Punjab schools serving the mid-day meals on credit

More than 19,000 schools in Punjab are serving the midday meal to the students by purchasing the cooking material on credits. For more than three months in a row these schools have received no grant from the Punjab government for midday meals.Even the payment of cooking staff post July have not been made by the government. Short on funds, the schools in the state were forced to ask the teachers to arrange the funds or contribute from their own salary in order to keep the scheme running. Schools gave teachers reassurance that their money will be reimbursed. According to the teachers, the shops schools have been purchasing the items on credit have given them the ultimatum and if government did not release the funds, the scheme might be discontinued.Last time government released the grants for the midday meal in the month of May and schools did not receive any grants for the months of June, July, August and September so far.“Although grains are provided directly to schools, vegetables, salt, pulses, oil, fuel etc. are purchased by the schools with a midday meal grant and the payments of the cooking staff are also made from the grant only,” said a Jalandhar-based government school teacher.“We are thankful to our kirana shop (grocery shop) owners who are still providing us required things to cook, otherwise the scheme would have been closed three months back,” said one District Education Officer.

English Medium Education proposed in SDMC schools

English Medium Education proposed in SDMC schools

A proposal to impart education in English Medium from nursery and onwards in SDMC schools is proposed by an SDMC panel. With this move the panel is seeking to counter the competition from government schools of Delhi.Under the chairmanship of Sunil Sahdev, the Education Committee of the South Delhi Municipal Corporation (SDMC) discussed number of issues related to the primary schools. Mr Sahdev said the proposal has been made “keeping in mind the demand from parents and advancement of technology and education system in fast-changing times”. “All SDMC schools should be allowed to have one English-medium section in the school. The schools which at present do not having provision for it, will start English medium from nursery and one section from Class-I”, Mr Sahdev was quoted as saying in an SDMC statement.In future the demand for the English medium education will only increase and the students seeking the education in English Medium will also increase so, the number of sections can be increased for such classes, SDMC said.“The prescribed admission rules and regulations will be followed. Children who have studied in nursery class in SDMC schools will be considered for admission in class-I. It is obvious that progressively this English medium section of class-I will reach up to class-V in five years. Subjects in each class of English-medium will be taught as per the practice followed by the Directorates of Education of Delhi government, in their schools,” civic body said.

The University Grants Commission (UGC) will start inviting the applications from the institutes of higher education this week. Institutes which are interested in entering the top 100 can apply for the same.Higher Education Secretary K K Sharma said on Tuesday that the window for the applications will remain open for the duration of three months. Once the deadline expires, an empowered committee will evaluate all the entries and then finalize the names of 20 institutions by the March next year. These institutes will be declared as the ‘Institutions of Eminence’. These institutions are proposed to have greater autonomy as compared to other higher education institutes. For example, these institutes will be free to decide their fee for the national and foreign students and can have course duration and structure which suits them the best.They will also be exempted from seeking the government approval before collaborating with the foreign universities except for the institutions which are based in MEA and MHAʼs list of negative countries.Once identified their target would be to break in top 500 bracket in world ranking and eventually in 10 year time in top 100.
