PRIORITISING OUR AIMS

What is CCE doing to our country?

The removal of CCE has been pulling the reins of the innumerous people in India. CCE or Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation was a process of assessment,mandated by the Right to Education Act of Indian in 2009. The CCE aims to evaluate every aspect of the child during thier presence at the school. It had been “forseen” that these might help reduce the workload on Young Minds. Also CCE implies that the students have to take part in all assignments and summatives.Althoughmore it was claimed to bring an enormous change from the traditional ‘chalk and talk” method of teaching.

Apart from all its idealistic motives, the implications have rather been “mediocre”. However the system  has been highly critized for focussing more on projects and activities. Critics also state that students’ workload has not exactly reduced significantly. This is due to the fact, students are wrestling with projects and oral tests all the year round. The CCE has affected the minds, positively and negatively, but the government’s proposition has been very effective, as the demerits was more. 
Getting back to the traditional customs of the schooling,many children are able to focus more on their,summative exams rather than spending futile hours on "charts and group discussions”. Although,this might encourage teamwork,what about the people who do not want to socialise? Especially via projects? Probably,there are better measures on which socialising skills can be improvised.

Personal opinions by critics are being taken into view, and mainly stresses upon the fact that it just increases the workload on a child and may not lead to any gain in learning.
The major downside of CCE system is the grading system.This is because the bracket is very wide; that is, students that score between 90 and 99 will get an A+ grade. Now,we can see that this as a positive scheme because it gives the chance for students to recieve a higher grade,but let us highlight the fact that a student scoring 8 points more, but does not  get the same grade. Well,that is somethig to think about right? Just by a difference of scribbled marks, a person gets a completely different grade.Now, that is quite an appaling state of affairs in the educatiom system of India. Moreover, a student may feel more pressure to get a higher grade because the grade margin is substantially larger than we would expect.
Secondly, adding to the demerits,CCE is just an alternative, but never made any change. 
Thirdly, the CCE was that the teachers found it extremely hard and tiring to evaluate so many papers,assignments and projects. This was recognised and sympatised by the government and hence the proposition for the removal the  CCE pattern was granted.

Shedding some light on the solutions or alternatives for CCE, the governmant might take these into account.
Firstly, choices must be provided at a comaritively lower grade as the students have thier best interests at heart.  Also, when this is provided childern are well aware of the happenings and can take better decisions. Also,when the choices are less,students are less perplexed and shall ponder less to persue an career.Secondly, as childern are able to study all the sylabus at once, this paves the way for more extra cirricular activities and sports.Thirdly, giving more emphaisis on analitical thinking and better filtering of students and this must be done through interviews. This will give better communications etiquettes.

Apart from the seaming turmoil among the various institutions, people have been satisfied with the removal of CCE and this might seem the best alternative in the long run.All in all, the discussion of the CCE will still strike a students, but yes, this has been the best moves the government has taken.

(editorial 2)                        Pros about keeping a gun August 30, 2018                     - by Shreya LN and Yamini R V Mohite First of all, in Qatar, possession of a firearm without a licence is punishable by a jail sentence of up to fourteen years. In committee, the pros and cons of civilians owning guns was being spoken about and the delegate of Afghanistan had quite a lot to say. In Afghanistan, firearms are provided to the civilians, or bought by the civilians with a license. The delegate of Afghanistan strongly stated that ‘most’ of the citizens use these guns for self-defence. It is very much possible that the civilians themselves may become non state actors by the influence of these firearms. But, this would not really happen if the background of the person the firearm or the licence for the firearm is being sold to is first checked and only then the licen...

The two Superpowers, China and the United States of America made two separate blocs. These blocs made two working papers as a draft to make a resolution. These two blocs were the only two blocs in the DISEC general assembly. The working paper of the bloc headed by the delegate of the United States of America was sponsored by the delegate of South Korea, the delegate of Germany, the delegate of the United Kingdom and the delegate of France. The working paper of the delegate of China was sponsored by the delegate of Russia, delegate of Iraq, delegate of Iran, delegate of Nepal and delegate of DPRK.

This will enable cyber-criminals to be caught. The bloc led by the delegate...

United States; Divided Thoughts

It is a widely acknowledged fact that the United States conducts itself in a hypocritical manner, and contradicts itself repeatedly in international forums. The Disarmament and International Security Council proved to be no different, and the press conference revealed the double standards the government has for its citizens. The United States has conducted itself in an entirely unfit manner, but somehow, it remains unsurprising. When asked informally, the delegate of the US said that she would refuse to answer any questions in the press conference, so it came as a surprise when she spoke on gun control regulations within the US. The delegate stated that the American government believes that the ownership of guns gives its citizens much needed peace of mind, and protection. When a member of the press quoted the horrifying statistics of gun violence in only 2018 within the US- Total number of incidents being 38,451; number of deaths being 9,650; number of children below the age of ...
