Now, a common exam for Goa board's Class III-VIII students
Panaji: Starting Oct, a common exam will be conducted for students from Class III to VIII across all schools affiliated with Goa board. The exam will be held simultaneously through a common timetable and through question papers framed by the Goa state council of educational research and training (SCERT). The SCERT has said that the common summative exams are being held to 'bring uniformity and standardisation' in the way schools carry out the assessment of students. The move is part of the implementation of the National Education Policy (NEP), 2020. 'This common examination is compulsory for all schools across the state and any lapses in this regard will be viewed seriously,' said SCERT director Meghana Shetgaonkar. SCERT has said that flying squads will conduct surprise visits to monitor the exams. The evaluation of the answer sheets will be done by the schools themselves. However, the SCERT has said that 'schools should refrain from discussing students' performance with parents solely in terms of marks, as all marks of the external components will be converted into descriptive indicators and combined with the internal components to get the overall performance of the child'.

The exam for Classes III and IV will begin on Oct 9 and for Classes V to VIII on Oct 7. 'The detailed exam schedule must be strictly followed by all schools for the respective grades. All examinations must commence on time as per the prescribed date sheet. Ensure that seating arrangements are made a day prior to the examination to allow students a calm and organised environment,' the SCERT circular states. The council has said that the school head will be informed by the last week of Sep about how the question papers will be delivered to them. 'Only authorised personnel will handle and open the question paper packets. Only the question papers will be provided by the SCERT. Schools are responsible for providing the necessary answer papers to the students. Schools must make adequate arrangements for storing the question paper packets. Strict confidentiality must be maintained at all stages. The heads of the institution will be responsible for the security and confidentiality of the question papers,' the SCERT states. The council has also issued a list of concessions to be offered to children with special needs, such as 10 minutes extra time for every one hour of the exam to facilitate memory retrieval, restricting long descriptive answers, allowing the use of word processing software on a computer, and allowing point-form writing.

(Unsplash/Representative Image) The cargo plane, which was coming from Malaysia's Kuala Lumpur, landed safely at Chennai. The fire erupted in the fourth engine of the cargo plane during landing, prompting the pilots to alert the officials, news agency PTI reported, citing official sources. The Chennai International Airport issued a clarification over the reports, saying, "It is hereby stated that there was no major fire in the engine while landing. There was a minor spark and smoke in the engine, which may be due to oil dirt, residues, etc." It added that the aircraft did not suffer any damage in the incident. The airport authority emphasised that the matter had been "blown out of proportion". "We request the media and press who are business partners of Chennai International Airport to refrain from publishing such reports without confirming from the O/o Airport Director, Chennai Airport so as to not create panic among the travelling public," the Chennai Airport authority said in the statement. Earlier, officials said that reportedly no emergency landing made, and the pilots landed the aircraft safely.
