Scholarship for 31 Indonesian students from Sabah CLCs
Published on: Friday, July 11, 2025 Published on: Fri, Jul 11, 2025 By: Lagatah Toyos Text Size: Aris bidding farewell to the students during their send-off ceremony. TAWAU: The Republic of Indonesia (KRI) Consulate in Tawau has sent 31 graduates from various Community Learning Centres (CLC) in Sabah to further their studies in Indonesia. Indonesian Consul in Tawau, Aris Heru Utomo, said the students are recipients of the 2025 Generasi Maju Cinta Tanah Air (Gema Cita) scholarship and will pursue their education at four senior high schools (Sekolah Lanjutan Tingkat Atas, SLTA) in North Kalimantan Province (Kaltara). He said five students will study at SMA St Gabriel Nunukan, another five at SMK Negeri 1 Nunukan, 10 at SMK Negeri 1 Sebatik Barat and 11 at SMK Mutiara Bangsa in Sebatik. A formal send-off ceremony for the students was held at the KRI Tawau, before their departure from Tawau Port to Tunon Taka Port in Nunukan. Prior to their departure, the students participated in a four-day orientation camp conducted by Sekolah Indonesia Kota Kinabalu (SIKK) to help them prepare and avoid culture shock or homesickness while studying abroad. In his speech, Aris urged the students to make the most of this educational opportunity to realise their ambitions in various fields, as obtaining the Gema Cita scholarship is highly competitive. He said the students had to compete with more than 1,500 graduates from SIKK and CLCs this year, while the scholarship allocation was only for 754 students. 'Make full use of your time throughout your education at SLTA not only by studying but also by participating in extracurricular and leadership activities from an early stage,' he said. Meanwhile, accompanying teacher Syamsul Adil said since the scholarship programme began in 2013, a total of 4,036 CLC students in Sabah have benefitted. He said these students have continued their education across 11 regions in Indonesia – Banten, West Java, Central Java, Yogyakarta, East Java, Lampung, South Kalimantan, North Kalimantan, Bali, South Sulawesi and West Nusa Tenggara. This year, the programme has added another region, East Nusa Tenggara, bringing the total to 12 regions. He added that for the 2024/2025 session, there were over 1,500 junior secondary (SMP) CLC graduates from Sabah. * Follow us on our official WhatsApp channel and Telegram for breaking news alerts and key updates! * Do you have access to the Daily Express e-paper and online exclusive news?

Half of seats in MP colleges vacant after 3rd counselling
Indore: Despite three rounds of counselling, nearly half of the 6.5 lakh seats available across undergraduate (UG), postgraduate (PG), and teacher education courses in Madhya Pradesh remain vacant. So far, over 3.4 lakh students secured admissions for the 2025–26 academic session, prompting the Department of Higher Education (DHE) to consider conducting another CLC round to maximise seat utilisation. Admissions for CLC round closed on Thursday for UG and NCTE courses. Of the total admissions, more than 2.4 lakh students enrolled in UG programmes, around 62,000 through the first College Level Counselling (CLC) round and over 1.8 lakh in the earlier phases of online counselling. Teacher education courses regulated by the National Council for Teacher Education (NCTE) witnessed one of the highest response rates among all programmes, with over 50,000 admissions secured against 58,000 available seats. The high enrolment in NCTE courses highlights a continued demand among students to enter the teaching profession. Postgraduate admissions are also progressing, with more than 48,000 students already admitted. The registration window for the PG CLC round closed on Thursday, with over 25,000 fresh registrations recorded. DHE revised the PG admission schedule following directions from the high court. Applicants for subjects outside the major-minor format will receive interview notifications with details of date, time, and venue by July 14. Interviews will be held between July 16 and 17, with colleges entering the marks on the admission portal soon after. PG seat allotment will be released on July 21, and selected students must complete fee payment between July 21 and 25 to confirm their admission. "The CLC round concluded with encouraging numbers, and a substantial number of students also registered for PG programmes," said Dr Tulsiram Dahayat, officer on special duty, DHE. With nearly half the seats still vacant after three rounds of counselling, another round of admissions is likely to follow to ensure maximum seat utilisation.

North Chicago D187 scholarship program continues to grow; ‘They find careers which are economically sustainable'
As a young girl, Evalyn Alvarez spent a lot of time going places with her grandmother while her mother was at work. One of those places was the doctor's office, as her grandmother sought diabetes treatment. Sitting there with her grandmother, Alvarez saw frustration in the woman's face sensing she did not understand everything that was happening. As Alvarez got older, and her English became fluent — Spanish is her first language — she became her grandmother's interpreter. There was a change. 'As I did that, she understood everything and she felt better,' Alvarez said. 'I saw this with other people, too. I knew if I went into healthcare, I could help people. You can really help people in the medical field.' Now studying for the state exam to earn a certificate as a medical assistant to go to work in that field, Alvarez earned her associate's degree in May from the College of Lake County, studying to go into the healthcare profession. Alvarez was one of 19 members of the North Chicago Community High School Class of 2023's Warhawk Lancer Scholars, providing her with tuition and other resources to complete her studies and reach the cusp of embarking on her career. Starting with six students from the Class of 2020, the program grew to 26 scholars this year. District 187 Superintendent John Price said the scholarship is not need-based. Participants complete an application process and are selected on merit. Along with tuition to CLC, Price said the scholarship includes fees, books, supplies, a new computer, counseling, mentoring and a $3,000 annual stipend to help with expenses they incur during the school year. Some students complete their two-year associate's degree from CLC and matriculate to a four-year college or university, like Jasmine Nieto, who earned a business degree from Northeastern Illinois University in Chicago last spring. She plans a career in business management. Still more of the Warhawk Lancer Scholars — Price said the ratio is approximately 2-to-1 — like Alvarez and Jose Cervantes find good, well-paying careers in healthcare, a skilled trade or dental hygiene while at CLC. 'I love that they find careers which are economically sustainable,' Price said, 'A lot of them come out of high school not knowing what they want to do. We provide counseling (during the program) to help them decide.' Since the Warhawk Lancer program started six years ago, it has grown nearly fourfold. After awarding six in 2020, the cohorts grew to 10 in 2021, 16 in 2022, 19 in 2023, 25 in 2024 and 26 this year. As the program grew, District 187 added another program in 2022 for graduates who want a career in early childhood education. Price said the North Chicago Public Education Foundation was started to raise money for both programs and an emergency fund. It now has an executive director and a counselor. With 26 students heading to CLC as Warhawk Lancer Scholars this year, Price said another 24 2025 graduates are enrolling as well. Price said he wants to raise enough money through the foundation to eventually give a Warhawk Lancer Scholarship to everyone going there. Some of the scholars enter CLC with an idea of what they want to do, while others need to explore possibilities from the array of choices at the college. Mary Kenney, the foundation's director of student success, helps them explore the opportunities. 'Some want a medical career,' Kenney said. 'I help them look at all the possibilities. Some want premed, but eventually find something else in the medical field. If someone wants a career in medicine or engineering, I counsel them to look at courses in math and science.' Alvarez said Kenney was a big help to her. So was the Warhawk Lancer alum who became her mentor. Just as the $3,000 stipend allowed her to go to CLC without working at the same time, Kenney and her mentor helped in their own way. 'Ms. Kenney made me feel good when we talked and I asked questions,' Alvarez said. 'I was able to ask my mentor a lot of questions.' Nieto, who is looking for a career in operations management, said she became a mentor as she transitioned from CLC to Northeastern. She wanted to help guide them as others had done the same for her. 'Some of them were first-gen like myself,' Nieto said, referring to those who are the first member of their family to go to college. 'It makes me feel like I'm helping them like others helped me.' Starting at CLC, Nieto said she took classes required for her associate's degree. Some were business-related because she knew she wanted to be a part of the business world and pursue a four-year degree in business administration. 'I like operations management because you oversee the day-to-day operations of the business,' Nieto said. 'You solve problems and make sure everything runs smoothly.' When Cervantes started at CLC, he knew he wanted to develop a skill that would lead to a good-paying job. He explored the welding, automotive technician and collision repair programs. He talked to teachers in all three, decided on collision repair and now works as an apprentice at a body shop. 'It makes me feel good to see a fixed car,' Cervantes said. 'When you see all that damage, you're not sure what you're going to do. You have to be patient because there are a lot of things you have to do.' With the program seeing students through three years at CLC if needed, Price said three members of the first cohort of six completed the program, with two earning degrees and one a certificate. Of the 10 in the second group, five finished with three degrees and two earned certificates. Of the 16 from the Class of 2022, nine finished the program with five degrees, two certificates, two transfers and two still active. From the 19 students in the Class of 2023, eight finished with four receiving degrees, three certificates, a transfer and six still active in their third year.

Delhi government plans to cover Munak Canal with solar panels
New Delhi: Delhi govt is planning to cover the Munak Canal with solar panels. This initiative, currently at the planning and feasibility assessment stage, aims to curb massive water losses, generate clean electricity, and enhance safety and cleanliness along the canal, said a senior official. Water minister Parvesh Verma inspected the Munak Canal last week and reviewed conditions on-site along with senior officials. Based on the findings, a comprehensive plan is being developed to install solar panels across the Delhi stretch of the Munak Canal by constructing four-foot-high walls on both sides, over which the panels will be mounted, he said. "The Munak Canal is a lifeline for Delhi's water supply. But in its current form, it is also a major source of loss, pollution and risk. Our plan to cover it with solar panels will help us save water, produce clean power, and make the canal safer and more secure for the people of Delhi," Verma said.

It's about protecting lives, generating clean energy, and making Delhi's water infrastructure smarter and safer. We are committed to adopting innovative solutions that serve our people and protect our resources for generations to come," he said. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Is it legal? How to get Internet without paying a subscription? Techno Mag Learn More Undo The planning and feasibility studies are on. A detailed project report (DPR) and technical design are expected to be finalised in the coming months, he said. Officials said that inspections revealed alarming levels of water loss in the canal. Two of its main sections — the Delhi Sub-Branch (DSB) and the Carrier Lined Channel (CLC) — have significant leakage and inefficiency. He said that DSB reported nearly 30% water loss from seepage and evaporation, and CLC has seen 5% water loss, still substantial in absolute terms. Beyond water loss, the Munak Canal also faces persistent issues of garbage dumping and accidental drownings. Open and unguarded stretches of the canal pose a danger to both residents and passersby, he said. The proposed plan includes building four-foot walls on both sides of the canal within Delhi territory and mounting solar panels over the top to completely cover it. This will serve multiple purposes like reducing evaporation and water loss by cutting direct sun exposure. It will also generate renewable energy to power canal-related infrastructure and feed into the grid. This will improve safety by preventing accidental falls and deterring unauthorised access and enhance cleanliness, minimising garbage dumping and contamination. The Munak Canal system is 102-km-long, out of which about 85km is in Haryana, and about 17km is in Delhi. Delhi govt is currently engaging with Haryana govt to strengthen coordination regarding the maintenance and management of the canal system, particularly for the Delhi segment, another official said. The concept is inspired by a similar successful project in Gujarat, where solar panels have been installed over canal systems to efficiently utilise space, prevent evaporation, and generate clean power, he said. Delhi aims to replicate and adapt this model to suit local conditions and contribute meaningfully to both water security and the capital's clean energy goals, he said.
