There is a good news for the teachers in Punjab. The state cabinet has finalized that 8,886 teachers that were recruited under the central education programs will be made regular.

Under the SSA and RMSA program, the state government has been recruiting the teachers in order to meet the student-teacher ratio. Funds for both the programs are shared by the central and state governments in the ratio 60:40. The decision was taken on the recommendations of cabinet sub-committee. A spokesman said “The sub-committee had recommended of absorbing these teachers bycreating posts in the school education department of the state with aregular pay of Rs. 10,300 per month (initial of the regular pay scale) forthe three years. But the Cabinet has decided to pay them Rs. 15,000instead”. The probation period for these teachers will be three years. "On successful completion of the probation period of three years, their services would be regularized by the department, strictly as per rules," the education department official said.

Exam center gave only 60 minutes to complete the NIOS test; Total time duration was 90 minutes

Exam center gave only 60 minutes to complete the NIOS test; Total time duration was 90 minutes



More than 200 students that appeared for the practical exams of class 10 on Wednesday claimed that they were not provided with the stipulated time of 90 minutes. The practical exams were being conducted by the NIOS and this was the case at one of the many exam centers in the city. As per the schedule mentioned, the paper for the subject Data Entry was scheduled from 2 pm to 3:30 pm at a center. The center was located next to Anglo Urdu Boys School and Junior College on Azam Campus. Many parents claimed that the students reported at the center at 1:45 pm but were only allowed to enter the exam hall at 2:30 pm instead of 2 pm. “The students were not informed of any change in timings and were given old computers to work on, which also hampered their performance,” said a tutor, who did not wish to be named. But the major blow for the students came when the invigilators started collecting the answer sheets at 4 pm which deducted crucial 30 minutes from the allotted time frame for the exam. “This meant that many students could not complete the 60-mark examination and they are now at loss,” the tutor added. When officials at the Azam campus were contacted regarding the same issue Muzzamil Palekar, coordinator of NIOS on Azam campus said “The actual time of the exam was between 2 pm and 3.30 pm. But, we had another exam scheduled at the same center, prior to this one. That is why, we could not keep up with the time and had to delay in starting the latter examination. Out of 40 students, only one complained of falling short of time”. He further added “How much time will you require to answer four questions? We informed the students at the start of the exam, that the duration would be one hour instead of 90 minutes.” The principal has asked the affected students to place their grievances before the principal on Thursday.

Asserting the Gandhi advocated the use of Khadi he suggested the universities to ask the students and come up with the traditional design options for the convocation attire. “I would like to urge all universities across the country that rather than going for British-inspired clothes for their convocation they should go for traditional Indian clothes. Universities can ask their students to come up with design options or can also refer to some designs posted on HRD Ministryʼs website,” Javadekar said in a video message to universities. “Gandhi also advocated use the of Khadi. Due to various initiatives, Khadi sale has gone up by four times hence paving way for the creation of more jobs. This will be an apt tribute to him on his 150th birth anniversary,” he added. In July 2015, the University Grants Commission (UGC) had also asked the universities to consider the traditional ceremonial dresses for occasions like convocations. Many higher education institutions including IITs of Kanpur and Bombay replaced the British attire with the traditional attire for the convocation ceremony. In July 2013, IIT-BHU students wore white dhoti-kurta or pajama-kurta and women students wore white sari or salwar-kurta.
