The state cabinet on Wednesday cleared a proposal to set up 25 new English medium residential schools, or ashramshalas, for tribal students at the primary education level from the upcoming academic year. It also gave its nod for 52 existing ashramshalas to switch to English and semi-English mediums of instruction. While in English medium schools, the language will be introduced as a medium of instruction from Class 1, in semi-English schools, Science and Math will be taught in English from Class 6.
The proposal had been mooted by the tribal department, in response to demand from parents of tribal students. The move will allow them to cope with English in college and compete for professional and technical courses, the parents had said.
The department currently runs 502 Marathi medium residential schools, with more than 2 lakh tribal students, at the primary and secondary levels of education. “We have 25 secondary English medium ashramshalas (from Class 6 to 12) under the Centre’s Eklavya Model Residency School scheme. Students who are admitted in these schools find it difficult to cope after completing their primary education in Marathi,” said Ashok Uike, tribal development minister.
The department is also seeking the help of social organisations working in the education sector and colleges offering Bachelor and Diploma in Education (BEd and DEd) from outside the state, to appoint competent teachers in these schools. “We are also engaging institutions like the British Council to train our existing teachers. The move will help tribal students compete in various competitive exams and access professional education streams such as medical and engineering,” said Manisha Verma, principal secretary, tribal development department.
Vasant Purke, former education minister and a tribal leader from Congress, said “I welcome the decision as it is the need of the hour. My only question is how is the government planning to ensure competent teachers for the English medium schools. BJP-led government’s priority has never been school education and it has not been able to ensure adequate outlay for the department. Best internationsl Schools in Kumbakonam The infrastructure and educational environment in the schools are in a poor condition.”
Over the last few years, the state has already admitted more than 45,000 students in 179 private residential schools, in an attempt to incorporate them with the mainstream population.

Enjoy a high-quality, future-ready education - Best School Kumbakonam

Enjoy a high-quality, future-ready education - Best School Kumbakonam Top 10 cbse schools list in Kumbakonam The international community has been much more able to recognize the need for pedagogical change than to address what the pedagogical approaches actually are. This report lays the foundations of what the pedagogical choices are (see the six clusters of innovative pedagogies figure and their key enablers). We focus on teacher learning and the need to develop the foundations for quality teaching, as well as on widening the profile of educators as integral to pedagogical and system transformation. The complexity of the 21st century and the demanding nature of professionalism call for hybrid learning environments and for the scaffolding of coherent educational models and complementary support materials. Transformation demands scaling as deep change in cultures of collaboration. The report argues the pivotal role of the “missing middle,” or “meso,” level—of networks, cha...

PRIMARY SCHOOLS USING MUCH MORE OF THEIR BUDGETS - Best School Kumbakonam

PRIMARY SCHOOLS USING MUCH MORE OF THEIR BUDGETs - Best SChool Kumbakonam Best matriculation girls schools in Kumbakonam Primary schools are using their budgets much more. Last year the school boards had 5.9 million euros of their budgets left over at the end of the year. In 2017 it was just over 106 million euros, Trouw reports based on figures from education executive agency DUO. Schools' tendency to not use their complete budget led to criticism last year. Ministers Ingrid van Engelshoven of Education, Culture and Science and Arie Slob for Primary- and Secondary Education called the left-over amount remarkable, given the fact that the education sector was demanding extra money to lower teachers' workloads. "Saving must not become a goal in itself", the Ministers wrote in a letter to parliament. "After all, it involves money intended for education." The Education Inspectorate wrote a report stating that school boards are far too conser...
