The tweaks in teaching styles in the 2025-26 academic calendar include allocation of subjects in the timetable based on the difficulty levels. After a relatively difficult subject, an easier subject is recommended for students to understand concepts easily. "As far as possible, main subjects should be taught in the first six periods," the academic calendar says.
To encourage reading, library sessions have been made compulsory for every student every week.
In govt senior secondary schools, clubs such as Child Rights Club, Forest and Environment Club, Science Club, Road Safety Club, and Tourism Club, and similar activities have been made compulsorily. For tobacco control, a tobacco monitor will also be appointed in every class.
Under the school-based assessment scheme of RBSE, "it will be compulsory for every student to participate in one of the literary and cultural activities run in the school for class 9 and 10."
To spread awareness about child rights and protection, Bal Sabhas will be conducted to inform children of the ill effects of child marriage, and information related to road safety, among other things. A cleanliness fortnight will also be observed from Sept 1-15 for all classes.
Under the state's Anaemia Free Rajasthan programme, all Tuesdays will be celebrated as Shakti Diwas, an initiative to distribute iron and folic acid pills to students.

Karimnagar govt officials learn sign language to bridge communication gap
Hyderabad: In a move towards inclusive governance, govt officials in Karimnagar district are now learning Indian Sign Language (ISL) to better interact with citizens who are speech and hearing impaired. The initiative, which covers staff across various departments, aims to equip them with basic sign language skills to make public services more accessible. From common greetings and numbers to understanding days, months, and familial terms, the officials are being trained to hold simple conversations and ensure effective communication. "I've learnt the basics, but there's a long way to go. When speech- and hearing-impaired citizens approach us, they often come with someone to interpret. But when we understand them directly, it builds trust and ensures clarity," Karimnagar municipal commissioner and IAS officer, Praful Desai told TOI.

"It's about meeting them on their terms, not the other way around," he added. District collector Pamela Satpathy, who is also part of the training, said, "As public servants, it's our responsibility to understand the needs of every section of society. Learning sign language is one way to ensure that no one is left behind when it comes to accessing govt schemes and benefits." The sessions, conducted by two trainers from an NGO, are being organised by Dr Marri Chenna Reddy Human Resource Development (MCRHRD) Institute. According to regional training manager and district youth officer M Venkata Rambabu, around 100 officials are attending the sessions daily, split into two batches. Apart from conversational basics, the participants have also learnt to sign the national anthem.
