Allow compassionate appointments in private PU colleges: Karnataka HC to State
BENGALURU: The Karnataka High Court said the deputy director has to identify vacant posts in private aided pre-university colleges if there are no vacancies in the institution where the deceased employee was working to grant a compassionate appointment to legal heirs. If vacancies are not available within the district, the issue has to be escalated to the director, who is duty-bound to identify and fill vacancies in institutions anywhere in the state, the court added. Justice Suraj Govindaraj passed the order, quashing the endorsement dated September 20, 2024, issued by the School Education Department, rejecting the application filed by the petitioner, Santhosh Yamanappa Wadakar, from Bagalkot district. The rejection was solely on the ground that there was no vacancy at the private aided institution where his father was working. The court has now referred the matter to the Deputy Director of Pre-University Education. The petitioner's father, working as a first-grade assistant in Adarsh Composite PU College in Bevoor of Bagalkot district, passed away in 2009 while in service. The petitioner applied for a compassionate appointment to the chairman of Adarsh Vidya Vardhaka Sangha, which was forwarded to the Deputy Director, who rejected it. It was also endorsed by the joint director of Pre-University Education. The petitioner's counsel argued that the deputy director was required to not only consider vacancies in the institution of the deceased, but also in any institution within the district, as per the Karnataka Pre-University Education (Appointment on Compassionate Grounds) (Amendment) Rules, 2010. If no vacancy exists, the deputy director is required to identify a vacancy anywhere in the state.

Existing exam pattern to continue for Class X
Hyderabad: After much debate, the State government on Monday has directed that the existing pattern of examination for Class X would continue for the current academic year. Earlier, there was uncertainty and debate concerning the evaluation pattern for Class X students, with about 5 lakh students eagerly awaiting clarity. The issue stems from a government order (GO) issued in November last year, which eliminated internal marks for Class X exams from the 2025-26 academic years onward. This decision has since come under scrutiny, prompting a rethinking by the School Education Department after questions were raised at a recent National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) workshop in Delhi. The core of the problem lies in the current continuous evaluation system instituted under the Right to Education Act since 2011. Under this system, 20 marks out of 100 are allocated for internal assessments in six subjects, which include projects, unit tests, and written work, while the remaining 80 marks are for written examinations. Critics have pointed out disparities in how internal marks are awarded—private schools reportedly give full marks liberally, while government school students often receive lower marks, leading to concerns about fairness. In response to these concerns, the Education Department earlier issued a GO mandating the elimination of internal marks. However, this move triggered questions during a recent meeting in Delhi, where education officials were asked why internal marks are not used globally, including by other Indian boards such as CBSE and ICSE, and why the department chose to remove them. The dilemma deepened as the National New Education Policy advocates for student evaluation that considers more than just exam scores, promoting a 360-degree assessment approach. Adding to the internal discourse, a workshop organized at the Directorate of School Education brought together regional education officers, headmasters, subject experts, and other officials to discuss internal marks and question paper patterns. Participants expressed diverse opinions, reflecting the complexity of the issue. Consequently, proposals on these matters have been forwarded. Against this backdrop, the State government has issued an order to continue to the existing pattern of examination for Class X.
