NEET 2020: NMC Push For Common Entrance Test In Medical Colleges

 

NEET: The government is making concerted efforts to constitute the National Medical Commission (NMC) at the earliest.

Education | Indo-Asian News Service | Updated: October 05, 2019 10:26 IST

NEW DELHI: 

The government is making concerted efforts to constitute the National Medical Commission (NMC) at the earliest so that some of the major reforms like a common entrance test and regulation of fees can be implemented from the coming academic year 2020-21.

According to Health Ministry officials, a common NEET (under graduate) examination for entry into all medical colleges and also AIIMS, JIPMER, PGI etc. will be implemented from 2020.

Efforts are being made to notify fee regulations with effect from the year 2020-21 and advance action on this has already been initiated by the Board of Governors of the Medical Council of India.

Health Minister Harsh Vardhan on Friday assured that the process of implementing the NMC will be done in the most transparent manner and this historic reform of the Modi government will usher in quality and efficient medical education in the country. The Health Ministry has already framed the rules for the constitution of the NMC.

The National Medical Commission Act, 2019 was notified in August, 2019 to constitute a National Medical Commission for development and regulation of all aspects relating to medical education, medical profession & medical institutions. It also provides for the constitution of a Medical Advisory Council to advise and make recommendations to the Commission.

The Commission will have four autonomous boards, namely Under-Graduate Medical Education Board, Post-Graduate Medical Education Board, Medical Assessment and Rating Board (MARB) and Ethics and Medical Registration Board.

Presently, 23 nominations of Vice Chancellor and 22 nominations from State Medical Council have been received. Once the MAC is notified, 9 members from State Medical Councils and 10 members from State/UT representatives will be selected as members of the National Medical Commission. The draw of lots is scheduled to be held on October 14.

The Advisory Council will be partially notified before the draw of lots.

The Ministry has already invited applications for the posts of Chairperson of the Commission, Presidents and members of four Autonomous Boards, Members and Secretary of the Commission. The selection to the said posts is to be made on the recommendations of a Search Committee headed by the Cabinet Secretary.

Health Ministry officials said the formation of the NMC and simplification of procedures is expected to spur growth in the number of UG and PG seats in the country which will ensure availability of adequate and qualified medical professionals to cater to the healthcare needs of the country.

It will lead to a single entrance examination and common counselling for admission to medical institutions at the UG level including AIIMS.

A common final year exam, National Exit Test (NEXT) will assess the quality of medical education which would also be the basis for PG entrance and a screening test. The students will not have to appear in a separate exam for PG entrance and may focus on the UG subjects and internship.

Indian students getting foreign degrees will have to pass through the same final year exam to get a license. There will be a separate board to focus on every aspect of the medical education like development of curriculum, standards of medical education, training of faculty, and facilitation of research.

The rating of the medical colleges will be done by the Medical Assessment and Rating Board which will encourage colleges to improve the quality of education.

In addition, there will be maintenance of a live register for all registered medical practitioners and a separate register for Community Health Providers. There will be no requirement of annual renewal of the medical colleges.

The NMC will frame guidelines for determination of the fees and all other charges for 50% seats in private medical colleges and deemed universities. As a result, such proportion of seats in such colleges would be available at a reasonable price.

The penal provision for non-compliant colleges would range from warning, monetary penalty, reducing intake, stoppage of admission leading up to withdrawal of recognition.

A cadre of Community Health Providers will be created especially for primary and preventive healthcare.

World Celebrates Teachers' Day Today

World Celebrates Teachers' Day Today

This year the theme for the World Teachers' Day is "Young Teachers: The Future of the Profession".

Education | Edited by Maitree Baral | Updated: October 05, 2019 16:01 IST

NEW DELHI: 

The World is revering teachers today. Held annually on October 5 since 1994, the World Teachers' Day is observed to commemorate the adoption of 1996 ILO/ UNESCO recommendation concerning the status of teachers, their rights and responsibilities and standards for their initial preparation and further education, recruitment, employment, and teaching and learning conditions.

UNESCO co-convenes the World Teachers' Day with UNICEF, UNDP, the International Labour Organization, and Education International.

This year's theme for the teachers' day is "Young Teachers: The Future of the Profession".

"With the theme, Young Teachers: The Future of the Profession, we recognize the critical importance of reaffirming the value of the teaching mission. We call upon governments to make teaching a profession of first choice for young people. We also invite teacher unions, private sector employers, school principals, parent-teacher associations, school management committees, education officials and teacher trainers to share their wisdom and experiences in promoting the emergence of a vibrant teaching force," said the conveners in a joint message.

"The media and new technologies must be instrumentalized to elevate the teaching profession, and to demonstrate its importance for human rights, social justice and climate change. Governments must also improve employment and working conditions," the message adds.

On the theme for the teachers' day the message reads, "Without a new generation of motivated teachers, millions of learners will miss out, or continue to miss out, on their right to a quality education."

In their message the conveners have also highlighted the reason that dissuades youngsters from teaching profession. "With teachers being underpaid and undervalued, attracting and retaining talent is a challenge," they said.

As per the data given by the UNESCO Institute for Statistics the world needs almost 69 million new teachers to meet the Education 2030 Agenda.

"To succeed in this, education systems need an injection of fresh thinking on how to recruit, train, incentivize and retain the brightest minds for 21st century classrooms," the conveners have said in the joint message.

The joint message has been given by Audrey Azoulay, Director-General of UNESCO; Guy Ryder, Director-General, International Labour Organization; Henrietta H. Fore, Executive Director; UNICEF Achim Steiner, Administrator, UNDP and David Edwards, General Secretary, Education International.

India celebrates Teachers' Day on September 5.

Govt firm on compulsory Marathi in state schools

Govt firm on compulsory Marathi in state schools

— Vinamrata Borwankar | Sat Oct 05 2019 | Mumbai:

To ensure Marathi is compulsory in state schools, education department on Thursday said secondary and higher secondary students in state board schools cannot opt for vocational subjects in lieu of the language.

From 2015, the department began offering vocational subjects for classes IX-XII. Students from English medium schools could drop the second language, while those from other mediums could opt for vocational subjects instead of second and third languages. Nearly 500 schools in the state offer the subjects. An education department official said the subjects have few takers.

A year later, the department allowed students to drop social sciences, apart from languages, for the vocational subject. “In SSC 2019 exams, several Hindi, Urdu, Gujarati medium schools allowed students to drop Marathi and take vocational subjects. This is a setback to making Marathi compulsory in schools programme. To ensure it is not repeated, the government decided to clarify rules,” said a GR on Thursday.

Students from Marathi medium schools can opt for vocational subjects by dropping their second language or social sciences. But students from other mediums cannot drop Marathi (second language). They can drop the third language or social sciences.

A few months back, the state formed a committee of Marathi literary and education experts to draft a law to make Marathi mandatory in all boards.

Schools Should Make Poetry Reading Compulsory: Vice President

 

"I urge schools to make poetry reading and appreciation a compulsory part of the curriculum. I also ask the universities to encourage literature, arts and humanities education," he said.

Education | Indo-Asian News Service | Updated: October 06, 2019 14:08 IST

NEW DELHI: 

Vice President M. Venkaiah Naidu on Sunday urged schools to make poetry reading and appreciation a compulsory part of their curriculum.

"I urge schools to make poetry reading and appreciation a compulsory part of the curriculum. I also ask the universities to encourage literature, arts and humanities education," he said.

"I believe that it is crucial to promote arts and culture to build an enlightened and healthy society. Arts nurture creativity in the society. Without a creative voice, the society will become stagnant," said the Vice President while addressing the valedictory ceremony of the 39th World Congress of Poets at the Kalinga Institute of Industrial Technology University here.

"Poets can be influencers and opinion-makers. They have the unique potential to shape thoughts, feelings and attitudes. I am confident that they will use this tremendous power at their disposal, to build a better world," Mr Naidu said.

"Artists enliven lives. Some artists transform our lives. They change our perception, our world view. Artists are the conscience keepers of the society. They constantly question the absurd and the illogical and help instil positive values in the society," he added.

He said that poetry helps to promote peace and harmony in the society and foster universal brotherhood.

"Poetry is one of the finest expressions of human emotion. It conveys deep insights, a wide range of emotions and elevates the human experience to the highest levels of consciousness. It has a great impact on the inner chemistry of human emotions, on how we perceive, how we respond and how we behave," the Vice President said.

Informing that India's tryst with poetry was as old as its civilization, he said that great Indian epics the Ramayana and the Mahabharata were among the finest specimens of poetry ever written.

The epics are celebrated world over for grandeur of their themes, extraordinary literary heights and depth of messages they convey, he added.
