There’s an epidemic of fake news and fake information in the Education News India domain. But it’s not just about CUET, JEE, REET, or other tests. There are a variety of education technologies that are being used to improve learning. The use of education technology has expanded beyond the metros and urban centres, reaching even Tier II and Tier III cities. Here’s a look at some of the latest innovations in the field.
REET
In an age when competition for jobs is fierce, REET has been the subject of heated discussion, with many university graduates eager to teach in Rajasthan. However, this recruitment exam is being contested by 1.6 million people who have registered for the test, and they are competing against each other for a limited number of teaching positions. During the pandemic, students often mobilize to demand changes to exam policies and increased REET posts.
CUET
CUET is a new undergraduate entrance exam being introduced by the government of India. The exam is valid only for students who wish to study at the School of Languages in Delhi. The UGC has said that the new test will ease the financial burden on students. But there are some concerns about the test. Some educators argue that the test will increase the number of coaching centers, putting students under a lot of pressure. Another concern is that the test is based on the old NCERT textbooks, which may not be as valuable to CBSE students.
JEE
There are several ways to apply for a top engineering college in the country. One of them is the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE). A ranking list for engineering and medical aspirants could be based on marks from Physics and Mathematics, respectively. The TOI also lists the various opportunities for application to other engineering colleges. This article will explore the various options available. Also, we’ll discuss the future of JEE. Here’s what you should know about applying for a top engineering college in India.
Pandemic in India
A coronavirus outbreak in India has sickened and killed hundreds of thousands of people. The country has largely returned to classrooms this month after the virus spread rapidly through the school system. While the number of new cases each day has dropped from 400,000 in May, Saturday saw the highest number of cases in almost two months. But the impact of the virus on rural and under-resourced children remains unclear. Some experts are concerned that the new outbreak may lead to higher rates of malnutrition and education.
NEP 2020
The government’s ambitious NEP 2020 targets are designed to achieve education equity and quality by 2030. Universalization of school education is one of the key initiatives of NEP 2020. It would return two crore children to school and increase GER by 100%. This reform would expose students to multilevel, interactive, experiential, and critical thinking classroom learning. NEP 2020 would also include the implementation of right to education. Its implementation is crucial to achieve its goals.
