Malala Yousafzai marks her 18th birthday by opening a school for Syrian refugees

written by anik

Malala Yousafzai opens up a school for Syrian refugeesMalala Yousafzai, the youngest winner of the Nobel Peace Prize, celebrated her 18th birthday in Lebanon on Sunday by opening a school for Syrian refugee girls, repeating her call for world leaders to invest in “books not bullets”.

Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Malala Yousafzai proved herself to be a symbol of  strength and defiance yet again, as she opened a school for Syrian refugee girls and reinstated the concept of ‘Books over Bullets’.

She marked her 18th birthday by advocating girls’ education right once again, after the Taliban incident in 2012. She recently met with World Bank President Jim Yong Kim to discuss the Sustainable Development Goals, one that included education. According to reports over the years, as many as 58 million children don’t go to school. Although, the basic education fund has gone up from 2002 to 2009, the number of children getting in school has stagnated ever since.

The Malala Fund, a non-profit organisation that supports local education projects, paid for the school in the Bekaa Valley, close to the Syrian border where around 200 girls aged between 14-18 years will study.

In an effort to promote the theory all over the world, Malala has also launched the BooksNotBullets hashtag over the social media. Fed with birthday cake and birthday songs, Malala was moved to tears by the girls at the event.

For instance, if I type in “social media,” I get results that look like this:

One of the best ways to find out where influencers in your niche are guest blogging is to use a tool like Followerwonk. Here’s how: Go to the Search Bios section of Followerwonk, and select, ‘search Twitter bios.’ Searching here will allow you to comb through Twitter for users who include relevant, industry-related keywords in their bios.

This search doesn’t immediately give me what I was looking for. Instead, these appear to be bios for social media consultants and companies. This is where Followerwonk’s Social Authority filter comes in handy. Simply click on the Social Authority link at the top right of the results to show the most influential users first. Using this filter, I get results that look like this:

The latter half of the ‘Schools Week’ will witness stimulating discussions on ‘Unlocking a world of potential: Core skills for learning, work and society’ by industry specialists.

The programme intents  to pander to British Council’s consistent endeavours to construct more grounded connections in view of commonality and associations.
Generation UK India Teaching Assistants Programme aims to bring 25,000 young aspirants from the UK to India to experience and understand a vibrant India.

“The Generation UK-India Programme encourages internationalism and is a fantastic opportunity for young people from the UK to come and learn about India, one of the countries that will shape the 21st century. Their experience will help broaden their understanding and their ability to operate in diverse contexts and a multi-cultural environment. This will hopefully lead to stronger links and partnerships between the UK and India”, said Rob Lynes, Director India, and British Council.

CBCS syllabi authorised by Delhi University Academic Council, approved courses to commence from July 20

by anik
written by anik

 

Delhi UniversityThis year’s dust storm, the Choice Based Credit System (COBS), is particularly intense. The University Grants Commission will be responsible for designing both syllabi and structure for course.

Without spending much time, DU issued a statement, saying, “AC in its meeting approved with a huge majority (79 to 22) all courses under COBS for the ensuing academic session commencing July 20″.

It further claimed,”A heartwarming feature is that teachers have cooperated in large numbers with the framing of the courses of study through their departments and proper procedures have been followed by these departments and by their respective affiliating faculties”. The syllabi will be placed before Executive Council on Tuesday.

According to the statement of EC member Abha D Habib, “It was pre-decided that CBCS is to be implemented, but the agenda was on passing the syllabi. There was no deliberation on CBCS and this is completely illegal”. Out of the 23 elected teachers’ representatives, 22 dissented.
The elected members raised objections on the meeting itself as it was called violating regular procedures, said Delhi University’s Teachers Association.

It is believed that the teachers across the country are being told what to teach without their participation in policymaking and designing courses. It will alienate teachers and educators who are crucial for any change to take shape in classrooms and labs. This refusal to use their expertise in deciding the structure and content is most damaging for the quality of education.

Academics for Action and Development stated, “The letter from HRD secretary on introduction of CBCS in all central universities is in direct conflict with the powers of the universities”.

Following nine hours of levelheaded discussion on the syllabi under Choice Based Credit System at DU’s Academic Council on Monday, the vice-chancellor unexpectedly disrupted the meeting, said elected teachers’ representatives. The syllabi of more than 100 courses were set before the gathering.

Schools to conduct admissions under RTE after Bombay High Court elucidation

by anik
written by anik

Bombay High CourtA fresh circular has been issued to all the education officers in the state of Maharashtra by the primary Education Directorate to grant admission to students who have applied under the Right to Education Act, 2009.

According to the statement of Dinkar Temkar, deputy director, Primary education, we have asked all education officers to submit a report on the number of admissions and vacant seats. We are not accepting any fresh applications. We are just asking all the districts to ensure that all the children allotted seats get admission in schools. The admissions will be done as per the status before April 30 government resolution which made Class 1 entry level mandatory”.

The Bombay High Court on Tuesday had illuminated that they had not stayed the admissions under the 25 per cent RTE quota. The court had pulled up the legislature for carelessness and had requested that it show the status report of admissions under RTE in the state on Friday.

Nonetheless, regardless of the court’s elucidation and the state education department’s notification, not a solitary school has begun admission, claimed Kagad Kach Patra Kashtakari Panchayat, the petioner for the situation.

As many as 6,000 applications were received for the first round, of which almost 3,000 students were allotted seats.

“Of this, as many as 1,700 seats were confirmed. But even in these seats, how many of them have actually been allowed to attend classes and how many of them have been asked to pay fees is unknown. The government has taken a very lax view of the entire process and there is a feeling among schools that nobody can touch them which is creating all this problem,” said Maitreyi Shankar, activist, KKPKP.

According to the RTE Act, there are very few alternatives to rebuff a school with the exception of de-recognising it, which in the long run is a discipline for students more than the management. “We have not yet chosen the discipline for failing schools, but rather we will send them sees on Monday,” said an official.

Find out where prolific bloggers in your niche contribute

by onkar
written by onkar

Not every site will explicitly identify guest blogging opportunities. Sites that already receive many unsolicited pitches may not provide a process for applying to become a guest contributor, making the above queries ineffective. This doesn’t mean, however, that there are no opportunities; it simply means that you’ll need to be smarter, or at least you’ll need to work smarter than the average would-be guest blogger.

To find out where influencers in your niche contribute guest posts, start with a simple Google search for the influencer’s full name. Scroll through the search results to see which sites they’ve contributed to. This basic search will likely elicit and reveal many relevant searches, like media or blog mentions. To get even more specific, try the following operators:

[Influencer name] guest.

[Influencer name] guest post.

[Influencer name] author.

Another strategy is to visit the social media profiles of prolific bloggers in your industry. Many will promote their guest posts via social media, and some will even reference their regular guest posting gigs in their profiles or bios. Google+ is perhaps the best social networking site for this strategy: Visit the profile of the person you’re investigating, and click on, ‘About.’ Scroll down to the bottom of the page and look for the ‘Contributor to’ section. Most prolific bloggers will be proud to include links to the outlets they contribute to.
