India on Wednesday asked Beijing-based multilateral lending agency AIIB to scale up investments in priority areas like clean energy and infrastructure sector with a special focus on education and health.

A day after its first round of seat allocation concluded with the majority of them getting filled up, Delhi University on Wednesday published a list of vacant seats.

India a leader in skills expansion of national curriculum, new study finds

India is a leader when it comes to expanding its national curriculum for education to include a broader range of new skills for young people, a new study of 20 countries around the world has found. The Economist Group's Economist Impact research arm used the Learning Ecosystems Framework, commissioned by Jacobs Foundation, to find that India is one of the best performing countries in matching ambitions for personalised learning with the time teachers get to spend with their students. The research also found that 70 per cent of teachers surveyed in India feel they have adequate time to spend with each student, compared to an average of only 50 per cent across the 20 countries studied. We hope that this Learning Ecosystems Framework will help countries understand how well their learning ecosystems are performing and how they can be supported to further evolve, said Fabio Segura and Simon Sommer, co-CEOs of the Jacobs Foundation. But this framework is only the first step in a long ...

5G service will take education system to next level: PM Narendra Modi

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday said the recently launched 5G telecom service will take the education system to the next level in the country. The prime minister was speaking after launching the Gujarat government's Mission Schools of Excellence initiative at Adalaj town in Gandhinagar district. He pointed out that knowledge of English was considered as the mark of being intellectual even though the English language is just a medium of communication. "The 5G service will go beyond smart facilities, smart classrooms and well as smart teachings. It will take our education system to the next level," the prime minister said. He advocated the use of local languages to make sure those uncomfortable with English are not left behind. "Earlier, knowledge of the English language was considered a mark of being intellectual. In reality, the English language is just a medium of communication," the prime minister said.

DU defers first seat allocation round for UG admission to Wednesday

The Delhi University, which was scheduled to announce the first list of seat allocation in its colleges on Tuesday, has deferred the process by a day, officials said. The development comes as the Supreme Court is set to hear on Wednesday a plea by St Stephen's College, one of the colleges under DU, against a Delhi High Court order on admissions. The high court has asked the college to follow the admission policy formulated by DU, according to which 100 per cent weightage has to be given to the Common University Entrance Test (CUET)-2022 score while granting admissions to non-minority students in its undergraduate courses. St Stephen's College, however, wants to give only 85 per cent weightage to CUET and 15 per cent to interviews for admitting students across categories. According to the detailed schedule released by DU, the first seat allocation list was to be announced on October 18. "The varsity will now issue the list on Wednesday," an official told PTI on Tuesday. DU began .
