1. A single leak is a crime. A repeated leak is a system failure.After the 2024 NEET leak, the Radhakrishnan Committee gave roughly 95 fixes — about 60 short-term and 35 long-term — most of them reported as already implemented. Yet NEET-UG 2026 still had to be scrapped, with the Supreme Court itself observing that the agency had not learnt its lesson. When reform is announced but not delivered, the fault is no longer the question paper. It is accountability.2. Two failures, one diagnosis: a broken gate at entry and at exit.In a single fortnight we saw a paper leak at the entrance gate — NEET — and a marking fiasco at the exit gate — the CBSE Class-12 On-Screen Marking, where students say the scanned answer-sheets do not even match their own handwriting. Some 18.5 million CBSE students; over 80 lakh NTA candidates a year. This is not bad luck twice. It is one institutional weakness showing up at both ends of a child's career.3. An exam is the price of a year of a young Indian's life — and we are taxing it twice.A cancelled NEET, a re-test on 21 June, a disputed board result — each is lost time, lost fees, lost confidence, compounding. And this lands on a generation where graduate joblessness already runs above 13 percent — three to four times the national average of about 3 percent. We cannot also burden the young with doubt over whether the exam itself is honest.4. Accountability — yes. Scapegoating and demolition — no.Transferring the CBSE chairman and secretary is, at best, a first step, not a reform. A recent national poll found about two-thirds of citizens want the Education Minister to resign and six in ten want the NTA dismantled. Heads of institutions must answer — I say that plainly. But I will not be misunderstood: scrapping the testing agency overnight, with lakhs of candidates already in the pipeline, risks a larger vacuum than the one we are filling. Fix the architecture; do not merely change the nameplate or burn an effigy.5. Turn the outrage into engineering — the grievance is legitimate; the despair is not the answer.Equally, demanding accountability is not ‘anti-national.' Genuine dissent and manufactured despair both exist; conflating them is its own danger.

Govt in damage control over NEET leak, CBSE evaluation row Facing mounting criticism over the NEET paper leak and anomalies in CBSE Class XII answer-sheet evaluation, the government on Thursday sought to signal a more serious and coordinated response, with Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan publicly owning responsibility for the controversies. Parallelly, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh chaired a high-level meeting attended by the Education Minister, Communication Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia and top officials, where measures were discussed to ensure that paper leaks do not take place in the NEET re-examination on June 21. A proposal to involve the Indian Air Force in transporting question papers for enhanced security was also discussed in the meeting. “We are taking a ‘whole of government' approach to ensure the integrity of the examination process, in which all departments are involved. The examination papers were transported by the Postal Department, and the possibility of the Air Force being used for transporting papers was discussed,” Dharmendra Pradhan told a TV channel. The long wait for the chair: Inside DKS and Siddaramaiah's political journeys From education to politics now. Socialist stalwart Siddaramaiah steps down as Karnataka Chief Minister after long political career The meeting with the Congress high command on May 27 turned out to be the moment D.K. Shivakumar had long waited for. By May 28, Friday, Shivakumar and then Chief Minister Siddaramaiah jointly announced to the world that the latter had tendered his resignation, ending months of speculation over Karnataka's most closely watched power equation. Earlier in the day, the two leaders shared breakfast and exchanged warm hugs — visuals carefully crafted to signal a smooth handover rather than a bitter succession battle. Born Doddalahalli Kempegowda Shivakumar on May 15, 1962, in Kanakapura to a well-to-do family, the Vokkaliga strongman first entered politics as a student activist in the 1980s. Though he lost his debut Assembly election to heavyweight H.D. Deve Gowda in 1985, Shivakumar bounced back quickly, registering the first of what would become eight consecutive Assembly victories at the age of 27 from the erstwhile Sathanur constituency. H-1B returnees face cautious AI-led job market in India, say experts Turning to the job market now. Every time the US and its immigration authorities tighten visa procedures, apprehensions rise among scores of techies on H-1B and other employment visas, with many calls for them to return to India and tap opportunities in the growing economy. However, tech executives and HR specialists caution that H-1B returnees are now facing a cautious Indian tech job market amid an AI-led shift. Even as the number of Indian tech professionals returning from the US rises, India's current hiring environment may not be ideal for large-scale absorption of H-1B talent, especially in traditional IT services and product roles, experts say. Kamal Karanth, Co-founder of specialist staffing firm Xpheno, says that considering the current dynamics and trends of active demand in the Indian job market, this is definitely not the best of times for US-settled H-1B talent to return to India. Vi launches equality pitch after Airtel Priority backlash And finally, on the telecom front. Following criticism of Bharti Airtel's launch of Priority Postpaid, Vodafone Idea, or Vi, has launched a social media campaign promising equal network access to all its users. Stating that customer-first monetisation is paramount for India's digital growth, Vi stressed the need to be transparent and “most of all remain inclusive.” The debt-ridden firm has started an online campaign encouraging people to “change to Vi,” accompanied by slogans like “No more, no less but equal network to all” and “Strong Network. Sabka Haq.” The telecom company said that everyone is a priority with Vi, which has added over 2,20,000 new towers, expanded Vi 5G in over 110 cities, and introduced AI-based self-optimizing network technology that intelligently adapts to help deliver stronger connectivity — even in crowded areas. “A stronger network should feel strong for everyone, everywhere,” said the Vi poster. Earlier this week, Vi had responded to the government's call for submissions regarding network slicing's impact on net neutrality by urging the government to hold consultations.

CBSE OSM security flaw exposed; IIT-M steps in for system audit A young ethical hacker, Nisarga Adhikary, has uncovered a serious vulnerability in CBSE's new On-Screen Marking (OSM) system, part of its Digital India push. Developed by Hyderabad-based Coempt EduTeck Pvt Ltd, the platform was so poorly secured that unauthorized users could potentially access and alter scanned Class 12 answer sheets. Adhikary reported the flaw to CERT-In on February 25, 2026, but received only a generic acknowledgement and saw no corrective action for months. He eventually went public with the issue in a May 22 blog post, also highlighting institutional apathy. Amid growing concerns over glitches and weak access controls, a team from IIT Madras is now in Delhi conducting a third-party audit of the system. IIT-M director V. Kamakoti said the review will help identify what went wrong and guide fixes. Quad to mobilise $20 bn to strengthen critical minerals supply chain Countering China's tight grip on global supplies of critical minerals, Quad partners India, the US, Australia, and Japan have signed a framework to mobilise up to $20 billion to strengthen supply chains across mining, processing, and recycling. “The Quad partners intend to support the development of secure critical minerals supply chains, which are essential for advanced technologies, economic growth, and the resilience of our industrial bases,” a statement on the `Quad critical minerals initiative framework' issued by the MEA on Tuesday said. The four countries intend to work together to use economic policy tools and coordinated investment to accelerate the development of diversified and fair critical mineral markets and support the supply of critical minerals that are crucial to our region's economic growth and security, it added. The framework was finalised at the Quad Foreign Ministers' meeting in New Delhi hosted by External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar and attended by Foreign Minister of Australia Penny Wong, Foreign Minister of Japan Toshimitsu Motegi, and US Secretary of State Marco Rubio. Airtel Priority sparks parliamentary scrutiny over net neutrality and equal access Amid a growing debate triggered by the launch of Airtel Priority post-paid plan, a Parliamentary panel on Tuesday asked the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) and the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) to study the impact of 5G network slicing services in countries such as Singapore and the UK, while also examining whether the interests of India's largely prepaid mobile subscriber base are adequately protected. The Standing Committee on Communications and Information Technology, headed by BJP MP Nishikant Dubey, also decided to call major digital and social media companies, including Meta, X, Google and Amazon, for discussions on net neutrality and preferential access practices. The meeting was convened to review “Quality of Service (QoS) Standards and Consumer Protection in Telecom Sector,” with a specific focus on net neutrality, reports Shishir Sinha. India's bank education loans record decade-high 15% jump to ₹8.58 lakh crore in FY26 Rising tuition fees, growing overseas education aspirations, and wider lender participation pushed education loans from banks to their sharpest annual growth in a decade in FY26. Outstanding education loans from banks rose nearly 15 per cent year-on-year to ₹8.58 lakh crore in FY26 from ₹7.46 lakh crore in FY25, according to data from Reserve Bank of India's latest bulletin. The loan book had contracted in FY22 and FY23 before recovering in the last two fiscals. Experts attributed the rise to increasing education costs, rupee depreciation, and a growing willingness among families to finance higher education through borrowings, writes Yashaswani Chauhan.

The headlines of the day by The Indian Express
The CBSE has been facing flak for its re-evaluation process for Class 12 Board exams this year. Parents and students have complained of a dysfunctional website, blurred answer sheets, and missing pages. At the heart of the controversy is the newly introduced On-Screen Marking (OSM), with thousands of complaints of unfair evaluation and faulty marking. The education minister has announced that the CBSE will engage IIT experts to address the technical challenges. But are technical glitches the only problem? We get to the bottom of the controversy in this episode, and joining us today are two special guests – a CBSE evaluator, and a parent. Guests: Kavita Sharma (name changed), is a teacher in a government CBSE school who worked as an evaluator this year using On-Screen marking. On Kavita's request, to protect her identity, we have not used her real name or her video in this episode. Mohit Tomar, parent of a Class 12 student, has spent much of last week trying to get his son's exam papers re-evaluated. Host: G.

Portland Public Schools has a $60 million question on its hands: What happened to the Center for Black Student Excellence voters approved in 2020?That project was written directly into the bond language. Voters were told their money would build a dedicated center focused on Black student achievement. But today, that center has effectively disappeared.In testimony to the Bond Accountability Committee, Cascade President John Charles warned that PPS is attempting a quiet bait and switch. The district has renamed the project the Grice Adair Center for Educational Excellence—a name that never appeared on the ballot—and the original CBSE no longer shows up in the new bond update. The district's website now redirects CBSE searches to a “Website Under Construction” page, with old documents scrubbed away.Why the sudden erasure? After a civil rights complaint last year, the district rushed to strip the project of its name and racial identity. By February, the U.S. Department of Education had opened a formal investigation.Now, instead of a center for Black student achievement, the public gets a vague “FACE” landing page with no mission, no curriculum, no programming, and no operating budget.Bond measures are not blank checks. Oregon bond law doesn't allow districts to take money approved for one project and quietly spend it on another. If PPS believes it can't legally deliver the CBSE it promised voters, it should say so—and ask voters before repurposing the funds.The Bond Accountability Committee should insist the bond funds be used on the CBSE or go back to voters for permission to repurpose the funds.Click HERE for John Charles' Testimony to the BAC.Click HERE for the 730-word extended commentary.

India's largest school board, CBSE, has announced that students as young as Class 3 will begin learning Artificial Intelligence.This isn't the first time. The board rolled out an AI elective for Class 9 in 2019, long before generative AI was a household name. Now, the goal is to make "AI thinking" as fundamental as grammar.We dive into this massive national experiment, exploring what "learning AI" means for a third grader—it's less about building chatbots and more about "computational thinking." And the real test ahead isn't the syllabus; it's whether India can train millions of teachers, many still unsure about using the tools they're now expected to teach.Tune in.Daybreak is produced from the newsroom of The Ken, India's first subscriber-only business news platform.

Recently, the Ministry of Education announced that an Artificial Intelligence (AI) curriculum would be introduced from Class 3 onwards for the next academic year (2026-27). In July, the government had launched the Skilling for AI Readiness (SOAR) initiative, under which thousands of CBSE schools will offer AI as a skill subject starting from Class 6. Should AI be introduced as part of school curricula? Here we discuss the issue.

This episode of The EdTech Podcast features Abdul Chohan, VP of Learning at Showbie, former chemistry teacher, and international education advisor, in conversation with Philippa Wraithmell. Abdul reflects on his experiences working with schools across India since 2012, tracing the country's journey from traditional, exam-centered classrooms to innovative, learner-centered environments. He discusses the nation's growing focus on skills development, employability, and teacher empowerment, alongside striking examples of resourceful EdTech use in both urban and rural contexts. From schools combining CBSE, IGCSE, and IB curricula under one roof to rural students enabling digital literacy within their families, Abdul highlights a culture of resilience, creativity, and fearless experimentation that positions India as a global hub for educational innovation. The conversation invites educators worldwide to rethink barriers and embrace a mindset of possibility — proving that transformation begins with courage, not connectivity.
In recent times, India has seen a sharp spike in the popularity of IB schools. In fact, having your kid in an IB school has become something of a status symbol, although that may or may not be the primary motive for most parents. But many parents, regardless of their reasons for choosing an IB school, face a number of confusing questions and dilemmas. For instance, how does the pace of learning for an IB student compare with that of a child in a CBSE school? Will an IB curriculum help a child who wants to sit for IIT or Medical entrance exams in India? If the idea is to prep the child for higher education abroad – when do you decide, how do you figure which stream, which country, and which university?

In 1954 the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that segregating school children by race was unconstitutional. As a result, districts across America spent the rest of the century integrating schools.In Portland, though, segregation is back in vogue. A group called Albina Vision Trust began promoting the idea of a Center for Black Student Excellence (CBSE) in the summer of 2020 and persuaded the Portland Public School Board (PPS) to set aside $60 million for that concept in its $1 billion construction bond that voters approved a few months later.Five years later, none of the $60 million has been spent because advocates have never been able to explain how one single building would advance Black excellence in a district serving more than 40,000 students spread over 152 square miles. A recent Oregonian editorial asked the same question, asking “how this center will finally help the district advance student achievement.”Nonetheless, the PPS Board has announced a plan to buy a new building in North Portland for the CBSE. No details are available, but the purchase will be discussed by the Board at its next meeting on September 9.In the famous 1954 Supreme Court ruling in Brown v. School Board of Topeka, Chief Justice Earl Warren wrote for a unanimous Court that, “in the field of public education, the doctrine of ‘separate but equal' has no place.” But PPS no longer cares about equality. The new goal is “equity.” Just don't ask them to explain it.
