No Detention Policy

 No Detention Policy


'No Detention Policy,' which means that no pupil can fail until the eighth grade. This

policy had been in place until now, when the government changed it. The researcher would

want to explain why this will make our educational system even worse. This policy was

implemented in 2009 under the Right to Education Act, which stated that every child up to

the age of 14 shall have access to educational rights under the Act. As a result, it was agreed

that the Pass/Fail system would be phased out until 8th grade, and the concept of CCE

(Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation) would be adopted, in which a child's overall

performance is assessed throughout the year, reducing the burden of grades.

This programme was inspired by industrialised countries, and its goal was to reduce

exam stress among students as well as dropout rates due to failure, allowing the maximum

number of students to receive an education.

Prior to the No Detention Policy, the passing percentage of CBSE schools was 89.44

percent in 2009, and in 2012, following three years of this policy, the passing percentage has

climbed to 98 percent.

As a result, children graduating in 2012 had two years of No Detention Policy

experience prior to their eighth grade, and the passing percentage increased after the No

Detention Policy. Furthermore, as a result of this policy, dropout rates in CBSE schools for

pupils in grades 1–5 fell from 9% in 2009 to 6.5 percent in 2012. So, these two facts suggest

that removing the pressure of a Pass/Fail grade improves kids' future performance and helps

them stay interested in school. The reason for this is that if a child is thinking about Pass/Fail

from first to eighth grade, he is affected towards rote learning because cracking an exam

someplace leads to rote learning, however when a student's concentration is not on tests, he is

driven towards rote learning.

Data also suggests that children who have failed at least once in school are more

likely to drop out. One of the top five reasons for student dropouts, according to the National

Family Health Survey of 2005, was "repeated failure," in which youngsters become

demotivated after failing repeatedly in the classroom and leave out. Such issues, which look

at caste-based data, are particularly useful in observing the development of all religions in the

country.


Gender, caste, and religion all have different rates of school dropouts. The greatest

dropout rates are among Muslims, followed by the schedule tribe at 16.55 percent, schedule

caste at 15.4 percent, and OBC at 12.7 percent, with the general category having the lowest

dropout rates at only 11 percent. Girls have the greatest school dropout rate (15.3%) when

compared to boys. The goal of these statistics is to show that if the NDP is phased out, castes,

religion, and gender will be severely impacted.

As a result, the disparity between classes and religions in our cultures will continue to

grow. Another significant cause is that society has reached a breaking point in terms of exam

stress. Exam stress has been depicted in films such as Three Idiots, in which a student

commits suicide. According to statistics, one child in our country commits suicide every

hour. In our country, there are various exam-related cases that no one has ever imagined, for

example, Four school girls perished after falling against a wall after failing a monthly exam

when a 12th grade student at Ryan School lilled a 7-year-old youngster to postpone his

exams.

Effects of Non-Registration

 Effects of Non-Registration The Companies Act, 2013 evidently highlights that the main essential for any organization to turn into a company is to get itself registered. A company cannot come into existence until it gets registered. But no such obligation has been imposed for firms by the Indian Partnership Act, 1932. If a firm is not registered it does not cease to be called as a firm, it still exists in the eyes law. Certainly, such a big advantage is not absolute but is subjected to a lot of limitations which we will study further. Non-registration of a firm simply means that the business skips the formalities of incorporation and ceases to exist in the eyes of the law. section 58 of the Indian Partnership Act, 1932 deals with the procedure of incorporation. Likewise, the meaning of non-registration is the exact opposite of registration, meaning when a firm does not go through the procedure of incorporation or start carrying on activities without getting registered.

Case Laws related to Defamation in favour of ClaimantCase Laws related to Defamation in favour of Claimant. TOLLEY Vs, J.S FRY & SONS LTD – (1931) Facts The defendants were owners of chocolate manufacturing company. They advertised their products with a caricature of the claimant, who was a prominent amateur golfer, showing him with the defendants’ chocolate in his pocket while playing golf. The advertisement compared the excellence of the chocolate to the excellence of the claimant’s drive. The claimant did not consent to or knew about the advertisement. Issue The claimant alleged that the advertisement suggested that he agreed to his portrait being used for commercial purposes and for financial gain. He further claimed that the use of his image made him look like someone who prostituted his reputation for advertising purposes and was thus unworthy of his status. At trial, several golfers gave evidence to the effect that if an amateur sold himself for advertisement, he no longer maintained his amateur status and might be asked to resign from his respective club. Furthermore, there was evidence that the possible adverse effects of the caricature on the claimant’s reputation were brought to the defendants’ attention. The trial judge found that the caricature could have a defamatory meaning. The jury then found in favor of the claimant. Held The House of Lords held that in the circumstances of this case – as explained by the facts – the caricature was capable of constituting defamation. In other words, the publication could have the meaning alleged by the claimant. The Lords also ordered a new trial limited to the assessment of damages. NEWSTEAD V LANDON EXPRESS NEWSPAPER LTD, (1939) Facts: A newspaper published a defamatory article about Harold Newstead. However, another person with this name brought an action in libel. He claimed that the article had been misunderstood as leading to him. The defendant newspaper recognised that they published the article. Also, they denied that they had the intention of being defamatory of him. Consequently, the claimant argued that the newspaper was under a duty. The duty was to give a clear and complete description of the correct person. Moreover, the claimant argued that the defendants were in breach of the duty. Issues: The issue in Newstead v London Express Newspaper, was if the reasonable persons would have understood the words complained of to refer to the plaintiff. Held: The Court of Appeal stated that in accordance with the current law on libel, liability for libel does not depend on the intention of the defamer; but on the fact of the defamation. Accordingly, a reasonable man, in this case a newspaper publisher, must be aware of the possibility of individuals with the same name and must assume that the words published will be read by a reasonable man with reasonable care.

Concept of constitutionalism

  Concept of constitutionalism Who Started Constitutionalism? John Locke - The English Bill of Rights is a foundational constitutional document that helped inspire the American Bill of Rights. Political theorist  John Locke  played a huge role in cementing the philosophy of constitutionalism.  Constitution is a written law which describes the structure of Government, the rules according to which the Govt. must work and the boundaries within which the Govt. must work. Constitutionalism   can be defined as the doctrine that governs the legitimacy of government action, and it implies something far more important than the idea of legality that requires official conduct to be in accordance with pre-fixed legal rules. Constitution constitution is the document that contains the basic and fundamental law of the nation, setting out the organization of the government and the principles of the society.
