CBSE Defers Orientation Programme In UP's Shahjahanpur Amid 'Rising Water Levels'
The Central Board of Secondary Education or CBSE has postponed the orientation programme and career pathways event in Shahjahanpur, UP due to rising water levels in the area. The event, initially scheduled for August 19, 2025, at Seth M. R. Jaipuria School, Shahjahanpur (U.P.), has been delayed. As per the official notice, the new date for the orientation programme and career pathways will be announced soon.
The board initiated this orientation programme for entrance exams and career pathways to provide school Principals and Counselors with updated career guidance strategies in line with the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020. This policy emphasizes the importance of strong counseling systems to support students' aspirations and informed decision-making.
The programme aims to equip Principals and Counselors with effective student guidance tools, share information on internships, scholarships, and higher education, align career counseling practices with NEP 2020, and raise awareness of diverse and emerging career paths. For more details, candidates can visit the official CBSE website.
'This is with reference to the circular dated 05.08.2025 regarding the Orientation Program on Entrance Exams and Career Pathways scheduled for 19 August 2025 at Seth M.R. Jaipuria School, Shahjahanpur (U.P.). In view of the Advisory dated 11.08.2025 issued by the Officer-in-Charge (Floods), Sharda Canal Division, Shahjahanpur, regarding rising river water levels in the region, the Board has decided to postpone the above program. We regret any inconvenience caused and appreciate your understanding. The revised date will be notified in due course," reads the official notice.
Meanwhile, CBSE has announced significant changes to the Legal Studies subject for classes 11 and 12 to make it more relevant. Students will now learn about key legal reforms such as the Triple Talaq law, Indian Judicial Code (BNS), Indian Civil Protection Code (BNSS), Indian Evidence Act (BSA), the abolition of sedition law, and the removal of Section 377. CBSE will collaborate with an expert committee and a content development agency to implement the new syllabus starting from the 2026-27 session.

Capital's education code overhaul
The scale of the challenge When asked the difference between the AAP's and the BJPs's education model, Ashish Sood said, 'We will never be able to counter them. When I say, we'll never be able to counter them, because we'll not be able to match their tokenism. We will not be able to match the hollow marketing ecosystem they have created. We will never be able to counter them or match them because they have a very big hollow marketing system supported by NGOs.' He further added, 'When I say this, we have visited many schools in these four months. Few days ago, I went to Najafgarh in a school that was my second visit. I was told that in the last 10 years, I am the first person as Education Minister who has visited there twice or thrice. In 10 years, in that remote corner of Delhi, the Education Minister, as they claim, I don't give a claim. They said that the Education Minister never came here. He came to lay the foundation stone of the school building named Bhagat Singh Sainik School and the building is still incomplete.' Beyond tokenism: 'Holistic education' When asked how the BJP government planned to counter AAP's political branding of education, Sood replied: 'We cannot counter them in tokenism. They had photo ops and slogans. We have a firm resolve backed by budgetary allocations.' He spoke about 'holistic education' that includes both regulation of private schools and upgradation of government schools. 'So when we talk about holistic education, we mean equipping government schools with modern technology and exposure, so that children from disadvantaged backgrounds don't feel left behind. When they step out of these schools, they should not feel like outsiders. They should be fully aware of the opportunities around them,' the minister said. For years, parents have protested fee hikes, with cases dragging on for years. 'In DPS Dwarka, the case has been in court for seven years. Children were made to sit in libraries as punishment when parents resisted fee hikes. That ends now,' Sood said. Sharing the plan for the city schools, Ashish Sood said that 21,000 smart classrooms are to be built in the next five years, 5,000 smart boards in a single year, 175 AI driven Abdul Kalam language labs and 160 new digital libraries. Sood said: 'AAP never thought of. Their obsession was with PR, not pedagogy.' Official documents show the government has sanctioned new computer labs in 200 schools this year, with plans to expand. There is also another proposal to integrate National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 recommendations, such as coding and financial literacy, into the curriculum.

'He Can End The War': Trump Pushes Zelenskyy To Accept Peace Deal, Rules Out NATO Entry
Trump pressed Zelenskyy to end the war in Ukraine, citing the example of the Russian annexation of Crimea in 2014 under the Obama administration, after his talks with Putin. US President Donald Trump on Sunday (local time) pushed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to accept a peace deal in the ongoing war against Russia, saying he has the power to end the war almost immediately, or he can continue to fight on. Taking to Truth Social, Trump also cited the Russian annexation of Crimea in 2014 under the Obama administration, while ruling out Ukraine's inclusion in the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO), something that Russia has opposed for long. 'President Zelenskyy of Ukraine can end the war with Russia almost immediately, if he wants to, or he can continue to fight. Remember how it started. No getting back Obama given Crimea (12 years ago, without a shot being fired!), and NO GOING INTO NATO BY UKRAINE. Some things never change!!!" he said. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's. Please keep discussions respectful and constructive.
