Bengal Colleges to reopen in Nov, govt may ask UGC to delay academic year

West Bengal schools, West Bengal schools open, West Bengal colleges, West Bengal colleges open, India news, Indian Express — Partha Chatterjee: West Bengal Education Minister

The new academic session of both undergraduate (UG) and postgraduate (PG) colleges and universities in West Bengal will begin from December 1. The decision came after a meeting between Vice-Chancellors of state universities and West Bengal Higher Education Minister Partha Chatterjee on Sunday.

Education Minister Partha Chatterjee said that the reason they are planning to start the new academic session in December is because host of festivals that are lined up in November including Lakshmi puja, Kali puja/Diwali, Chhat puja, Jagaddhatri puja etc.

Chatterjee said, “As we need to sanitise the institution premises before starting the academic session in full course, we have to take into account the four-five festive days when no work will be possible. So it will be in the fitness of things to start the new sessions from December.”

He said since most universities have already adopted online teaching for the mid semester courses and providing course materials to students who don’t have online facilities, starting the new session won’t be hopefully of much problem.

“Still whether the classes will be entirely online or there will also be offline mode of teaching will depend on the situation at that time,” the minister added.

While admissions to UG courses will be over by October 31, the admission procedure in PG courses will be completed only by the end of November.

The education minister said his department would write to the University Grants Commission (UGC), asking it to allow the state to start the new academic year from December.

In a notice on September 22, the UGC said the admission process for UG first-year students would have to be completed by October 31, and classes should resume on November 1.

Meanwhile, sources said the universities decided to reserve 80 per cent of seats in PG courses for students who completed their graduation in an affiliated college, or in the institute itself. The decision was taken because of the Covid-19 pandemic, and curbs in transport. As a result, many graduates may find it difficult to pursue higher studies in institutions outside the state.

Teachers During the Pandemic

Teachers during the pandemic

The outbreak of the novel coronavirus has significantly affected all sectors including the education sector, the agriculture sector, the industrial sector, and our economy in its entirety. This unforeseen virus has single-handedly disrupted the entire world, from every country’s economy to everyone’s professional as well as personal life. One of the sectors which have been deeply affected is the education sector. Schools have been working offline efficiently for a long time and expecting a fluid switch from offline classes to e-learning is not practical. Most of the schools and the students are not well-equipped with technology to conduct classes regularly, administer tests, organise co-curricular activities, et cetera. Teachers now have to work double the amount they did with the same, if not less, salary.

Here are some problems that teachers are facing in our country:

• Technological Gap

On one hand, the previous generation is not familiar with technology and on the other, the present generation excels in this area. All their existing curriculum plans are no longer applicable for online learning, thus, they have had to opt for new timetables and plans which may or may not be favourable for them. Learning your way around new applications, especially at the risk of your job, is not an easy task. Upon that, teachers are also made to feel embarrassed because of their lack of knowledge in this area.

• Unemployment or fall in salary

In these difficult times, teachers are facing financial problems. Due to classes no longer being conducted in many schools or shut down of local schools, teachers and other employees are losing their jobs. The sports department is not engaged in teaching or other activities due to the lockdown and social distancing protocols which do not allow sports. Many teachers have been cut and their work given to others, overburdening them while leaving the others unemployed. Some educational institutions are reducing the salaries of their employees, or simply making them work by not giving them their well-deserved pay.

• Household chores

India, a country which follows a largely patriarchal system, has about 70 female teachers per a hundred men. Women in our country are expected to attend to all the household chores. Many teachers of this age also have kids, whom they need to handle during the classes as well. Thus, teachers, both male and female, are overburdened with work. Having classes 6 days a week and handling your house are not easy tasks, especially with the added stress of the pandemic and the uncertain future.

• Bullying

Students are taking advantage of the anonymity that the internet provides. Disrupting classes, passing snide comments, making fun of the teacher, et cetera are very common these days. Students do it out of fun or boredom, what they do not realise is the deep mental effects bullying has on others. Teachers are already pressurised by the schools and the demand to quickly adapt to new teaching methods, they also have to go through this.

Elementary class teachers are finding it difficult to engage students. Their screen time is increasing and as teaching takes up most of their day, their physical exercise has reduced. Social isolation and all these factors together are negatively affecting our teachers. Let’s take a vow to be kinder to them as they are surely doing their best!

HARYANA: COLLEGES TO REOPEN ON 26TH SEP FOR TRIAL RUN

The Haryana government has allowed reopening of universities and colleges amid COVID-19 outbreak to enable the students to seek guidance from their teachers, with a trial run to start from September 26.

In a communication, dated September 22, to all universities and colleges in the state, the higher education department has directed them to complete all safety protocols related to COVID-19 and communicate the same by Friday.

The letter from the Director-General of the department refers to the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) guidelines wherein students from classes 9 to 12 are allowed to visit schools from September 21 on voluntary basis for taking guidance from their teachers with their parents’ consent.

“Keeping this in view, the universities and colleges may also be allowed to open for students seeking guidance from teachers in a staggered manner,” the letter read.

All protocols recommended by the government, including for sanitisation and social distancing, shall be followed by the institutions, as per the letter.

After remaining shut for the past six months due to the COVID-19 outbreak, the Haryana government had recently allowed students of classes 9 to 12 to visit their schools in areas outside COVID containment zones, on voluntary basis for academic guidance.

The decision was taken in compliance with the Unlock-4 guidelines issued by the Union Ministry of Home Affairs.

In view of the coronavirus-induced lockdown, educational institutes across the country have switched to online mode to impart academic lessons.

According to the schedule prepared by the Haryana higher education department, Bachelor of Arts (BA) first-year students may visit the colleges and universities between 9 am to 12 noon on Mondays and Tuesdays.

“BCom and BSc first-year students will visit the institutes between 12.30 pm to 3.30 pm on Mondays and Tuesdays.

BA second-year students will visit on Wednesdays and Thursdays between 9 am and 12 pm, while BCom and BSc second-year students may go between 12.30 pm to 3.30 pm on Wednesdays and Thursdays.

“BA third-year and Post Graduation (PG) first year students may visit the colleges between 9 am to 12 noon on Fridays and Saturdays; while BCom and BSc final-year students and PG second-year students can go between 12.30 pm to 3.30 pm on Fridays and Saturdays,” the letter added.

How to prepare for college?

Change is the only constant in life. When we leave our teenage years behind, we go through some drastic life changes. For attending college, we may leave our homes, part with our friends, graduate from the school we grew up in and settle in a new, unfamiliar place. Adapting to these big changes is not easy, initially, we feel home-sick, may get into bad habits, have trouble making new friends, or even studying. Here are some things you can do to make your college life easier:

• Learning basic skills

At homes, we are used to being pampered and don’t have to do much around the house. From cooking to laundry, most of us teenagers rely on our parents, guardians or housemaids. This proves a tough challenge in college life. We have some time on our hands due to the global pandemic and we should utilise it to learn basic life skills. Learning how to cook and clean will help us greatly not only during our college years but after that as well.

• Handling finance

Money, the most wanted paper in the world, but it’s never a part of our school’s curriculum. Until the age of 18, I never managed any sort of finance, be it my uber rides or school canteen bills. Immediately after, we are expected to operate ATMs, save money, have our own bank account and handle it while managing our studied and maintaining our social life. As learning about finance is one of the most important life skills, we should not wait till college. Familiarising with fiscal concepts such as expenditures and savings, utilising student benefits, et cetera is of extreme importance.

• Being analytical

In school, the approach for teaching students is different from college. College is more about learning through analysis, there is no one book we have to read or a well-defined course we have to follow. While referring to multiple sources, we have to practice an analytical approach when we answer. In college assignments, we may be asked to give our opinion on a topic or observe and write about a relevant movie or book. For this, we need to broaden our minds and get ready to learn.

• Learning to deal with hassles

Hassles are minor incidents that occur without any warning and cause stress. Traffic while going to work or a power cut in the middle of a hot summer day are some hassles we may have to deal with. Thinking of proper solutions to handle these daily stress-causing issues is also a skill which we acquire only after facing them or learning through someone else’s experience. In our college life, we do not have a cushion to fall back on, therefore, the responsibility of handling every problem we face falls solely on us. Adding to our already difficult and new college life, daily hassles need to be conquered by preparing for them beforehand to have a less stressful day.

Transitioning from school to college can be really tough. Make sure to do everything you can to prepare yourself for an amazing college life. After this pandemic ends, live your life to the fullest!

Prescott College

For the Liberal Arts, the Environment, & Social Justice

Mission

It is the mission of Prescott College to educate students of diverse ages and backgrounds to understand, thrive in, and enhance our world community and environment. We regard learning as a continuing process and strive to provide an education that will enable students to live productive lives while achieving a balance between self-fulfillment and service to others. Students are encouraged to think critically and act ethically with sensitivity to both the human community and the biosphere. Our philosophy stresses experiential learning and self-direction within an interdisciplinary curriculum.

Roots and Foundation: Prescott College History

Prescott College began in the 1960s, a time of optimism and growth, when leaders of a small town in the stunningly beautiful pine and chaparral country of central Arizona were searching for a new cultural identity. Dr. Charles Franklin Parker, minister of Prescott’s First Congregational Church and Prescott College founder, announced the ambitious project of creating the Harvard of the West – Prescott College. With the group of visionary leaders, Parker drew on the Congregationalist tradition of founding over 50 leading colleges and universities in America, beginning with Harvard in 1636, and including such institutions as Middlebury, Dartmouth, Amherst, Smith, Yale, Oberlin, Grinnell, Whitman, Colorado, Pomona and Scripps.

Making a Difference in a Changing World . . .

Many of the College\’s core philosophical and educational principles emerged in 1963, in a conference of state and nationally known leaders from higher education funded by the Ford Foundation’s Fund for Post-Secondary Education, Business and Industry. These principles crystallized around a central goal: To produce the leaders increasingly crucial to successfully meeting the challenges of the changing world. Dr. Parker’s vision “for a pioneering, even radical experiment in higher education “ and “to graduate society’s leaders for the twenty-first century who would be needed to solve the world’s growing environmental and social problems” seems especially prescient today, as humanity comes to terms with global warming and its potential for large-scale, adverse health, social, economic, and ecological effects. Society looks to new models of education to better prepare students of all ages for their role as global citizens.

Maricopa Community Colleges

Maricopa Community Colleges’ nationally recognized programs help more than 200,000 students each year achieve their goals. Our 10 accredited colleges offer a diverse range of programs at convenient locations across the Valley, but our goal is the same – your success.

85% of the parents of this state are in favor of the school opening from September, the education department told the plan.

The biggest question among the Corona virus epidemic is about the opening of schools and colleges. Some people are in favor of opening the school and many are against it. Meanwhile, a survey has revealed shocking results. The survey has been conducted by the Education Department of the state Haryana adjacent to Delhi.

In this survey of Haryana Education Department, it has been found that about 85% of the students of class 10th and 12th in the state are in favor of opening school from September 2020. Despite the dangers of the Corona epidemic, these parents are ready to send their children to school.

The survey was conducted online by the state school education department. In this, parents of a total of 76,019 students of class 10th and 12th of various government schools of the state attended. It included a few schools from all the 22 districts of the state.

What questions were asked from parents
These four questions were asked by the education department to all parents –

Should schools be opened by September 2020?
Are parents ready to send their children to school from September 2020?
Have any of your family members conducted the Kovid test?
Have any of your family members been found to be Kovid positive? … so how will the schools be opened now.

An Education Department official said that ‘most of the students of 10th-12th students are in favor of opening of schools. Therefore, the department has decided to run trial run by opening two schools in different districts first. Government Senior Secondary School in Karnal and Government High School in Sonepat will be opened for four days. Dates will be revealed soon. ‘ In these four days, every movement of the school will be recorded on cameras. How students come to school, how they enter, how classes attend, or not touch each other, how they get out of school .. All these things will be recorded. Classes will be held in small groups instead of classrooms. After the trial, a team of seven members of the education department, including health and hygiene experts, will watch these video recordings to see if all the rules are being followed. If there is a shortage, teachers will be asked to remove it the very next day. These recordings will be shown to every teacher before school opens. The education department is preparing to open schools for class 10th and 12th from September 21.

Students have to submit written consent of their parents for this. An official of the Directorate of School Education has told that the ‘School Management Committee will conduct a survey from the parents of all the students from class 9th to 12th. If 60 percent or more of the parents are in favor of opening the school, it will be recorded in the school register. However, all these things are still in the planning stage.
