Newly established degree colleges ‘lack’ permanent campuses, infrastructure

‘Some of the colleges still face land issues’

Srinagar, Mar 25: The Jammu and Kashmir Higher Education Department has admitted that it lacks infrastructure, permanent campus and land for the several newly established degree colleges here.

According to the news agency—Kashmir News Observer (KNO), Director Colleges Dr Yasmeen Ashai has said that currently the department has 140 colleges in Jammu and Kashmir including 90 established colleges.

“We agree that in some newly established fifty colleges in Jammu and Kashmir, some of the institutes still have land issues and in some colleges we have not constructed permanent buildings. We realise that,” Ashai said.

“A week back screening committee meeting was held with regard to newly established degree colleges wherein it was resolved that we need to create the permanent campuses for them,” she said.

The director of colleges said this to reporters earlier this week during an event.

Ashai further said that the higher education department has introduced 3+1 system in almost every college wherein the students have been given the choice to exit anytime after in years.

“Under the multidisciplinary program, we are going to focus on the 4th year in only those colleges wherein we have established labs. Students won’t feel any problem,” she said, adding that it was a flexible program wherein students can take entry or exit after every year.

As per the guidelines of UGC, under NEP-2020, the undergraduate degree should be of either a institutes or four year duration, with multiple entry and exit options within this period, with appropriate certifications.

1.75 Lakh Students Upset Over Class 8 Exam Date Changes

Class 8 Exam Dates Shuffle Leaves 1.75 Lakh Students fuming

Srinagar, Mar 25 : The repeated changes in the examination schedule for class 8 students have stirred frustration among 1.75 lakh students, disrupting their preparations and casting uncertainty over their academic endeavors.

According to the news agency—Kashmir News Observer (KNO) initially slated to commence on March 5, the exam’s commencement was rescheduled to March 13, only to encounter further alterations after the completion of two subjects.

Responsibility for overseeing the smooth execution of the class 8 examinations rests with the Jammu and Kashmir State Center for Educational Research and Training (JKSCERT). However, inadequate planning has resulted in confusion and dissatisfaction among students. Following examinations conducted on March 13 and 22 in the Soft Zone, papers slated for March 24, 26, and 29 have been deferred.

Expressing dismay over the frequent changes, class 8 students highlighted the adverse impact on students’ preparation, with shifting exam dates disrupting their study routines.

An official from SCERT attributed the scheduling challenges to rushed decision-making processes. With class 10th and 12th board exams scheduled for March, logistical constraints including exam center availability and invigilator arrangements posed significant hurdles. Such constraints even necessitated examinations being held on Sundays.

Efforts to clarify the rationale behind the fluctuating exam dates proved futile, as SCERT Director Prof. Parikshit Singh’s attempts to reach Manhas for clarification went unanswered despite repeated attempts—(KNO)

CBSE Informs Schools: NCERT Set to Roll Out Fresh Syllabus and Textbooks Solely for Classes 3 to 6

CBSE Informs Schools: NCERT Set to Roll Out Fresh Syllabus and Textbooks Solely for Classes 3 to 6

NCERT will release new syllabus and textbooks only for classes 3rd to 6th, CBSE said to schools.

The National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) will release new syllabus and textbooks only for classes 3rd to 6th, and there will be no change in the Curriculum and textbooks for other classes for the academic year 2024-25 commencing from April 1, according to an official communication by the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) to its affiliated schools.

In a communique sent to all heads of Institutions affiliated to CBSE, the board on Friday said that the NCERT has informed it through a letter dated March 18 that new syllabi and textbooks for classes 3 and 6 are currently under development and will soon be released. It has advised the schools to follow these new syllabi and textbooks for classes 3 and 6 in place of textbooks published by the NCERT till the year 2023.

The council is preparing new school textbooks in line with the new national curriculum framework for school education (NCF-SE) 2023 as a part of the implementation of the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020. HT had on March 17 reported that the NCERT is unlikely to come up with textbooks for all classes ahead of this academic year, and it will continue with the existing rationalized textbooks for the majority of the classes.

“A bridge course for class 6, and concise guidelines for class 3 are being developed by NCERT for facilitating a seamless transition for students to new pedagogical practices and areas of study aligned with NCF-SE 2023. These resources will be disseminated to all the schools online once they are received from NCERT,” the CBSE said.

Besides, the Board will also organize capacity building programs for school heads and teachers to orient them with the new teaching learning perspectives as envisioned in NEP-2020, it added.

“There will be no change in the Curriculum and textbooks for other classes for the academic year 2024-25 commencing from 1st April 2024,” the board said.

The board has also advised the schools to follow the NCF- SE recommendations and incorporate methodologies such as Multilingualism, Art-Integrated Education, Experiential Learning, and Pedagogical Plans, wherever feasible.

“Schools are advised to align their practices with the recommendations delineated in NCF-SE-2023. This includes adherence to guidelines concerning content, pedagogical strategies, assessment methodologies, and other pertinent areas as communicated by the Board from time to time,” the board stated.

In 2022, NCERT had rationalised the syllabi of classes 6 to 12 to “reduce the content load” on students in light of the Covid-19 pandemic. Among the changes, reflected in new textbooks published last year, the council had removed chapters on Mughal courts, 2002 Gujarat riots, cold war, references of Mughal emperors, and Emergency and periodic table. While the council maintained there was no selective omission of topics, the rationalisation exercise had created a political controversy with leaders from opposition parties alleging the ruling dispensation was “erasing history”.
