Kerala HC Emphasises Constitutional Right to Education for All Students
Published
5 days agoon
November 27, 2023
Affirming the constitutional right to education for all students, irrespective of their backgrounds, the Kerala High Court issued a noteworthy interim order on Thursday. The court emphasized that educational authorities should prioritize safeguarding this fundamental right over endorsing non-educational activities.
The order was issued in response to the state educational authorities’ plan to send school students to the Nava Kerala Sadas, an event organized in the state under the leadership of Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan and his cabinet.
Justice Devan Ramachandran, in the interim order, warned headmasters and principals of schools not to subject any students to activities outside the educational curriculum on the instructions of the official respondents in this case. The court highlighted that the right to education is constitutionally protected for every student, regardless of their class, creed, or status. It asserted that the duty of educational authorities is to safeguard this right rather than encourage students to participate in non-educational activities.
During the court hearing, the government assured that no child would be compelled or encouraged to participate in any event across the districts of Kerala. Despite considering closing the writ petition based on this assurance, Justice Ramachandran stated that it is crucial to ensure that authorities do not abuse their powers in the future.

Students Clearing 10+2 Without Biology Still Eligible to Appear for NEET
Published
1 week agoon
November 24, 2023
Students who have successfully completed their 10+2 education without including biology in their curriculum are now deemed eligible to participate in the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (Undergraduate) or NEET (UG), as per the latest guidelines issued by the National Medical Commission (NMC).
The updated regulations, effective from June 2, 2023, bring about a significant change in the eligibility criteria. According to Regulation 11(b), candidates who have passed 10+2 with physics, chemistry, biology/biotechnology, and English from any recognized board are now eligible to appear for NEET-UG. This marks a departure from the previous requirement, which mandated the inclusion of biology or biotechnology as a core subject.
This revision comes in response to a series of queries and legal challenges related to eligibility criteria in medical education. Previously, under the Regulations on Graduate Medical Education, 1997, candidates pursuing MBBS had to complete two years of continuous study in physics, chemistry, biology/biotechnology, and English during their 11th and 12th grades. The Delhi High Court nullified these provisions in 2018, affecting candidates seeking admission to foreign medical institutions.
In an effort to address these issues, the NMC introduced the Graduate Medical Education Regulations, 2023. The new regulations not only make candidates without biology eligible for NEET-UG but also apply retrospectively, providing relief to those whose applications for eligibility certificates were previously rejected.
In a meeting held on June 14, 2023, the NMC, taking into account the flexibility offered by the New Education Policy, decided to revisit its earlier stance. Candidates can now study the required subjects as additional subjects after completing Class 12th from recognized boards and still remain eligible for NEET-UG and the Eligibility Certificate.
This decision has broader implications as it not only resolves pending court cases but also allows candidates who have become eligible post this announcement to participate in NEET-UG 2024. Additionally, court cases filed by the Medical Council of India (MCI)/NMC will be withdrawn, and the updated position will be presented in ongoing litigations filed by candidates against the MCI/NMC for a more expeditious resolution.

Ramayana Mahabharata Should be Included in Social Sciences Curriculum: NCERT Panel
Published
1 week agoon
November 22, 2023
A high-level panel led by C I Issac has recommended the inclusion of epics such as the Ramayana and the Mahabharata in social sciences textbooks, as well as inscribing the Preamble of the Constitution on classroom walls. The seven-member committee, formed last year, has put forth various suggestions for the final position paper on social sciences, a pivotal document guiding the development of new textbooks by the National Council for Educational Research and Training (NCERT).
The NCERT has not yet made a decision on these recommendations. C I Issac, the committee chairperson, highlighted the importance of teaching epics like the Ramayana and Mahabharata in the social sciences syllabus, asserting that it fosters self-esteem, patriotism, and pride in the nation among students in their teenage years. Issac expressed concern about a lack of patriotism leading to many students seeking citizenship in other countries and stressed the need for a deeper understanding of one’s roots and culture.
Emphasizing the significance of incorporating these epics into the curriculum, Issac acknowledged that while some boards already cover them, a more comprehensive approach is necessary. Additionally, the panel suggested replacing the term ‘India’ with ‘Bharat’ in textbooks, introducing ‘Classical History’ in lieu of ancient History, and highlighting “Hindu victories” in textbooks for classes 3 to 12.
Issac underscored the nobility of the Preamble, which values social ideals like democracy and secularism. As a result, the panel recommended displaying the Preamble on classroom walls to enhance understanding and learning. The NCERT is currently revising the school curriculum in alignment with the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, with the anticipation that the new textbooks will be ready for the next academic session.
The recommendations made by the panel will be considered by the 19-member National Syllabus and Teaching Learning Material Committee (NSTC), established in July, tasked with finalizing the curriculum, textbooks, and learning materials for these classes.
