Lucknow: With the indefinite
postponement of Class 12 board examinations by Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) in several states due to the pandemic conditions, students preparing to go abroad for further studies are in a quandary. Postponing the board examinations further will have a rippling effect on our careers because delayed examination will lead to delayed results. This will adversely affect the students plans to prepare for competitive tests and secure admissions for Undergraduate (UG) degree programs in overseas colleges and universities, where the exams and classes might not get postponed because their classes and exams are being conducted via online platform, said Raj Kishore Dutta, whose son is seeking admission in computer science course in the US.
Delayed Boards may hamper students admission plans abroad

Indian educationist launches literacy program for out-of-school children, adults
By IANSlife
New Delhi– Global Dream Shaala, an initiative for providing free education to out of school children starting with Uttar Pradesh, launched earlier this week on Human Rights Day. The initiative will promote functional literacy and numeracy among masses, and was born out of an observation of underprivileged children aged 6-14 unable to read even a one-paragraph story fluently.
According to educationist Dr. Sunita Gandhi, “Our primary objective with Global Dream Shaala is to provide a zero-cost scale-up model of learning that is both quick and effective, and that makes learning gain real every day. This keeps the motivation of both volunteers and learners high.”
