Minimum age for admission in Class 1 to 6 years, The Centre has asked states and UTs

The Department of School Education and Literacy under the Ministry of Education has once again urged all states and Union Territories to follow the National Education Policy’s recommendation to set the minimum age for admission to Class 1 at six years.

The department has sent a letter to the state governments and UT administrations, reminding them of the directions that were previously issued multiple times since the NEP’s launch in 2020.

As per a response provided by the Centre in the Lok Sabha in March 2022, there is a wide variation in the age criteria for admission to Class 1 among different states. Fourteen states and Union Territories allow admission to Class 1 for children who have not yet turned six years old.

For example, in Assam, Gujarat, Puducherry, Telangana, and Ladakh, children who have completed five years of age can be admitted to Class 1. In Andhra Pradesh, Delhi, Rajasthan, Uttarakhand, Haryana, Goa, Jharkhand, Karnataka, and Kerala, the minimum age is five plus.

On February 9th, the Centre sent a new communication to states and Union Territories about the minimum age for admission to Class 1. The Centre has previously pointed out that not adhering to the minimum age specified in the National Education Policy has been affecting the calculation of net enrolment ratios in various states.

The Ministry informed the Lok Sabha on March 28, 2022 that not following the minimum age for admission to Class 1 as per the National Education Policy leads to inaccurate reporting of enrolment of children in age-appropriate classes. This results in incorrect reporting of underage and overage children, which affects net enrolment ratios at the state and national level. It also creates problems for students who want to move between states or take various competitive exams.

The Centre had earlier requested states and Union Territories to prepare a roadmap for a smooth transition towards the new minimum age criteria over the next two-three years. However, there has been little progress made on this front. As a result, the Centre has once again approached state governments on the matter.

The National Education Policy 2020 outlines a 5+3+3+4 school system. The first five years of this system consist of three years of pre-school for children aged three to six years, followed by two years of Classes 1 and 2 for children aged six to eight years.

In 2022, the Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan, a central government education body, increased the minimum age for admission to Class 1 to six years. The decision was challenged in the Delhi High Court and later in the Supreme Court, but ultimately upheld.

The Right to Education Act 2009 does not include a provision for the minimum age of admission to Class 1. It only mandates free and compulsory education for children between the ages of 6-14 years in a neighborhood school till the completion of elementary education, which is defined as education from the first class to the eighth under the Act. Due to this absence of explicit provision, many are hesitant to adopt the new minimum age criteria for Class 1 admission.

“Delhi Bans Ola, Uber, and Rapido Bike Taxi Services Over Safety Concerns”

New Delhi:- The announcement from the Delhi transport department makes it evident that the prohibition on bike taxis will be enforced immediately. According to the government notice, if bike taxi services offered by companies like Ola, Uber, and Rapido persist in Delhi, a penalty will be imposed.

The Delhi government has enforced a sudden ban on bike taxis, which will have an impact on popular ride-hailing services such as Ola, Uber, and Rapido in the city. The decision was announced by the Delhi transport department in a notice, which cited the use of non-transport registered two-wheelers to transport passengers, thereby violating the Motor Vehicle Act, 1988. This prohibition also affects many customers who depend on these bike-sharing services, particularly due to the high fares of traditional cabs. Furthermore, some prefer bike taxis as they are more maneuverable in the congested traffic of Delhi.

Despite the prohibition, some applications are still providing bike taxi services. The ride-hailing companies, including Ola, Uber, and Rapido, have yet to issue an official response. Here are five pieces of information that we currently have about the situation.

The Delhi transport department’s notification states that the restriction on bike taxi services will take effect immediately. The notice warns that if Ola, Uber, and Rapido riders or any other service providers continue to offer bike taxi services in Delhi, a penalty of Rs 5,000 will be imposed. If the offense is repeated or committed multiple times, the fine for subsequent violations will increase to Rs 10,000 along with the possibility of imprisonment.

As per The Indian Express report, the Delhi traffic police department is already inspecting motorcycles affiliated with Ola, Uber, and Rapido to ensure compliance with the newly imposed ban. In addition to a fine, if a driver repeats the offense, their driving license will be suspended for a minimum of three years. The Delhi government’s decision follows a similar ban on Rapido services in Maharashtra by the Supreme Court. Two-wheeler taxi services also suffer from a significant issue, namely the lack of proper emergency buttons, which poses a risk to the safety of women passengers.

Currently, Uber and Ola users in Delhi still have the option to book bike taxis despite the ban. However, this may change once the companies update their apps and make necessary adjustments until the rules change. An official stated to The Indian Express that, based on current regulations, taxi services involve a driver and multiple passengers. Consequently, only four-wheelers, auto-rickshaws, and e-rickshaws are permitted to operate, but not motorcycles. To run cab services, there are specific guidelines and requirements that must be met, including obtaining a registration mark, yellow number plates, PSV badge issued after police verification, and drivers who undergo behavioral training sessions.

As of now, Ola, Uber, and Rapido have not issued any official statements in response to the new ban. Delhi’s MLA and transport minister, Kailash Gahlot, shared news of the notification on Twitter, highlighting the upcoming Aggregator policy for 2-wheelers, 3-wheelers, and 4-wheelers. The policy is said to be in its final stages and will be launched soon, helping service providers apply for licenses under the new regulations.

Cbse

The CBSE Board Exams 2023 included the French exam for class 10 and Hindi (Core) exam for class 12, which were conducted by the Central Board of Secondary Education today. According to students who appeared for the French paper, the difficulty level of the question paper was moderate, and most of the questions were direct and simple. The paper consisted of open-ended short-answer and long-answer-type questions, and was not too long, giving students ample time to attempt it. Candidates who had practiced the sample papers and previous year’s question papers beforehand were able to manage their time better, according to Ms. Anu Aggarwal, TGT French, DPS Raj Nagar Extension. Ms. Megha, TGT French at Pacific World School, stated that the paper was quite easy, with most questions being direct, and the reading passages having an easy language with direct questions. The writing and grammar section aimed to test the basic grammatical knowledge of students, and the Culture and Civilisation section was common for all students, as the questions were thoroughly practiced. Overall, the students were happy with the paper

n the class 12 Hindi (Core) paper, the students encountered an unread/unseen passage based on a problem, an unread poem, questions on expression and medium, and questions from lessons. The paper also assessed the creative writing abilities of students, with sections on reading passages, poetry, and prose. There were around 13 questions in total, and according to Shyam Jee, PGT Hindi at Orchids International School, Sonipat, question 9 was the toughest. However, he mentioned that almost 95% of the paper was easy and brought out the creative and imaginative skills of the students, and was suitable for the all-round development of the students. Ashok Kumar, PGT Hindi at KV no. 2, Delhi Cantt, found the Hindi (Core) paper to be balanced, neither too difficult nor too easy. He explained that as the students were giving the board exam after a gap of two years, a tougher paper would have been a problem for them, and at the same time, a simpler paper would have reduced its standard. However, some students found it to be a lengthy paper, and one of the reasons for it could be the lack of writing practice due to Covid.

The initial three years of the program focus primarily on the theoretical aspects, while the final three years concentrate on practical training. The program is divided into 12 semesters, with each year consisting of two semesters.

The undergraduate programmes in Russia typically last for four years, after which students are awarded a bachelor’s degree and a diploma of higher education. After completing the undergraduate programme, students can opt for a Master’s programme to further their education. The academic year in Russia usually commences between September and October.

Aspirants should note that in addition to clearing the Unified State Examination (EGE), they may also need to pass admission tests.

Government scholarships in Russia provide free tuition for the duration of the chosen program, maintenance allowance for the entirety of the study period, regardless of the candidate’s success. The average scholarship in 2020 was 1,484 roubles per month (approximately $22), as well as access to dormitory accommodation, if available. However, the scholarship does not cover travel costs or living expenses.

The cost of studying in the full-time department for a Bachelor’s degree in Russia ranges from approximately 240,000 to 260,000 rubles ($3,430 to $3,715) per year. The minimum cost is 122,500 rubles ($1,750) per year, while the maximum cost is 880,000 rubles ($12,570) per year.

Sources familiar with the investigation told news agency ANI that Sahil Gehlot, the accused in the Najafgarh murder case, has claimed that he drove around with his lover Nikki Yadav for hours before killing her between 8:30 and 9:00 am on February 10th.

The discovery of a young woman’s body inside a fridge at a dhaba in Delhi, allegedly murdered by her former live-in partner, has shocked the nation. Investigators have now uncovered that the murder didn’t occur secretly in the dead of night, but rather in broad daylight at a public location.

Sahil Gehlot, the accused in the murder case of his former lover Nikki Yadav, has confessed to driving around with her for hours before killing her the next day in a public parking lot near Nigambodh Ghat in Delhi, according to sources cited by news agency ANI. He also admitted to deleting all data, including WhatsApp chats, from Nikki’s phone.

The Delhi police are gathering evidence, including CCTV footage and forensic examination, to build a strong case against him. CCTV footage has been retrieved from Nikki’s rented accommodation, where she was seen hours before the murder.

The police have also questioned people in the area and are examining CCTV footage from the surrounding locations. The police stated that Sahil strangled Nikki with a data cable after an argument broke out about his secret wedding scheduled for the following day. He later disposed of her body in a refrigerator at his dhaba. Sahil was arrested on February 14 and taken into custody for further interrogation. On Wednesday, a Delhi court granted the police a five-day custody of him.
