that we have shut down Marathi govt primary schools. We have renovated and rebuilt many govt primary schools. We didn't shut any school. It is due to parents wanting their children in city schools or aided-schools that we don't have children in some govt primary schools. When student numbers were not there, they had to be shut. Govt does not want to close any school. Yes, we have merged some schools which are located close to one another, so they can get the benefit of two to three teachers,' said Sawant, who also holds the education portfolio. He said that where some govt primary schools are shutting, there are also others which are asking for permissions to start Class V and VI and have an attached high school. 'Due to the Teacher Eligibility Test, teacher recruitment was stuck. Our teacher recruitment process will be completed soon. We will give three to four teachers to each school,' said Sawant. The CM said that govt is also in the process of framing a new scheme to replace old Balrath school buses. He, however, warned school managements that the provided buses should not be used to transport students to the school beyond a 3km radius. 'All school managements should know that the buses are not to bring students from 15km away. We will formulate a scheme soon and give new Balrath buses to the schools that have old buses,' said Sawant. He said that the value education programme introduced as 'Mulya Vardhan' in Goa schools along with Shantilal Mukta Foundation has helped reach 80,000 students up to Class VIII over the last six years in 450 schools and trained over 2,700 teachers. Sawant said that the new topics of waste management, personal hygiene, road safety and yoga have been added as part of the programme. He said that with three to four accidents taking place in Goa with at least one fatality each day, the road safety module will ensure that the state roads are safer in the future with more responsible road users.

Children must engage in social work alongside studies: Tripura CM
Agartala (Tripura) [India], June 5 (ANI): Tripura Chief Minister Manik Saha said that the state government is prioritising quality education for students, and quality teachers are being recruited through the Teacher Eligibility Test (TET). Saha also informed that more recruitments will be made in the future. 'Textbook education can never be the standard of life. One can become morally strong through education. Along with education, children should also be engaged in social work,' he said. CM Saha said this while launching the 'Tripura School Quality Assessment and Accreditation Framework' (TSQAAF) at Rabindra Shatabarshiki Bhavan in Agartala on Friday. Speaking at the event, Saha said that the state education department is working to keep pace with the times. 'Various programs are being implemented for the bright future of the next generation. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has launched the National Education Policy 2020 to give momentum to the education system. If there is a uniform curriculum everywhere, students do not face any problems. If there is a uniform question paper, our children can also compete centrally. Today, with the launch of the Tripura School Quality Assessment and Accreditation Framework, a new horizon has been opened in the field of education in Tripura. Through this, the children of the state will be able to establish themselves on a contemporary level with the children of other parts of the country,' he said. Saha, who is also the Education Minister of the state, said that through the Tripura School Quality Assessment and Accreditation Framework, the standards of education of each school can be assessed, and recognition will be given accordingly. 'Along with this, teachers in schools will no longer be limited to the traditional way of teaching. They will have to teach various important subjects beyond the specific syllabus. The Prime Minister's far-reaching vision for the education system must be implemented. He has repeatedly said that it is not enough to just read textbooks. Values, development, and the idea of nation-building must be instilled among children. And through this new system launched today, that idea will reach the children. The state education minister also thanked the various educational institutions and concerned individuals involved in the preparation of this curriculum,' said Saha. He further stated that education plays a special role in improving the quality of socio-economic conditions, along with enhancing one's knowledge. 'Many children are good at studies but fail to succeed in life. Therefore, it is necessary to be involved in sports, social work, and other activities along with studies. It is the responsibility of teachers to develop students into good human beings. They should be taught about social problems and their solutions in schools. The horizon of education must be further expanded. Prime Minister Narendra Modi is also conducting a test-paying exercise program to reduce exam-related stress among children,' he said. Special Secretary of the Education Department Raval Hemendra Kumar, Director of Education N C Sharma, CEO of SBI Foundation Sanjay Prakash, along with other officials of the Education Department and eminent persons, were present as chief guests on the occasion.

Court cannot punish B for A's mistake: Counsel on HC order nixing 32k primary teachers' appts
Kolkata: Senior counsel Anindya Mitra challenged the 2023 Calcutta High Court order by Justice Abhijit Gangopadhyay annulling services of 32,000 primary school teachers and argued that a court of law cannot cancel appointments of people not made parties in a case because that would constitute a violation of the principles of natural justice. Arguing before a division bench of the Calcutta HC on Thursday, Mitra said, "The petitioners who moved the single bench didn't even make such a prayer." The senior counsel restricted his arguments to the 2016 selection of primary teachers that concluded in 2017 and distinguished it from the 2014 Teacher Eligibility Test (TET). Mitra argued that the writ petition was moved five years after the selection process had concluded and pointed out that the petitioners did not make any allegations of illegality. "The basis of the illegality recorded in the judgement was the judge's own, based on irrelevant considerations. You Can Also Check: Kolkata AQI | Weather in Kolkata | Bank Holidays in Kolkata | Public Holidays in Kolkata Counsel submitted that the judge in the case made references to allegations of corruption against ministers, MLAs and the former president of the West Bengal Board of Primary Education, describing the selection process as the "biggest scam" in Bengal's education system. "A minister or an MLA or a former president might have been arrested for doing something wrong. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo But for an offence committed by A, you cannot punish B," Mitra said. He submitted that the judge made these observations in relation to the 2014 TET and not the 2016 selection process by the Board. The senior counsel drew the division bench's attention to the part of the single bench judgement stating: "the sense of justice is above the sense of law" and argued that such a conclusion goes against the basic framework of the Constitution and rule of law. The counsel pointed out that the judge, while taking on an investigation on his own, had questioned candidates from only four of 20 districts and made a generalised observation on aptitude tests, when nine among those questioned had said that aptitude tests were held. Mitra cited SC judgements to substantiate that a court cannot generalise issues. He further pointed out from the records that the judge had initially ordered the cancellation of 36,000 teachers. "He made changes to his order, calling it a typographical error. Is this believable?"
