Students of CHIREC International School
In the recently announced IGCSE results, two students, Aadi Ramnani and Samarth Lamba, emerged as Global Toppers in Chemistry & Extended Mathematics. These exceptional winners have achieved perfect scores in both subjects. An astounding 60% of students in the cohort scored A* and A, with 63.4% achieving ICE Distinctions.
Says Principal Sanchita Raha, CHIREC International School, Serilingampally 'We are immensely proud of our students for their excellent performance in the IGCSE examinations. These results validate their hard work, the unwavering support of their teachers and parents, the school's commitment to academic excellence, and its goal of being the best at becoming better. Every year, we have world toppers in IGCSE, and this year too, we have two students who have topped in chemistry and extended mathematics. Besides, every student has shown remarkable improvement in this examination.'
The CBSE grade 10 and 12 results were equally impressive. In Grade 10, nearly half of the students (48%) scored above 90%, and an impressive 84.1% secured Distinctions. School toppers Ravya Kanthethi and Ishita Muralikrishnan led with an outstanding aggregate of 99%. 70 students aced individual subjects with a perfect 100! These results are proof of CHIREC's subject mastery and conceptual depth.
In CBSE Grade 12, of the 132 students who appeared, an impressive 91% scored Distinctions, with 38% securing above 90%. The remaining students achieved first class with scores of 60%; Amaira Bharati emerged as a school topper at 98%.

'We guide our students towards academic excellence through our learning approach to understand deeply, think critically, and apply their knowledge meaningfully in real-world contexts.'
Dr. Peter McLaughlin, CEO of CHIREC International School, emphasizes, 'At CHIREC, success begins with well-being. The COVID-19 lockdowns seem like a long time ago, and people easily forget how much of their vital board preparation years were spent locked out of schools and under the shadow of the pandemic. Through Cognita's Global Well-Being Programme and our Social & Emotional Learning Curriculum, we create an environment where children have been able to bounce back from those anxious years of secondary schooling and feel safe, supported, and inspired to thrive academically and personally.'
These outstanding results are a testament to CHIREC's emphasis on holistic education, where academic rigor is matched by a zeal to promote student well-being and personal growth. As part of the global Cognita family, CHIREC continues to empower students with the skills, confidence, and resilience to succeed not just in exams but in life.

A balanced approach to teaching in the mother tongue
Language plays a crucial role in human learning. The most obvious choice is an individual's native language, often referred to in linguistic studies as the first language. This was once central to the Indian tradition where students received their education in gurukuls. In the emerging global landscape, preferences have shifted. English has become the preferred language to secure employment in nearly every field. It serves as the language of science and technology, as well as legal and banking systems, international (and even national) communication, higher education, travel, and media entertainment. It is essential to convey our culture and traditions to others. Thus, it has established itself as the language of individual opportunity. Most parents, given the resources available, prefer to educate their children in English-medium schools. This has led to the emergence of a number of English-medium schools, even in rural areas across the country, although their effectiveness remains questionable. The pressure to provide education in English has compelled most states in India to offer English-medium education in all schools within their jurisdictions. Challenges in implementation However, a new challenge has emerged with the CBSE directive to educate all children at the primary level in their mother tongue. This aligns with the vision of the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 and the National Curriculum Framework 2023, which provide comprehensive guidelines for school education in India. Although the concept is highly appealing, significant challenges remain in implementing the shift from English to the mother tongue or a familiar regional language. Regarding the mother tongue, the 2001 Census of India identified 122 languages spoken by over 10,000 individuals, of which 22 have been granted constitutional status through their inclusion in Schedule VIII of the Constitution. The Constitution recognises Hindi as the official language for communication between the Union and the States, while English is designated as an 'associate' official language in states that have not adopted Hindi as their official language. It mandates that the State provide primary education in the mother tongue, and students are expected to learn three languages in accordance with the graded 'three-language formula' policy, recommended by the National Commission on Education from 1964 to 1966, which was integrated into the National Education Policies of 1968 and 1986. As a language educator and assessor, I have found that most teachers employed to teach English at the primary or even middle-school level are not trained English language teachers. Instead, English is taught by Social Science teachers, many of whom possess questionable English language skills themselves. Consequently, students rarely acquire any communicative English language skills. However, parents often harbour a false sense of security, which stems from sending their children to English-medium schools. Currently, many education departments and the State Council of Educational Research and Training (SCERTs) are preparing to offer elementary education in the mother tongue. Identifying the mother tongue poses a significant challenge, particularly in cities where many residents come from diverse linguistic backgrounds. In such situations, even after conducting a census of the mother tongues that children identify with, will there be sufficient teachers who can teach all subjects in the mother tongue? These issues have contributed to the failure of the three-language formula. Positive feelings cannot become reality without meticulous planning and practical action. Periodically, we implement significant changes to the National Education Policy, disadvantaging numerous students who are at crucial stages of their schooling, only to realise later that the mission has not succeeded. Education must be grounded in reality; it is a nation-building endeavour with the potential to elevate us. But this is achievable only when we distance ourselves from political sloganeering and concentrate on actual needs. The mother tongue is important, as is the English language. No language should be taught at the expense of another. Our mother tongue imparts our cultural values and shapes our worldview. It is easy to grasp the subject matter and concepts, as well as to learn foundational skills in our first language, provided that suitable learning materials are available. A global language like English serves as a window to the world, offering better access to lesson-related resources on the Internet and beyond. A balanced bilingual approach would yield benefits if we recognise the potential of both languages and impart the necessary linguistic skills accordingly, based on circumstances and available resources. The writer is Anil Sarwal, a retired Associate Professor of English.

Scored a Perfect 500/500! CBSE Topper AIR 1 Aarav Malhotra Reveals His Study Hacks and Booklist!
SMPL New Delhi [India], June 13: In a year when lakhs of students appeared for the CBSE Class 10 examinations, Aarav Malhotra has emerged as one of the shining stars, scoring a perfect 500 out of 500. The Noida-based student's incredible feat has made his family and school proud and inspired thousands of aspiring students across the country. In an exclusive conversation, Aarav opened up about his preparation strategy, the challenges he faced, and the role Oswaal Books played in his journey to perfection. 'I believe consistency and smart study matter more than just long hours. I never followed a fixed number of study hours, but I made sure every hour I studied was distraction-free and meaningful,' says Aarav, who aspires to pursue science in his higher secondary education. When asked about how he approached different subjects, Aarav explained, 'Each subject needs a different strategy. For Math and Science, I focused more on concept clarity and practicing as many different types of questions as possible. Social Science and English were more about understanding and expressing well.' Aarav credits a significant part of his success to the right study material. 'I relied heavily on Oswaal Books -- especially their Question Banks and Sample Papers. The way their content is structured makes it easy to revise topics quickly. The mind maps and concept videos in their books were extremely helpful,' he shares. He also pointed out that practicing from Oswaal's sample papers gave him a real exam-like experience. 'Solving those papers helped me manage time better and understand the CBSE paper pattern more clearly. In fact, many similar questions appeared in the actual exam.' Despite the pressure, Aarav remained calm and focused, a quality he attributes to support from his parents and teachers. 'They never pressured me for marks but encouraged me to do my best,' he says with a smile. For future aspirants, Aarav has a simple message: 'Stay consistent, trust the process, and use quality resources like Oswaal Books. They really make a difference.' As Aarav steps into the next chapter of his academic journey, he remains grounded and focused. His story is a powerful reminder that with the right mindset, guidance, and resources, achieving excellence is well within reach.

Minority school locked over unpaid rent in Telangana
HYDERABAD: On the first day of school reopening, teachers and students of the Telangana Minority Residential School, Bagh Lingampally, were seen standing outside the campus gate after the building owner locked it due to 13 months of unpaid rent. The gate was later opened following assurances from Telangana Government Minorities Residential Educational Institutions Society (TGMREIS) officials that the dues would be cleared soon. Sources said that rent for around 40 Telangana Minority Residential Schools in the city is pending. For the Bagh Lingampally school alone, rent arrears amount to around Rs 6 lakh. 'As the rent had not been released for 13 months, the owner locked the school gate. It was just for a few hours. Once officials from the state government spoke to him and assured payment, it was reopened,' said Vanisri, the school principal. 'We locked the building as the rent hasn't been paid for 13 months. Earlier, the state government used to clear rent monthly, but after COVID, payments became irregular. Despite repeated visits to government offices, no concrete solution was given. After officials promised to clear five months' rent immediately, we opened the gate,' the building owner said.
