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.

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.

G Manikandan was not a good student. But his father S Ganesan's death on Monday night appears to have altered his approach to studies and given him a mission. So, far from giving the Class XII board exam a miss on Tuesday, he sat for it prior to conducting his father's last rites on the grounds that he understood he needed to "find a job and take care of the family."

Manikandan's father S Ganesan, 55, who was a tailor in Achankuttapatty village of Salem district, used to be the only bread earner in the family. His wife Saroja is a homemaker. Apart from Manikandan, the couple has two daughters. The elder daughter is married and the younger one, who finished Class XII last year, was not able to go to college because of economic reasons.

Ganesan had suffered from breathing problems over the last month. He was admitted at Salem Government Mohan Kumaramangalam Medical College and Hospital. He was diagnosed with a cardiac condition, said their relative A Satheesh Kumar

A few days back, his health worsened, and the family got him discharged from hospital to allow him to die a peaceful death at home.

Following Ganesan's death, Manikandan hesitated for a while whether to take the history exam on Tuesday. But he made up his mind quickly. "My mother and sisters were in favor of my taking the exam on Tuesday," said the boy. He wrote the exam in the Achankuttapatty Govt Higher Secondary School and performed the last rites of his father at about 4pm.

He was sure he had written the exam well even though he lost. "I will graduate from college and get a job to take care of my family," he quoted.
