Career Guidance To Classes 11, 12 Students Crucial, Counselling Essential: Delhi High Court
Stressing upon the importance of career guidance to students of classes 11 and 12, the Delhi High Court has said the authorities must ensure there is an appropriate system of counselling in place in schools. Justice Sanjeev Narula said it is essential that students are counselled about decision making processes and directed the Delhi government to examine the issue of providing career guidance to school students in consultation with experts. The court passed the order on a petition by an “exemplary student” who failed to secure admission in Delhi University, allegedly on account of his school not cautioning him that two of the subjects opted by him in class 12 were not considered as “main” subjects by the varsity, which attracted a penalty of 2.5% deduction of marks at the time of admission.

Himachal Pradesh: Government teachers giving private tuitions to face action
To earn extra bucks, many government teachers in Himachal Pradesh provide private tuitions to students at their homes and after coming to know about this finally the education department has decided to act tough against such teachers. In a circular issued the Director High Education said that taking private tuitions is violation of rule 2.7 of the HP Education Code, 2012.
But even after a decade of framing the HP Education Code, 2012, many teachers are continuing with the practice of providing private tuitions and this becomes evident from the letter of Director (Higher Education) Amarjeet Sharma sent to all the deputy directors on the issue of involvement of teachers in private tuitions. It will not be easy for the teachers posted in government schools and are providing private tuitions to throw dust in the eyes of the government as the Directorate of Higher Education has entrusted the responsibility of monitoring the teachers providing tuition to the heads of their institutions.
