Music school students to get Class X and XII-equivalent pass certificates

The Hindu2 days ago

The School Education Department has issued orders to give Class X and XII-equivalent pass certificates to music school students.
'Students studying in district government music schools will be issued pass certificates equivalent to Classes X and XII if they pass the language courses conducted by the Directorate of Government Examinations,' the Government Order (G.O.) said.
School Education Minister Anbil Mahesh Poyyamozhi had announced this provision in the Legislative Assembly earlier this year.
The order stated that the move aimed to ensure that students of music schools can access higher education and employment opportunities without any hindrance, and to discourage them from dropping out. It added that if they pass the Class XII Tamil (Part-I) and English language (Part-II) papers, they could continue their musical education or pursue higher education and employment with a Class XII-equivalent pass certificate.

CBFC agrees to review Vetrimaran film

Chennai: Central Board for Film Certification (CBFC) has informed Madras high court that it will review Tamil movie 'Manushi', produced by director Vetrimaran, and specify the objectionable portions to the producer for edits. Appropriate certification will be provided once the process is completed, the board told the court. The submissions were made on a plea moved by Vetrimaran, alleging that the CBFC denied certification to the movie without a review. On June 4, Justice N Anand Venkatesh questioned how CBFC could deny a censor certificate without specifying the objectionable scenes. The court then directed the CBFC to specify objectionable scenes by June 16 or to watch the movie with the producer and point out the objectionable portions to him. The film, starring Andrea, is directed by Gopi Nainar. Vetrimaran moved the court, alleging that the censor board was refusing to certify his film and that he was not allowed to voice his opinion before CBFC made its decision. The CBFC denied certification to the movie on the grounds that it went against the integrity of the state, contained scenes that were contemptuous, defamed govt policies and portrayed stereotypes leading to a north/south divide
