Preparing kids for success and failure

The panel encouraged educators to team up with their students to find answers to questions. They motivated them to try out new things to change the ecosystem; an ecosystem that is safe and less threatening to the learner.

A panel discussion moderated by Ratnesh Kumar Jha including eminent educationists – Lata Vaidyanathan, Dr Madhav Deo Saraswat and Dr Swati Popat Vats – dwelled upon a most important premise – Preparing kids for success: Teaching them how to fail.

Ratnesh Kumar Jha, Managing Director, Cambridge University Press, South Asia opened the discussion by addressing an important point, “We all do something wrong in our life. Then, why don’t we ask our children – ‘What did you learn?’ after any failure or even after a regular day. When we ask them this question, they start realising the importance of it.”

Taking the discussion forward, Lata Vaidyanathan maintained, “With learning comes the measurement for learning but we need to question this cycle. When we measure learning, we talk about it in tangible terms and then, equity becomes an issue and that’s why we have these high cut-offs for university admissions. Learning systematically becomes a downward extension of our education. The ecosystems of learning need to be addressed and we don’t need any big data to realise the number of suicides happening every year. It is said that every child with or without a right mind is important for this country and we need to look at that a little more seriously.”

Speaking on how the system can be evolved, Madhav Deo Saraswat said, “I’ve been a fortunate teacher for the last 30 years and a part of a boarding school. I’ve realised that parents often forget that learning is a collaborative exercise; it is an exercise between a learner and the teacher. However, society expects these kids to be taught; leading to learning taking the back seat with teaching taking the front seat. Parents approach you as customers and not as parents.”

He further added, “We need to maintain a balance in education. In boarding schools, children are taught that learning, exams and life go hand in hand. They need to understand real-life experiences as well as accept that they don’t have compartments for rest, celebrations or for exams in life. Children might understand this but for parents, it is their distress. Children are only worried about upsetting their parents with low grades. Thus, we need to counsel both children and parents to make them understand that it is sustained perseverance which will take them towards healthy success and not their performance on a test. We track students not only as a learner but also as a person. In the beginning, the child is asked to make a goal sheet for himself which includes goals for academics, the number of books he’d like to read, sports he’d like to play, projects he’d like to do while avoiding repetition. The teacher tracks the student’s progress according to his or her own projection and if there’s a huge variation, we make the student and the teacher sit together to work towards a common target.”

While discussing the constraints in the education ecosystem such as the number of children in a class or the time given for syllabus, Dr. Swati Popat Vats shared her insight on the topic, “If I were to think as an educator, I’d say none of these are constraints because if population were a constraint, we would’ve stopped populating this country by now. I think it is only a mind block. I train Anganwadi and Balwadi teachers who have 80 children in their class and when I told them that they might have an issue with observing each child, their response was ‘Why won’t we be able to do it? If I observe five students in a day, then how will I not be able to do it?’ This is called the attitude of an educator where numbers don’t matter in a class. However, it disappoints me when a private school teacher says that he or she won’t get the time to observe children.”

Dr Swati also spoke about accepting our failures with pride. She averred, “Instead of talking about our education qualifications in our introduction, we need to talk about the times we’ve failed in school and yet, have reached here. It’s not the failure, it’s the perspective that we have to change. Let’s start celebrating failure. It’s not something to be ashamed of or hidden.”

Agreeing with Dr Swati, Vaidyanathan added, “There’s nothing wrong with our system, we’re good products of the system. Why do we believe that change takes a long time? As educators, we need to become agents of change. Lilies have a habit of doubling every night; I think every educator can be a lily. Similarly, marks have nothing to do with the success rates of people. And if all of this is true, then why can’t we make play central to the entire process of pedagogical excellence and transaction? We should not focus on educational qualifications. We need to change the discourse as well as the narratives around the definition of success.”

Dr Swati Popat Vats further enlightened the audience, “Educators and parents should know about the contribution of our education philosophers; one of them is Gijubhai Badheka, who was called ‘mooch wali maa’. He had the courage to teach his teachers to move with the times and motivated educators to teach through stories. How many people know about Panchatantra and what was it about? It was about a king who had five unruly sons and he didn’t know how to teach them. So, he sent them to Visnusarman, who teaches them through stories and these stories became the Panchatantra. This teaches us that we don’t know how to sell ourselves; we are constantly downgrading and criticising ourselves. In national as well as international conferences, we should talk about the good things we’ve done and how we can improve. We need to clap for ourselves because, in spite of the innumerable challenges, we’re delivering. We need to remind ourselves of the rich culture we’ve always had; we’re a civilization that gave the number zero to the world. It’s time that India blew its own trumpet and that responsibility is on all of us.”

The panel encouraged educators to team up with their students to find answers to questions. They motivated them to try out new things to change the ecosystem; an ecosystem that is safe and less threatening to the learner.

Concluding the discussion, Dr Swati asked educators to make the transition from pre-primary to primary and then to secondary, a smoother one. “Let’s not butcher education. Let it be one body and not three different parts.”

UGC Cracks Down on 89 Institutes Over Anti-Ragging Failures

Published

on

University Grants Commission (Image: UGC on X)

In a firm push for accountability, the University Grants Commission (UGC) has issued show-cause notices to 89 higher education institutions for failing to comply with mandatory anti-ragging regulations. The defaulters include some of India’s most prestigious institutions—17 of which are Institutes of National Importance—including IIT Bombay, IIT Kharagpur, IIT Hyderabad, and IIM Bangalore.

These institutions, despite repeated advisories, failed to submit the required anti-ragging undertakings from students and institutional compliance reports. The lapses have been termed a “significant violation of regulatory norms” by the UGC, raising serious concerns over student safety and campus climate in India’s top educational spaces.

A notice dated June 9, signed by UGC Secretary Prof. Manish R Joshi, has directed all 89 institutions to respond within 30 days by submitting comprehensive compliance reports, securing online anti-ragging affidavits from all students, and detailing both current and planned anti-ragging mechanisms.

If the institutions fail to act within the deadline, consequences may include withdrawal of UGC grants, public disclosure of non-compliance status, and potential derecognition or withdrawal of affiliation.

Among the list of defaulters are the Indian Statistical Institute, Kolkata, AIIMS Raebareli, Aligarh Muslim University, RGIPT Basar, and several National Institutes of Design.

The issue becomes even more urgent in light of recent ragging-related incidents and an increasing perception of campus hostility. “Institutions must treat this as a matter of utmost urgency. Your prompt compliance will be essential in upholding institutional responsibility towards student welfare,” reads the UGC’s statement.

Ragging has no place in modern education, especially not in a country positioning itself as a global knowledge leader.

In 2025, with India’s education sector expanding in reach, recognition, and responsibility, compliance with anti-ragging norms shouldn’t require reminders. It should be a given.

As the world watches Indian institutions climb global rankings, student safety and well-being must remain central, not as compliance checkboxes, but as part of the educational culture we aspire to build.

Government Doubles Down on Coaching Centres: New Panel Signals Stronger Regulation Ahead

Published

on

Education Ministry panel to tackle dummy schools and curb overdependence on coaching centres.

In a decisive step toward reforming India’s fragmented senior secondary education system, the Ministry of Education has constituted an 11-member high-level committee to address the mushrooming of dummy schools and the unchecked influence of coaching centres. Chaired by Higher Education Secretary Vineet Joshi, the committee includes representatives from CBSE, NCERT, and faculty from IITs in Madras, Kanpur, and Trichy.

The move is seen as part of a growing policy consensus across central and state governments to reclaim the authority of schools, following recent crackdowns and reforms aimed at regulating coaching institutions and curbing the dummy school culture that sidelines holistic education.

Dummy schools — where students are officially enrolled but rarely attend — have emerged as a by-product of India’s competitive entrance exam culture. These institutions prioritise JEE, NEET, and CUET preparation through coaching classes, while students disengage from formal schooling. The CBSE’s March 2025 advisory warning that students from dummy schools could be barred from board exams marked a serious turning point in policy enforcement.

Earlier this year, the Delhi Government carried out inspections in over 600 private schools, issuing notices to at least 10 for running dummy setups. The move followed media reports and parental complaints about students being denied regular schooling in favour of coaching arrangements.

Meanwhile, the Rajasthan Cabinet approved a bill in April 2025 to regulate coaching centres operating in Kota and other education hubs. The legislation aims to curb exploitative practices, mandate mental health counsellors, and prevent coaching centres from operating without a minimum infrastructure standard—prompted by rising student suicides in the state.

Central Framework and Industry Oversight

In February 2025, the Central Government announced a new framework for coaching centres, proposing registration, transparency in fee structures, and guidelines on advertising to prevent misleading claims. Together with the current committee’s formation, these reforms indicate a systematic tightening of oversight at all levels.

The new panel’s mandate is broad. It will investigate:

  • The socio-academic reasons behind the rise of dummy schools
  • The misalignment between school curricula and competitive exams
  • The impact of coaching on student well-being and critical thinking
  • The need to promote alternate career pathways beyond engineering and medicine
  • Regulations around coaching advertisements and contract practices

A National Rethink on the Purpose of Schooling

Education experts like Dr Ameeta Mulla Wattal have welcomed the initiative, calling it “a vital opportunity to restore the sanctity of school education.” The rise of coaching centres as parallel systems, she noted, has come at the cost of creativity, values, and even mental health in adolescents.

As India contemplates the future of its learners, the Ministry’s recent actions suggest a serious intent to bridge the gap between boardrooms and classrooms. Whether the new committee’s recommendations lead to tangible change remains to be seen, but the signals are clear: education in India must prepare children for life, not just for an entrance exam.

CBSE To Conduct Board Exams Twice for Class 10 from 2026

Published

CBSE Class 10 students will get two chances to appear for board exams (Image: Manoj Kumar)

In a move aimed at reducing academic pressure and offering students a second shot within the same academic year, the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has announced a revised board examination structure for Class 10. Starting from the 2025–26 session, students will appear for two board exams: the first in February and the second in May.

While the February exam will be the ‘main’ board, students who wish to improve their scores in up to three subjects can take the second board exam. Those who fail in one or two subjects may also attempt the May exam under the compartment category. However, those who miss three or more subjects will be marked ‘Essential Repeat’ and have to retake the exam the following year.

Importantly, this is not a semester system. Students must appear for the first exam. The second is optional—meant only for improvement or compartment cases. No additional or new subjects can be added between the two exams.

CBSE has clarified that the structure, syllabus, and pattern of questions will remain unchanged. The results of the first exam will be declared in April, enabling provisional Class 11 admissions. However, the final marksheets and certificates will be issued only after the second exam results are announced in June.

This dual-exam model was opened for public feedback earlier this year and will initially apply only to Class 10. A similar system for Class 12 is being considered but has not yet been confirmed.

For schools, this change will require rethinking academic calendars, counselling processes, and internal assessments, especially for students who may be at risk of needing a second attempt. The move aligns with CBSE’s broader goals of offering students more flexibility and reducing the high stakes of a single board exam.

Tripura Becomes Third Indian State to Achieve Full Literacy

Published

Chief Minister Manik Saha announces Tripura’s full literacy status (Image: The New Indian Express)

 Tripura has been declared a fully literate state, becoming the third in the country to cross the 95% literacy threshold after Goa and Mizoram.

The announcement was made by Chief Minister Dr. Manik Saha, citing data from the Understanding Lifelong Learning for All in Society (ULLAS) programme — a flagship literacy and life skills initiative aligned with the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020. The declaration marks not just an administrative achievement, but a generational leap in educational access and community participation.

Tripura’s current literacy rate stands at 95.6%, as per the latest Periodic Labour Force Survey, a remarkable rise from 87.22% in the 2011 Census, and a far cry from 20.24% in 1961.

“This is a historic moment for Tripura. From a 20% literacy rate six decades ago to 95.6% today, we have rewritten our narrative,” said Dr. Saha in a public post. “Through the successful implementation of ULLAS, we have ensured that literacy is not limited to signing one’s name, but includes the confidence to participate meaningfully in society.”

ULLAS, launched under the New India Literacy Programme, targets adult learners aged 15 and above who have missed out on formal schooling. It goes beyond basic literacy to include numeracy, digital and financial literacy, legal awareness, and other essential life skills — all aligned with NEP 2020’s commitment to equitable lifelong learning.

The shift from traditional signature-based literacy drives to functional literacy has allowed Tripura to reach new learners with practical, future-ready tools. The model also offers a compelling template for other states striving to raise literacy rates beyond conventional benchmarks.

Delhi Schools to Implement Age 6 Rule for Class 1 Admissions from 2026

Published

on

Delhi to implement age 6 rule for Class 1 under NEP 2020 reforms.

In line with the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 and the Right to Education Act (RTE) 2009, the Directorate of Education (DoE), Government of NCT of Delhi, has issued a directive mandating that children must be 6 years old to gain admission into Class 1 starting from the academic session 2026–27.

This move aligns Delhi’s education system with the restructured 5+3+3+4 school framework introduced in the NEP 2020. Under the revised structure, the foundational stage will now include three years of pre-primary education before Class 1: Nursery (Bal Vatika/Preschool 1) at age 3, Lower KG (Preschool 2) at age 4, and Upper KG (Preschool 3) at age 5. Class 1 will be open to children only upon completion of 6 years of age.

All Heads of Government, Government-Aided, and Recognized Unaided Private Schools have been instructed to adopt this change beginning in the 2026–27 academic session.

By standardising entry age norms, the move aims to promote uniformity and developmentally appropriate learning, ensuring children enter Grade 1 equipped with foundational skills from three years of early childhood education.

Tripura Adds Sex Education & HIV Awareness to Their Curriculum

Published

Tripura government has announced plans to integrate sex education and HIV/AIDS awareness into its school curriculum

In a progressive step towards comprehensive health education, the Tripura government has announced plans to integrate sex education and HIV/AIDS awareness into its school curriculum, Chief Minister Manik Saha confirmed.

According to officials, the curriculum update aims to equip students with accurate knowledge about sexual health, disease prevention, and safe practices—key factors in curbing the prevalence of HIV/AIDS in the state. With around 5,000 active cases reported by late 2024, including a notable infection rate of 0.33% among adults and over 800 student cases, the move is seen as a timely measure.

The new content will be deployed through age-appropriate lessons, Red Ribbon Club activities, and sensitisation drives led by health and education officials. This initiative builds upon previous efforts, such as school- and college-level awareness programs, the involvement of key stakeholders, and information, education, and communication (IEC) campaigns across rural and urban centers.

Chief Minister Saha emphasised the role of educators and community leaders in delivering accurate information and fostering a supportive environment: “Students from school to college level should be made aware of the dangers of this disease,” he remarked earlier.

The curriculum integration aligns with state-level action under the National AIDS Control Programme (NACP). It resonates with India’s broader public health mandate to move HIV/AIDS education from stigma to mainstream schooling. By addressing misconceptions and promoting prevention early, Tripura hopes to protect its youth and reduce dropout rates among vulnerable groups.

Four Indian Schools Shine on the Global Stage at World’s Best School Prizes 2024

Published

on

Government Girls Senior Secondary School, NIT-5, Faridabad

In a proud moment for Indian education, four schools from across the country have been named among the top 10 global finalists in the prestigious World’s Best School Prizes 2024, organised by UK-based T4 Education. These awards honour schools that are pushing the boundaries of innovation, inclusion, and community impact — and this year, India has made its presence felt in four out of five categories.

A Snapshot of India’s Global Finalists

From government to private, rural to urban — the diversity of India’s representation this year is striking.

  • Government Girls Senior Secondary School, NIT 5, Faridabad (Haryana)Supporting Healthy Lives
    A government-run school is redefining what public education can achieve. By interweaving nutrition, mental health, and physical well-being into its core ethos, the school is transforming the lives of at-risk girls, ensuring that no student is left behind.

  • Ekya School, JP Nagar, Bengaluru (Karnataka)Innovation
    Recognised for reimagining learning through a design-thinking framework, Ekya encourages student agency, interdisciplinary inquiry, and real-world problem-solving — a blueprint for future-ready schooling.

  • ZP School, Jalindar Nagar, near Pune (Maharashtra)Community Collaboration
    A rural government school that has placed local communities at the heart of education. By building trust and ownership at the grassroots, it has created a model of sustainable, community-driven transformation.

  • Delhi Public School, Varanasi (Uttar Pradesh)Environmental Action
    Known for its strong environmental initiatives, DPS Varanasi’s students lead from the front — managing waste, conserving energy, and creating a campus-wide culture of sustainability.

These schools are now among 50 global finalists, selected from thousands of applications worldwide. The shortlist highlights institutions not merely chasing academic results but actively shaping well-being, equity, and systemic reform in education.

What Happens Next

All 50 finalist schools are now competing for the Community Choice Award, determined through an open global vote. Winners across each of the five main categories — Supporting Healthy Lives, Environmental Action, Innovation, Community Collaboration, and Overcoming Adversity — will be announced in October 2024.

The celebration will culminate at the World Schools Summit in Abu Dhabi in November, where global education leaders will convene for a high-impact dialogue on best practices and policy influence.

The Broader Picture

Launched in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, the World’s Best School Prizes have rapidly emerged as one of the most influential accolades in global education. Powered by T4 Education, a platform that connects over 200,000 educators worldwide, the awards are more than just recognition — they are a launchpad for schools to amplify their voice, scale impact, and drive systems-level change.

For India, the presence of four unique schools among global changemakers is both a celebration and a reminder — that bold ideas, no matter where they are born, can shape the future of learning.

Centre Urges 7 States to Consider Common Board Amid Alarming Student Failure Rates

Published

on

Kendriya Vidyalayas continue to set benchmarks in academic excellence (Logo: Ministry of Education, Govt. of India)

In a significant move aimed at streamlining school assessments and improving learning outcomes, the Ministry of Education has recommended that seven states—Andhra Pradesh, Assam, Kerala, Manipur, Odisha, Telangana, and West Bengal—adopt a common board for Class 10 and 12 examinations.

The recommendation follows a detailed analysis by the Department of School Education, which found that these states accounted for a staggering 66% of student failures across India last academic year. In total, over 22 lakh students failed Class 10, and 20 lakh failed Class 12 nationally in 2024, highlighting persistent challenges in retention and transition to higher education.

“Not having a common board leads to poor academic outcomes,” said School Education Secretary Sanjay Kumar, stressing that standardisation in assessment, curriculum, and evaluation is key to reversing this trend. “A common board is the way forward for ease of schooling,” he added.

India currently has 66 examination boards, including three national-level boards and 63 state-level ones. However, only 33 of these boards cater to 97% of enrolled students. The rest, often covering smaller student populations, contribute disproportionately to inconsistent academic performance.

The report also placed a renewed focus on the National Institute of Open Schooling (NIOS), especially in high-failure states. While NIOS currently has a stronger presence in Delhi, Rajasthan, and Haryana, the ministry wants to see its footprint expand in the recommended states to engage unsuccessful students and prevent dropouts.

However, the report didn’t just stop at structural issues. It shed light on regional and linguistic disparities in student performance. For instance, students taking exams in Odia and Malayalam consistently outperformed peers writing in Kannada, Telugu, and Assamese. Interestingly, Kerala, with its integrated board system, recorded an astounding pass rate of 99.96%. Odisha and Manipur also showed success rates above 97%.

Meanwhile, Navodaya Vidyalayas (NVs) and Kendriya Vidyalayas (KVs) continue to set benchmarks in academic excellence. The report found that 72% of NV students cleared NEET-UG, with strong showings also reported in engineering entrance exams. NVs, which cater primarily to rural talent, seem to be reinforcing the case for equity in access to quality education.

As conversations around NEP 2020 continue to push for holistic, inclusive, and standardised learning, the Centre’s recommendation serves as both a wake-up call and a window of opportunity. With the right reforms, these states could be on the brink of a transformative shift in student success.

IIT Delhi Leads India in the QS Rankings 2026; MIT Tops Globally

Indian institutions continue their upward momentum on the global academic stage, with IIT Delhi emerging as the country’s top-ranked university in the QS World University Rankings 2026, securing the 123rd spot. It is closely followed by IIT Bombay at 129 and IIT Madras at 180, solidifying India’s footprint in the global top 200. However, no Indian university has yet broken into the top 100.

The latest edition of the QS rankings, released by higher education analysts Quacquarelli Symonds, evaluates over 1,500 universities across more than 100 countries. The rankings serve as a barometer of academic excellence, research output, and global relevance.

At the global level, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) retains its crown, scoring a perfect 100. Imperial College London follows in second place (99.4), with Stanford University (98.9), the University of Oxford, and Harvard University rounding out the top five. Institutions from the US and the United Kingdom continue to dominate the upper echelons of the list, though Asia-Pacific universities are making notable gains.

Among the rising performers, Malaysia’s Sunway University recorded the most dramatic leap, climbing 120 places in a single year.

The QS World University Rankings 2026 place increasing emphasis on research impact, global engagement, and sustainability, alongside traditional indicators like academic and employer reputation, faculty-student ratio, and internationalisation.

Despite a vast student population and growing academic ambition, no Indian university has entered the global top 100—a gap that invites reflection. While the steady rise of institutions like IIT Delhi signals progress, it also highlights the need for sustained investment, deeper international collaborations, and a sharper focus on research and innovation. The QS rankings, then, are not just a recognition of how far Indian higher education has come, but also a gentle nudge towards how much further it can go.

Chandigarh, Punjab Lead in School Education Rankings; Meghalaya Trails Behind

Published

on

Meghalaya finds itself at the bottom of the PGI-D 2023–24 rankings, with a score of 417.9 out of 1,000.

The Union Ministry of Education has released the Performance Grading Index for Districts (PGI-D) 2023–24, assessing how states and union territories (UTs) fared across critical school education indicators such as learning outcomes, equity, and infrastructure. The report places Chandigarh at the top, with Delhi and Punjab also emerging as strong performers.

The PGI-D ranks regions across ten performance levels, with Utkarsh being the highest possible grade, awarded to those scoring above 90% of 1,000 total points. However, no state or UT achieved that benchmark this year. Chandigarh was the only unit placed in Prachesta-1, the fifth-highest band, with a score between 701–760 points.

Ten other states and UTs, including Delhi, Punjab, Gujarat, Odisha, Kerala, Dadra and Nagar Haveli, Haryana, Goa, Maharashtra, and Rajasthan, were placed in Prachesta-3—the seventh tier on the index—with scores ranging from 581 to 640.

Meanwhile, Meghalaya stood at the bottom of the list with a score of 417.9, becoming the only state placed in the tenth and lowest category. Mid-performing regions included Tamil Nadu, Puducherry, Karnataka, West Bengal, Andaman and Nicobar Islands, and Himachal Pradesh.

According to officials, the PGI-D is designed to act as a catalyst for system-level improvements, offering comparative data to support evidence-based decision-making. By standardising assessment across a range of domains, the index aims to help districts identify learning gaps, infrastructural deficits, and policy blind spots.

While the top bands remain elusive, the data offers insights into where systemic support and targeted interventions are needed most.
