Dear readers,
I am glad to present before you the November edition of the School Serv newsletter.
This month, CBSE has made some important announcements which include the launch of an aptitude test for the senior school students, integration of Artificial Intelligence in several school subjects and drafting of manuals for the improvement of the affiliated schools’ standards and a coffee- table book on its completion of 90 years. These are encouraging news indeed and deserve inclusion.
There is a news that has caused national alarm. It pertains to the air pollution levels in New Delhi reaching damaging proportions. It has been included as the government has announced measure to minimize exposure among school students by suspending outdoor activities etc.
The NEP is said to be promising by several observers and this time it’s the President of the country himself who has expressed hopes and we have included the story.
I believe that the format and the news- selection will find favor with you all and we remain open to criticism as always. We also thank you for the responses and comments you channeled with respect to our anniversary edition, and hope that the interaction will only grow.
Happy Schooling !
