CBSE Receives Nearly 44,000 Rechecking Requests Amid Ongoing Portal Issues

/ Education Community

The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has recorded 43,980 applications for verification and re-evaluation of Class 12 answer sheets as of 12 noon on June 3, reflecting a surge in demand for post-result services. The total includes 4,924 requests for verification and 39,056 applications for re-evaluation. Despite the high number of successful submissions, students and parents continue to raise concerns over technical difficulties on the portal. Several complaints shared on social media platform X alleged delays in receiving scanned copies of evaluated answer books, a prerequisite for applying for verification and re-evaluation. Others reported missing options for certain subjects and questions, along with confusion surrounding compartment examination-related applications. In response, CBSE stated that its technical teams are actively monitoring the portal to ensure a secure, reliable, and student-friendly experience. The board also announced the integration of multiple payment gateways, including those of SBI, Canara Bank, Bank of Baroda, and Indian Bank. Students can make payments through UPI, net banking, debit cards, or credit cards without requiring accounts in these banks. According to CBSE, nearly 40,000 students had successfully completed their applications by 9:30 am on June 3. The latest figures mark a substantial increase from the previous evening, when the board reported over 28,000 successful submissions and nearly 14,000 concurrent users on the platform. To address user feedback, CBSE has introduced several enhancements, including extending session time limits to reduce automatic logouts during the application process.

Economic Survey 2025–26 flags learning gaps, higher education quality as key education challenges

/ Education Community

The Economic Survey 2025–26, presented in Parliament by Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Thursday, has underlined learning outcomes and the quality of higher education as the next major hurdles for India’s education system. While India has largely achieved universal enrolment at the school level, the Survey cautions that enrolment gains have not translated evenly into learning outcomes. The challenge becomes sharper beyond the elementary stage, with the net enrolment ratio (NER) at the secondary level standing at just 52.2%. This, the Survey notes, underscores the urgent need to retain students beyond Class 8. A major concern highlighted is the uneven distribution of schools across regions. Around 54% of schools in the country offer only foundational and preparatory education, whereas just 17.1% provide secondary education in rural areas. In contrast, urban regions have a significantly higher share of secondary schools at 38.1%. This imbalance restricts rural students’ access to higher classes, leading to longer travel times, higher dropout rates and significant transition losses. The data shows a steady decline in enrolment as students move from foundational and preparatory stages to middle and secondary levels in rural India. Urban areas, however, witness an increase in enrolment from middle to secondary stages, pointing to persistent rural–urban disparities. Grade-wise trends further confirm a sharp drop in participation at the secondary level. The Survey acknowledges progress made through investments in infrastructure and teacher capacity, supported by schemes such as Samagra Shiksha Abhiyan and Poshan Shakti Nirman, which have improved access and equity. However, it stresses that the policy focus must now shift decisively from enrolment to learning outcomes. To improve retention and optimise resources, the Survey recommends expanding composite and integrated schools, upgrading schools up to Class 7, and strengthening open schooling systems. It also calls for better infrastructure, enhanced teacher training through District Institutes of Education and Training (DIETs) and State Councils of Educational Research and Training (SCERTs), and greater involvement of parents and communities in school governance. Aligning curriculum and assessment reforms with the National Education Policy (NEP), along with the effective use of digital platforms such as PM e-Vidya, could help deliver equitable and high-quality education, even in remote areas, the Survey suggests. On higher education, the Survey notes the rapid growth in institutions and student enrolment over the past decade but raises concerns about quality, faculty shortages and uneven research capabilities. It advocates greater institutional autonomy, stronger academic leadership, and deeper integration of research and innovation to enhance global competitiveness. The Survey also emphasises the need for experience-based and skill-oriented learning, observing that conventional classroom models often fail to bridge the gap between theory and practice. Expanding vocational education, internships and industry partnerships is seen as critical to improving employability and aligning education with labour market needs. While digital education initiatives are recognised as powerful tools for expanding reach, especially in underserved regions, the Survey cautions that technology cannot replace strong pedagogy and well-trained teachers, and must be supported by sustained investments in human capacity.

Republic Day Parade 2026: School Education Ministry highlights NEP 2020 and India’s knowledge heritage

/ Education Community

At the Republic Day Parade 2026, the Department of School Education and Literacy presented a visually rich tableau that traced India’s civilisational wisdom and its transformation through the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020. The display positioned school education as a cornerstone in the journey towards Viksit Bharat 2047, seamlessly connecting the past, present, and future of learning. Anchored by the gateway of a PM SHRI School, the tableau narrated a story that moved from ancient intellectual traditions to future-ready education. At the forefront stood Aryabhata, overlooking cheerful children holding Shunya (zero) and a globe — a powerful symbol of India’s historic contributions to global knowledge and the responsibility of passing this legacy to the next generation. Flowing behind them, expansive wings represented NEP 2020, signifying confidence, opportunity, and global preparedness, all firmly rooted in the spirit of Aatmanirbharta. The theme of “ancient roots, digital wings” came alive through children wearing VR headsets, while the Jaadui Pitara showcased joyful, play-based foundational learning using indigenous toys and multilingual, mother-tongue materials. The PM SHRI School entrance depicted students planting saplings, reinforcing values of inclusion, sustainability, and environmental stewardship aligned with Mission LiFE. Another student working with tools highlighted the early integration of skill-based education. At the heart of the tableau, the holistic vision of education was portrayed through martial arts, performing arts, and sports, underscoring balanced development. A robotic hand symbolised the harmony between tradition and technology — the journey from takhti to tablet — guided by strong cultural values. The narrative culminated at the Viksit Bharat 2047 tower, showcasing smart classrooms, tinkering labs, and innovation hubs. Visual elements such as books, gears, and electronic circuits reflected PM SHRI Schools as living embodiments of NEP 2020, committed to nurturing skilled, ethical, and empowered citizens across regions, genders, and abilities. The tableau ultimately presented NEP 2020 as a powerful catalyst — a rocket driving transformative reforms in school education — propelling India steadily towards the goal of becoming a developed nation.

This connected network encourages collaboration, peer learning, and the development of emotionally resilient school environments. “The hub and spoke model is not just about guidance — it’s about creating a culture of care and shared learning among schools,” CBSE stated in its official communication. The launch event drew participation from over 500 school leaders, wellness coordinators, and counselors from across the country. During the event, CBSE Chairperson Rahul Singh, IAS underscored how these initiatives reflect the vision of the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, especially in making education more inclusive, student-centric, and technology-enabled. CBSE Secretary Himanshu Gupta, IAS also highlighted the urgent need for a more structured approach to mental health in schools and commended institutions that actively help students navigate academic and emotional challenges. A detailed session on the Counseling Hub and Spoke Model outlined its implementation roadmap, including roles, responsibilities, training protocols, and evaluation strategies to ensure consistent and measurable impact. The event also featured a keynote by Dr. Sanyam Bhardwaj, CBSE Controller of Examinations, who elaborated on the board’s post-NEP 2020 reforms. Panel discussions brought together voices from diverse schools, offering real-world insights into integrating career counseling and mental wellness into school systems. CBSE reaffirmed its commitment to holistic student development and called for stronger collaboration among educators, administrators, and mental health professionals. “With these initiatives, CBSE is reinforcing its mission to nurture not just academically successful students, but also emotionally and socially balanced individuals,” the Board said in its official statement.

Cybersecurity in Education: Protecting Students in the Digital World

/ Article/Stories

As classrooms evolve from chalkboards to Chromebooks, the education sector is increasingly vulnerable to one of the most pressing threats of the 21st century—cyberattacks. With institutions rapidly adopting digital platforms for learning, administration, and communication, safeguarding the digital safety of students, teachers, and institutional data has become more crucial than ever. The Rise of Cyber Threats in Education Educational institutions are gold mines for cybercriminals. They store vast amounts of sensitive data—from student records and academic histories to biometric information and financial details. According to reports, the education sector is among the top five most targeted industries globally for cyberattacks. Common cyber threats include: Phishing Emails: Deceptive emails tricking students or staff into revealing personal information or login credentials.  Ransomware: Malicious software that locks data until a ransom is paid.  Data Breaches: Unauthorized access to student records and research data.  DDoS Attacks: Distributed Denial-of-Service attacks that crash school websites or learning management systems.  Why Are Educational Institutions Targeted? Low Security Infrastructure: Many institutions, especially in developing countries, operate on outdated systems and lack dedicated IT teams.  Human Error: Students and faculty often lack training in identifying cyber threats, making them easy targets.  High-Value Data: Student identity information can be used for identity theft, while research data is valuable for industrial espionage.  Impact on Students and Learning Cybersecurity lapses in education don’t just compromise data—they disrupt learning and psychological well-being. For example: School closures due to ransomware attacks can lead to missed classes and exams.  Loss of personal data can lead to identity theft and long-term emotional distress.  Exposure to inappropriate or harmful online content through unsecured platforms can impact student safety and mental health.  Protective Measures for Institutions To build a digital fortress around education, institutions must adopt a multi-layered approach: 1. Invest in Cybersecurity Infrastructure Upgrade legacy systems and software regularly.  Use firewalls, antivirus software, and encryption protocols.  Implement Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) for all user accounts.  2. Conduct Regular Training and Awareness Organize workshops for students, faculty, and staff on recognizing phishing, handling passwords, and reporting suspicious activity.  Encourage cyber hygiene practices such as not sharing credentials or clicking unknown links.  3. Secure Learning Management Systems (LMS) Opt for reputable and secure platforms.  Regularly audit permissions and user access levels.  4. Develop and Test Incident Response Plans Have a clear strategy for identifying, reporting, and recovering from cyber incidents.  Run simulation drills to ensure readiness.  5. Foster a Culture of Digital Responsibility Include digital citizenship and online safety in school curricula.  Promote ethical tech use and respect for privacy among students.  Role of Government and Policy Several governments are waking up to the urgency of cybersecurity in education: In India, initiatives like Cyber Surakshit Bharat and Digital India aim to promote safe digital practices.  The U.S. K-12 Cybersecurity Act provides funding and guidance to public schools for cybersecurity preparedness.  The European Union’s GDPR has raised awareness about data protection responsibilities in educational institutions.  Collaboration is Key Cybersecurity is not just the IT department’s job. It requires a collaborative effort between: School management to fund and prioritize digital safety.  Teachers and students to remain vigilant.  Parents to reinforce safe practices at home.  EdTech providers to build privacy-first platforms.  Looking Ahead: A Secure Digital Future for Learning Education is the cornerstone of progress—and its digital transformation must be safeguarded. As we embrace online learning, AI tools, and smart classrooms, cybersecurity can no longer be an afterthought. It’s time to put student safety at the heart of digital innovation. By integrating robust cybersecurity strategies, raising awareness, and encouraging a culture of digital responsibility, we can create safe, inclusive, and future-ready learning environments—where education flourishes without fear.
