Time for art & sports cut as teaching hrs revised to bring in third language

Mumbai: To accommodate the inclusion of a third language in the Class I timetable from this academic year, the State Council of Educational Research and Training (SCERT) has revised and reallocated instructional hours across subjects. This is the first such exercise undertaken in the state since 2017. While the number of hours allotted to the first and second languages as well as mathematics are almost similar to the recommendations of the National Curriculum Framework (NCF), the state has reduced the time allocated for art and physical education and work experience to make room for the third language. The weekly and annual subject-wise instructional hours will now be binding on all schools. The reallocation of instructional hours comes two days after Maharashtra issued a govt resolution (GR) making a three-language policy mandatory for the state board's Marathi and English medium schools from Class I to V. The GR said Hindi will not be a mandatory third language; students can choose any other Indian language, but a teacher will be available only if there are at least 20 students in class, else the language has to be taught online. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like O aparelho que os idosos descobriram para aliviar dores nos nervos e formigamento.

But two sessions can be clubbed together to give more time to students for the respective subjects, mentioned the circular issued by SCERT on Thursday. The NCF, on the other hand, recommends 45-60 minutes per session. The council, for the first time, has also recommended a sample timetable that can be followed by primary schools. While the timetable can be modified at school level as per their requirement, the weekly and annual instructional hours cannot be reduced by them, mentioned the circular. According to the guidelines, the first and second language have been allocated 306 and 180 hours annually and the third language will be given a little over 100 hours. The national framework does not recommend a third language at Class I level, and therefore, has no provision. Mahendra Ganpule, former head, Maharashtra School Principals' Association, said they are reducing time given to overall development of students in arts, physical education and work experience to accommodate a third language, which is not even recommended in the NCF. In the time in which two languages are to be taught, they will now be teaching three, he added. SCERT will also soon come out with an academic calendar for Class I, for which a new syllabus has been introduced. "The calendar will provide a chapter-wise teaching schedule for the class to help teachers distribute syllabus evenly across the year and avoid last-minute rushes," said director, SCERT, Rahul Rekhawar. He added the timetable has made provision for additional enrichment periods (AEP), a new initiative, to allow teachers to provide extra guidance to students.

Schools to reopen today; pre-primary to be introduced in 210 schools in State

Ending a 49-day vacation, schools in Telangana are all set to reopen for Classes 1 to 10 for the academic year 2025-26 on Thursday. For the first time, the State government has also decided to deliver 'early childhood care and education' and run pre-primary sections. The initiative is under Samagra Shiksha, the integrated scheme for school education, and the aim is to ensure the preschoolers are ready for Class 1 in the next academic year. Pre-primary will be launched in the districts of Hanumakonda, Jagtial, Jayashankar Bhupalapally, Kamareddy, Karimnagar, Kumuram Bheem Asifabad, Mancherial, Mulugu, Nirmal, Nizamabad, Peddapalli, Siddipet and Warangal. The first day at school, officials in the Education department and District Collectors across the State said, will be a celebratory one focused on welcoming the students back. Principals and teachers have already been instructed to decorate the schools, and install entrance arches with flowers and banners. The major task on the first day, however, is the distribution of school uniforms and textbooks and notebooks. School heads are also to monitor enrollment of students, which was keenly campaigned for during the week. The new academic year is also a fresh start for 1.12 lakh teachers across the State who have undergone five-day capacity building workshops, and senior school officials who have attended residential programmes. The focus has been on student learning assessment: Foundational Literacy and Numeracy (FLN) modules for Classes 1-5 and Learning Improvement Programme (LIP) – for Classes 6 to 9. The Education department will also partner with AXL EkStep Foundation for 5,651 schools to improve FLN. In a first, the School Education Department, learning from past year's experiences, has also taken up training sessions for cooks and sanitation workers to ensure food safety and overall school hygiene. As per the 2025-26 school academic calendar, schools for Classes 1 to 10 will have 230 working days. The first summative assessment will be conducted from October 24 to 31, the second summative assessment for Classes till 9th is scheduled April 10 to 18.
