Kolkata, March 28: There is some good news for parents and students as the state government has decided to reopen Midnapore School in April. The school was earlier closed due to an acute shortage of staff, but now the school will be reopened due to the state government's intervention.

The decision was communicated to the Calcutta High Court, putting an end to months of anxiety about the institution's fate. While the government is yet to put in writing a definite date of reopening, the action marks a closure to the crisis that left the students unsure.

The shutdown had created panic among parents and students, who were worried about academic interruptions and future opportunities. They had called for the government's intervention at once, pointing to the negative effect on continuity of learning. Acting on growing pressure, state authorities have moved to tackle the shortage of staff and restore normalcy.

A high-ranking education ministry official confirmed that action was in hand to hire staff needed prior to reopening. "We are striving to occupy the vacant seats so that the school operates without delay," said the official.

The decision is also going to calm the fears of hundreds of students who had been victims of the abrupt shutdown. The parents have received the decision with open arms but are in a vigilant mood, warning the authorities against allowing such crises to occur to them in the future as well.

Now with the intervention of the government to end the staff crisis, Midnapore School is set to reopen next month, with hope and relief for its students and their guardians.

The Delhi government will transform the face of school education with the launch of Science of Living – a holistic course that teaches meditation, yoga, and senior care from KG to Class 10. Concurrently, AI courses will prepare students for technological transformation, as officially disclosed by a State Council of Educational Research and Training (SCERT) officer.

Besides moral education, Rashtraneeti (study of governance) and entrepreneurial training (NEV) will debut. These courses are intended to provide experiential training rather than relying on textbooks, aligned with global education trends but keeping Indian ethos intact. Existing schemes in operation are being redesigned for greater effectiveness.

Why Do These Changes Matter?

Holistic Development:  Mental well-being and social responsibility are addressed through Science of Living via care of elderly persons and yoga modules.

Future-Ready Skills:  The introduction of AI classes helps the student understand developing technology at the onset.

Civic Engagement:  Rashtraneeti despiritualizes administration, inducting engaged citizens.

Delhi’s education reforms blend tradition with innovation, equipping students to thrive ethically and technologically. The Science of Living and AI integration set a benchmark for modern pedagogy. Parents and schools can track rollout details via edudel.nic.in.

A Tamil Nadu State Transport Corporation (TNSTC) driver was suspended and a contract-basis conductor was terminated after the staff of the bus didn't stop the vehicle at a bus stand in Tirupattur district's Kothakottai village on Tuesday (March 24, 2025) and made a Class 12 student dash behind the bus to get on the bus.

A TNSTC bus driver was suspended and a contract-basis conductor was terminated after the staff members failed to stop the vehicle at a bus stand in Kothakottai village in Tirupattur district on Tuesday (March 24, 2025), compelling a Class 12 student to run alongside the bus to get in.

A video of the accident went viral on social media, which infuriated the public. TNSTC officials stated that the bus driver S. Muniraj has been suspended and conductor K. Ashok Kumar was relieved of his post. Moreover, a departmental inquiry has also been ordered against the driver for the accident.

The first inquiry indicated that Muniraj was operating the bus (Route No: 1C; Tirupattur-Alangayam) from a bus stand in Ambur with a total of around 20 commuters. The bus had proceeded beyond Vaniyambadi town and reached the Kothakottai village but did not halt at the bus stop meant for it because there were no commuters to alight there.

A Class 12 student, who was headed to sit for Board exam, however, was spotted running behind the bus to get on; a few minutes later, the bus was halted after passengers alerted the bus crew. The act, which was recorded on video by some motorists close to the bus stop, went viral on social media sites.

A group of TNSTC officials have visited the bus stop as part of their investigation into the accident. An inquiry is in progress.

Delhi's Education Minister said that an overall report would be prepared for the deteriorating condition of the schools in the national capital.

Delhi Education Minister on Monday told the Assembly that an action report would be drawn up regarding the deteriorating condition of schools in the national capital. Addressing the issue raised by different MLAs about school infrastructure during the current Delhi Assembly Budget Session, Minister Ashish Sood spoke.

A five-term BJP MLA from Gandhi Nagar, Arvinder Singh Lovely, pointed out the dilapidated condition of a school on Brahmapuri Main Road and stated that many schools in the Trans-Yamuna area were in the same condition. He asked the minister to give information about such schools, to which Sood replied that the required information would be gathered and shared in the House.

In a similar vein, BJP MLA Kulwant Rana brought to the notice of the House the sorry state of a school in Saheb Haderi.

Expressing concern over Pratibha Schools, BJP MLA OP Sharma from Vishwas Nagar alleged that several of them, constructed between 1993 and 1998, were closed by the previous government. He urged the government to open these schools again to support talented students.

In the meantime, AAP MLA Sanjeev Jha asked how many students had been provided with financial assistance at Delhi University till February 25. Sood promised to give a comprehensive report on this to the Assembly. The five-day budget session of the eighth Delhi Assembly continues.

A well-known, private, English-medium school in Shimla canceled its circular which had instructed students of primary classes to wear kurta-pyjama and a small cap, and take sevaiyan, paneer, and dry fruits on March 28 to celebrate pre-Eid, following a threat of protest from a right-wing group, Dev Bhoomi Sangarsh Samiti.

The right-wing group claimed the school's decision was intended to instill communal discord and threatened legal action if the decision was not reversed. The school defended its decision as a cultural learning experience, stating that it was a priority for the protection of children and did not involve religious rites.

Since the social media posts uploaded by the right-wing group stated that the school action was with the view to instilling communal discord, state education minister Rohit Thakur reacted by stating that the matter was being unnecessarily raised to disrupt communal harmony. Dev Bhoomi Sangarsh Samiti threatened to organize a protest in front of the school and legal action if the school did not reverse its decision, which it alleged was designed to propagate Islam.

Other individuals also questioned on social media the intention of the school.

The school, in retracting its decision, explained that the Eid-ul-Fitr celebration to be held for students from nursery to Class II was a part of their initiative to enable young students to enjoy India's cultural diversity—just as they celebrate Holi, Diwali, and Christmas. Describing the protection of children as the school's foremost priority, the school, in a communication to parents, had indicated: "It was planned solely as a cultural learning experience, with no religious rites, and enforcement and voluntary participation."

Intending to raise state education to national standards, the Maharashtra government intends to implement the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) curriculum in schools starting in 2025–2026. Because the curriculum will be based on Marathi textbooks, kids will be able to access the language. To maintain consistency, the academic year will start on April 1st, just as the CBSE calendar. The government is dedicated to putting laws and policies into place that will improve student accomplishment and offer high-quality education.

Official Declaration and Acceptance

State Education Minister Dada Bhuse told the legislative council, citing the law, that the CBSE curriculum framework for grades three through twelve has been accepted by the School Education Department's steering committee.

Curriculum Transition and Language Accessibility

The current scheme will possess textbooks in Marathi, thus the language should not prove to be an obstacle for the students resettling to the new scheme. This approach demonstrates the government's dedication to open access to education.

Academic Calendar Alignment

In addition to the curriculum reforms, the academic year will begin from April 1, just like the CBSE calendar. This alignment would make the administrative tasks easier while ensuring uniformity in the academic calendar.

Government's Vision for Educational Excellence

Maharashtra will need to become a leader in the education sector again, and Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has been emphasizing the CBSE pattern with the necessary changes that suit the state. The government is committed to implementing policies, legislation and to provide quality education and enhancing student achievement.
