A bench of Acting Chief Justice Manmohan and Justice Manmeet PS Arora stayed certain directions issued by a single judge of the high court in the December 5, 2023 judgment which had raised the threshold income limit from Rs 1 Lakh to Rs 5 lakh annually until the government amended the relevant law. The high court passed the interim order on an appeal filed by the Delhi government challenging the single judge's decision. The single judge had also directed the Delhi government to immediately do away with the mechanism of self-declaration of income by parents and devise an appropriate framework for continuation of free seats for EWS in schools.

America's poor math skills raise alarms over global competitiveness

Like a lot of high school students, Kevin Tran loves superheroes, though perhaps for different reasons than his classmates. They're all insanely smart. In their regular jobs they're engineers, they're scientists, said Tran, 17. And you can't do any of those things without math. Tran also loves math. This summer, he studied calculus five hours a day with other high schoolers in a program at Northeastern University. But Tran and his friends are not the norm. Many Americans joke about how bad they are at math, and already abysmal scores on standardized math tests are falling even further. The nation needs people who are good at math, employers say, in the same way motion picture mortals need superheroes. They say America's poor math performance isn't funny. It's a threat to the nation's global economic competitiveness and national security. The advances in technology that are going to drive where the world goes in the next 50 years are going to come from other countries, because they

French President Emmanuel Macron opened the door Monday to experimenting in some public schools with uniforms or a dress code amid debate in France over a ban in classrooms on long robes worn mainly by Muslims. The ban on robes known as abayas for girls and women and khamis for boys and men went into effect Monday. Macron said he is in favour of experimenting" with uniforms in order to inform public debate, speaking in a live interview on online media HugoDecrypte, broadcasted on Youtube and TikTok. He said another experimental option could be for children to wear similar outfits, such as a pair of jeans, a T-shirt and a jacket. We certainly can have things that are more acceptable to teenagers (than uniforms), Macron said. It may seem a little less strict from a disciplinary point of view. The centrist president's comments come after some conservative and far-right politicians have voiced support for requiring uniforms in public schools. Macron provided no detail about the start
