     Have you are wondered why soldiers are always clad in green? This is to enable them to camouflage themselves during wartime. Hiding in the jungles, their green attire blends into the surrounding trees and shrubs, making it difficult for the enemies to spot them.

        Long before man-made use of camouflaging, insects have already adopted the tactic of disguise to escape from the clutches of their predators. By having body colour close to those of the rocks and dried leaves, they can escape from being pursued by the predators.

       Butterflies and moths have developed a variety of camouflage strategies since they are quite defenceless and their predators are abundant. Possessing wings which resemble dried leaves help certain butterflies and moths to hide among heaps of dried leaves when predators are around.

   Fortunately, not all insects choose the art of disguise to escape from their predators; otherwise, the world would be so dull and colourless. There are insects which assimilate the bright body colours of bees and wasps to escape from being pursued by their predator. Long ago, birds have already learnt to avoid brilliantly coloured wasps and bees in fear of their painful stings. Hence, over millions of years, many harmless insects have assimilated the bees and wasps by imitating. their bright body colours and shapes. In this way, they appear dangerous and hence ward them off.

      The beefy, not only appears like the bumblebee in terms of body colour, even its hums sound similar too. The only difference is that the beefy does not have a stirring and is hence harmless. The hoverfly is another insect which imitates. the body colours of the wasps. Their bodies are striped yellow and black. The only deviations are that hoverflies do not have stings, and they have only one pair of wings each while wasps have two pairs each. These variations are hardly noticed by the predators and hence help them to escape.

A1. Choose two sentences that appropriately mention the theme of the passage :

(1) The extract deals with the writer’s concern over Chaitanya's handicap. (2) The extract depicts the writer’s proud feelings towards her son’s achievement. (3) The extract deals with how Chaitanya made the writer see positively towards life. (4) The extract deals with how the writer helps Chaitanya to buy the bus ticket.

          Early in 1997-98, when he returned from state-level inter-school sports, he had two prizes to his credit and a silver medal. He had won his laurels in athletic events and the silver medal in a running race.          When I saw the prizes and read the citation Chaitanya had received, I was stupefied, in total disbelief, then–hugged him, kissed him and cried unabashedly to my heart’s content. That day, I cried for the first time out of joy and a sense of being vindicated. Without practice, he had competed with approximately 1,800 children drawn from various schools all over the state. He was subsequently selected for the marathon race, but he could not participate due to a health problem. “Maybe next year, he would”, I assured myself. And I, as his proud mother, would proudly chronicle his future achievements and success to inspire other - mothers of the world.                  Looking back at my own life, I feel that it is the spirit with which we can accept our life gracefully is what matters ultimately; and it is love that nourishes us. All other things are unimportant. Chaitanya has made me look inwards. His handicap doesn’t disturb me any longer. He and I shall live with it and still be happy. The mental strength which he has given to me is inexhaustible.          One day, as both of us got onto a public transport bus, Chaitanya offered to buy the tickets for us.            “One full, one half ”, he said to the conductor beaming with joy.                Looking at him, I wondered whether he was really only a half? An incomplete person? Was I really full? Complete in all respects? Why do then normal people feel that they are ‘full’ and others like Chaitanya are ‘half’ or incomplete? Chaitanya’s world is complete in itself, pure and innocent while our lives are full of deceit, jealousies, ill-feelings.

How does nature communicate with the poet?

Summarizing is to briefly sum up the various points from the notes made from the below passage.

The Sherpas were nomadic people who first migrated from Tibet approximately 600 years ago, through the Nangpa La pass and settled in the Solukhumbu District, Nepal. These nomadic people then gradually moved westward along salt trade routes. During 14th century, Sherpa ancestors migrated from Kham. The group of people from the Kham region, east of Tibet, was called “Shyar Khamba”. The inhabitants of Shyar Khamba, were called Sherpa. Sherpa migrants travelled through Ü and Tsang, before crossing the Himalayas. According to Sherpa oral history, four groups migrated out of Solukhumbu at different times, giving rise to the four fundamental Sherpa clans: Minyagpa, Thimmi, Sertawa and Chawa. These four groups have since split into the more than 20 different clans that exist today.

Sherpas had little contact with the world beyond the mountains and they spoke their own language. AngDawa, a 76-year-old former mountaineer recalled “My first expedition was to Makalu [the world’s fifth highest mountain] with Sir Edmund Hillary’’. We were not allowed to go to the top. We wore leather boots that got really heavy when wet, and we only got a little salary, but we danced the Sherpa dance, and we were able to buy firewood and make campfires, and we spent a lot of the time dancing and singing and drinking. Today Sherpas get good pay and good equipment, but they don’t have good entertainment. My one regret is that I never got to the top of Everest. I got to the South Summit, but I never got a chance to go for the top.

The transformation began when the Sherpa Tenzing Norgay and the New Zealander Edmund Hillary scaled Everest in 1953. Edmund Hillary took efforts to build schools and health clinics to raise the living standards of the Sherpas. Thus life in Khumbu improved due to the efforts taken by Edmund Hillary and hence he was known as ‘Sherpa King’.

Sherpas working on the Everest generally tend to perish one by one, casualties of crevasse falls, avalanches, and altitude sickness. Some have simply disappeared on the mountain, never to be seen again. Apart from the bad seasons in 1922, 1970 and 2014 they do not die en masse. Sherpas carry the heaviest loads and pay the highest prices on the world’s tallest mountain. In some ways, Sherpas have benefited from the commercialization of the Everest more than any group, earning income from thousands of climbers and trekkers drawn to the mountain. While interest in climbing Everest grew gradually over the decades after the first ascent, it wasn’t until the 1990s that the economic motives of commercial guiding on Everest began. This leads to eclipse the amateur impetus of traditional mountaineering. Climbers looked after each other for the love of adventure and “the brotherhood of the rope” now are tending to mountain businesses. Sherpas have taken up jobs as guides to look after clients for a salary. Commercial guiding agencies promised any reasonably fit person a shot at Everest.

Certainly anyone who insists on condemning all lies should think about what would happen if we could reliably tell when our family, friends, colleagues, and government leaders were deceiving us. It is tempting to think that the world would become a better place without the deceptions that seem to interfere with our attempts are genuine communication. On the other hand, perhaps there is such a thing as too much honesty. - Adapted from Allison Kornet, "The Truth About Lying"

It is widely believed that people do their best work when they are promised rewards for their achievements. Our schools and workplaces operate on the assumption that good work occurs when people are competing for grades, money, or recognition from others.

People do their best work when motivated from within by their enjoyment of a particular challenge and their satisfaction in doing something well.

What do you think motivates people to do their best? Plan and write an essay in which you develop your point of view on this issue. Support your position with reasoning and examples taken from your reading, studies, experience, or observation.

Environment Unfriendly Polybags By: Amarjeet, Staff Reporter The National Herald

In the year 2002 the government had banned the production and use of plastic bags in our country. But unfortunately, these are now being widely used again everywhere. Not only are we using a huge number of polybags daily but we are also discarding them in our drains uncaring about the fact that they will block the flow of drain water. Polybags are also a threat to our environment. They cause pollution, kill wildlife and are responsible for using up the natural resources of the earth. They are one of the main factors that litter the landscape. If burnt, they will infuse the surrounding air with toxic fumes.

The main problem of plastic bags is that they are non-biodegradable. The decomposition of plastic takes around a thousand years, so with the plastic rubbish produced each day it is likely that this problem will never be solved. While the government works out ways to lessen the impact of polybags on the environment each one of us too should shoulder some responsibility for this problem that ultimately harms us all.

What Is an IEP Progress Report?

An IEP (Individualized Education Program) Progress Report aims to document and summarize a student’s progress toward the goals and objectives set in their IEP. An Individualized Education Program (IEP) is a legal document that is created for students with disabilities and details the particular support and accommodations that are needed for them to enjoy a free, adequate public education (FAPE) in the least restrictive setting (LRE). You can read more about this on the Understood website.

Teachers, parents, and other members of the Individualized Education Program (IEP) team frequently use the IEP Progress Report to assess whether or not the student is making adequate progress toward their goals. An academic, behavioral, and social-emotional snapshot of the kid, the report is compiled halfway through the school year or at the year’s conclusion.

These details are included in the report:

• Summarize the learner’s strengths and areas for improvement.
• Assessment of how well the kid is doing in their Individualized Education Program
• Evaluation of the student’s present standing about their past accomplishments.
• Details on what has been done to aid the student’s development are included below.
• Suggestions for ongoing help and modifications
• Include a place for input from parents and other team members on the progress of the Individualized Education Program.

An IEP Progress Report is a group effort that necessitates input from everyone on the IEP team. This report is essential to ensure the student’s Individualized Education Program (IEP) is being carried out correctly. The Individualized Education Program (IEP) Progress Report is crucial for keeping tabs on students’ academic development and ensuring they get the help they need to thrive in the classroom. You can learn more about this process from the National Center for Learning Disabilities .

What Should Be Included in an IEP Progress Report?

An IEP (Individualized Education Program) Progress Report should contain a complete and detailed review of the student’s progress in achieving their IEP goals and objectives.

• Feedback from Parents and Members of the IEP Team: This part should provide parents and other IEP team members with an opportunity to give feedback and comments on the student’s progress and IEP implementation.
• Signature Block: The report should include a signature block for parents, teachers, and other IEP team members to indicate that they have read and discussed the information.

It is essential to remember that the IEP Progress Report is a collaborative document that should be created with the participation of all IEP team members. The report should be concise, straightforward, and presented in language that all stakeholders easily understand. The IEP Progress Report is vital for monitoring students’ progress and ensuring they receive the necessary educational support to succeed. You should know the sample IEP progress report examples.

How Do You Write an IEP Progress Report?

• Start with an informative and concise introduction, explaining why this report is being written and highlighting the student’s academic status.
• Give a summary of the student’s existing IEP targets and aims. Please detail the student’s progress toward each target and goal.
• Use objective criteria to back up your assessment of the student’s development. Scores on standardized tests, records of observations, and examples of past work could all fall under this category.
• Talk about the student’s accomplishments and where they can grow. Include details and give evidence to back up your claims.
• Assess how well the student is doing about the IEP’s stated expectations. The student’s progress should be discussed regarding whether they are meeting, exceeding, or needing further support to accomplish their goals.
• Assess how well the present Individualized Education Program (IEP) and school setting work. Consider whether the student’s current situation can use tweaks or improvements to meet their needs better and help them achieve their goals.
• Talk about any difficulties the student has had and how those issues were resolved or are being dealt with.
• Give a quick rundown of how the student is doing in school, behaviorally and emotionally.
• Provide a summary of the student’s development and the next steps that should be taken to sustain that development as the report’s final section.

At the end of the report, we will summarize the student’s strengths, areas for growth, and overall progress toward achieving their IEP goals. It’s a great way for everyone involved in a student’s life to stay in constant contact and work together for the best possible outcome.

What Are Some IEP Progress Report Examples?

The report is a crucial instrument for ongoing communication and collaboration among all parties involved to ensure the sustained success of the student.

How Do You Collect Data for IEP Progress Reports?

Data collection for IEP progress reports is crucial for gauging the student’s development regarding the IEP’s stated objectives. Data collection for Individualized Education Program (IEP) progress reports are described below.

• Observations: One of the most important ways to get information about a student’s development is through observations made in a formal learning environment like a classroom or a therapy session. Keep careful notes on the student’s demeanor, grades, emotional health, and physical growth.
• Standardized Tests: Achievement tests and behavioral assessments are two examples of standardized exams that can be administered to students to help teachers evaluate their development. Use assessments relevant to the student’s age, skill level, and learning objectives.
• Work Samples: Data on Student Progress may be Obtained by Collecting Examples of Student Work Collecting samples of the student’s work, such as writing samples, math assignments, or projects, can provide valuable data on the student’s progress toward their academic goals.
• Self-Reflection: A helpful method of data collection is student self-reflection, in which the student is prompted to consider their performance and tries to pinpoint both areas of strength and weakness. This can be done in various ways, including through written reflection, student discussions, etc.
• Teacher and Staff Feedback: Getting input from the student’s regular educators and therapists is a great way to gauge their progress. It could be helpful to have teachers and other staff fill out a form or provide written comments on the student’s development.
• Parent Feedback: Collecting comments from a student’s parents or guardians is a great way to get insight into how their child is doing in and out of the classroom. Think about discussing this with parents or sending them a questionnaire to complete.
• Progress Monitoring Tools: Progress Graphs and checklists are only two examples of progress monitoring tools that can be used to observe a student’s development over time as they work toward a set of objectives.

These data collection techniques paint a complete picture of the student’s development toward their Individualized Education Program (IEP) targets. An accurate assessment of the student’s development requires the integration of multiple data sets.

Report Writing on Educational Tour [With PDF]

In this article you are going to learn how to write a report on Educational Tour organize by your school. So with out much delay let’s jump in.

Educational Tour From School

By Ashlyn Tony

February 23, 2018; Karnataka: A bright morning, our tutor came in and announced we are going for a field trip. We were excited but most of us didn’t know what was a field trip and what was the motive behind it. We packed ourselves and led ourselves to our school bus.

During the ride, our tutor explained to us what a field trip was and why it was conducted. We went to a zoological park. It was a different experience from classroom learning. We students grasped the concept much faster. The method of learning through experience was different. We could learn things outside textbooks.

This is done so that students can look into a particular topic from all possible perspectives enabling them to learn everything. It has also been proved that field trips are an excellent way for incorporating knowledge into young minds. This also helps students to learn and understand topics on their own without further explanations.

They help indirect learning and help students in finding things by themselves which is better than spoon-feeding information. This experience helps students to retain in their memories what they have learnt for a much longer period. 

Field Trip To A Butterfly Garden

By Rachel Harris

January 1, 2019; New Delhi: A field trip to a nearby butterfly garden was arranged for the kindergarten students. They were all excited about the idea of visiting a butterfly garden. We took the school bus to the garden. The students were so excited to see different types of butterflies.

Students observed different varieties and their teachers helped them understand the different features. They studied the different stages of growth. They saw a huge variety of butterflies. The students were so excited. By the end, students started recognising the different varieties of butterflies. They learnt all they could about Butterflies.

Also, they used this experience for instilling in students the importance of nature. They understood that the reason behind why they could not see butterflies like before is because of the disturbances humans create in the environment.

They were also taught the importance of trees in nature. They pledged that they would not hurt mother nature and will prevent unnecessary cutting of trees. Thus, the field trip was successful.

College Field Trip

By Saira Rajput

March 2, 2016; Bombay: We students were looking forward to the field trips. We were eagerly waiting for the days to come. We had pre-planned everything. Every single detail was planned and everything was set. We were visiting places with magnificent architectural designs.

The different varieties of ideas used made us think about the brilliance of the architecture. The designs, mural paintings, the statues, and the engraving on the walls. For some of us, this was the first experience. We learned about things that one should think about before planning and executing architectural designs.

This trip also taught us about the importance of precision in planning a design. One should be able to foresee everything before starting the actual construction. The quality of the materials, the materials used and also how much is the design applicable in a particular place.

Since some materials cannot be used in some climatic conditions, one should take utmost care in selecting materials for the construction. The trip made us realise our potential and also the importance of planning and precision in our field.

Field Trip To A Cow Farm

 By Mark Anthony

September 5, 2015; Gujarat: This field trip was planned so as to make students understand how a farm works. On reaching the farm, students saw a large number of cows, of different varieties. One could see the huge machines used for milking the cows. The farm had a large number of workers. There was a veterinarian for weekly checkups.

There were employees cleaning the farms. There were separate employees for each pair of cows. Cows at this farm were given high-protein foods. The sheds were cleaned regularly to control diseases that might affect the cows. One could see the care given to the cows by looking at them. After the milking process, they are sent to a nearby plant for pasteurization and packaging.

There are special sheds for pregnant cows so as to give them special care. The calves are very well taken care of. The students could understand the importance of cleanliness and regular checkups. This experience made the students realise something new and made them learn new things.

NEWS ALERT: More victims in case against Md. elementary school teacher accused of sexually abusing former student, officials say

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — A firearms instructor failed to make sure his gun was empty and fired a fatal shot into the chest of prisons department officer during a training exercise in April, according to investigative records released by the victim’s family.

The trainer was standing in front of Lt. Randy Osborne to give him additional instructions when he pulled the trigger, hitting Osborne just above his protective vest, according to the Ohio Highway State Patrol report.

David Pearson, an instructor with the state corrections department, pleaded not guilty in early August after being indicted on a misdemeanor charge of negligent homicide. Pearson’s attorney declined to comment on the report, saying a pre-trial hearing is scheduled in September.

Pearson was the lead instructor during the training exercise on April 9 at a state corrections department facility in Pickaway County. He told investigators that he was demonstrating drawing his weapon during what was supposed to be a drill with no live rounds.

“I thought I was clear. I thought I was good. I thought it was clean,” Pearson told investigators.

Osborne, 43, worked on special operations teams with the corrections department and served at the state prison in Lucasville.

Educational tours are valuable components of experiential learning, offering students firsthand experiences that enhance their understanding of academic concepts outside the classroom. Writing a comprehensive report on such a tour not only documents the journey but also evaluates its educational impact. Here’s how to craft an engaging and informative report on an educational tour.

• Table of Contents

Introduction and Tour Details

Activities and educational outcomes.

Detail the itinerary and specific activities that comprised the tour. Describe each site visited, the educational content encountered, and any interactive or hands-on experiences that were part of the tour. Focus on how these activities align with the educational objectives of the tour, discussing specific learning outcomes and how the tour helped enhance the students’ understanding of certain subjects or concepts.

Analysis and Conclusions

Educational tour report example #1.

The first destination of the educational tour is the Science Museum. The museum houses a vast collection of exhibits that showcase the latest advancements in science and technology. It is an excellent opportunity for students to learn about various scientific phenomena, including electricity, magnetism, and optics. The exhibits are interactive, allowing students to participate in hands-on activities that help them understand the concepts better. The museum visit is relevant to the tour’s theme of promoting scientific knowledge and encouraging students to pursue careers in science.

In conclusion, the educational tour provides an excellent opportunity for students to learn outside of the classroom setting. The tour’s theme of promoting scientific knowledge, historical awareness, and environmental consciousness is evident in the choice of destinations. The tour is an excellent opportunity for students to gain practical knowledge that they can apply in real-life situations, broaden their horizons, and enhance their learning experience.

Educational Tour Report Example #2

Our next stop was a historical landmark, which was a fascinating experience. The site had a rich history that dated back to the colonial era, and we were able to explore the architecture and significance of the site. The tour guide provided us with a detailed account of the events that took place at the site, and we were able to visualize the events better. We also had the opportunity to see some of the artifacts that were recovered from the site, which added to our learning experience.

Our final destination was a nature reserve, which was a unique experience. We were able to observe and learn about the flora and fauna of the area. The reserve was home to various species of animals and plants, and we had the opportunity to see them up close. The tour guide provided us with valuable information about the ecosystem and how it was being preserved. We also learned about the threats that the ecosystem was facing and the steps being taken to protect it.

Educational Tour Report Example #3

Educational tours are an excellent way to enhance the learning experience of students. These tours provide an opportunity to explore the world outside of the classroom and to gain practical knowledge. In this essay, we will explore the educational value of an educational tour that includes a visit to the Museum of Natural History, a Historical Landmark, and an Art Gallery.

Visiting a Historical Landmark provides students with a unique opportunity to learn about the history of a particular place. The landmark may be a building, monument, or site that is significant to the history of a region or country. Students can learn about the historical context of the landmark, the events that took place there, and the people involved. This information can be used to connect to the curriculum and learning objectives, such as understanding the impact of historical events on society.

An art gallery is an excellent place for students to learn about art and its significance in society. The gallery may feature a variety of artwork, such as paintings, sculptures, and installations. Students can learn about the artists, the techniques used, and the historical context of the artwork. Art appreciation and analysis are essential skills that can be integrated with other subjects such as history and literature.

Teacher Report Writing

Teacher report writing generator.

Many may assume if you have already outgrown school or have graduated from school that you can escape reports . Unfortunately, that is not the case in any way. But it does not mean that this is considered a bad thing either. In a way, school taught you how to write reports of any kind, so in the real world, you would not have any issues whatsoever when it comes to reports. Whether you are a police officer, an employee in a company, an intern in an organization or a teacher or basically anyone, you would always encounter one or more reports.

To make it as frank as possible, you cannot avoid writing or filling out reports. For whatever reason, reports are always important one way or the other. For teachers, report writing is essential. As this is one of the ways to show that their students progress to their parents. In addition to that, report writing can also be used for teacher’s personal research for their class or for a higher educational purpose. For teachers out there, how do you explain your report writing to a parent?

How to Write a Teacher Report?

Given the chance to rewrite what you already know of what a teacher report is, you would of course take the opportunity and revise what you used to know and apply what you already know. Come take a look at these five simple ways to write a teacher report.

1. Use Simple but Clear Jargon

First on the list we have is, using simple but clear jargon . Let’s face it, a lot of us make this mistake. We assume that everyone understands what we are trying to say, but quite frankly, not everyone does. To avoid this kind of misunderstanding, use simple but clear jargon. Basically you don’t have to sound fancy when you can use simple words to make your point across.

2. Always Be Clear and Concise

Whether you are writing your report card for your students or you are writing something for your research, always make sure to be clear and concise. Remember that you are not the only audience to your research or to the progress report card you are making. Apart from using simple and clear jargon, you should also make sure that you are making enough sense.

3. Give Some Examples to Prove Your Point

Writing your research, it is always best to give some examples. This is used to prove your point and to make your explanations easier to understand. When you are making your report card for your students, a good example to show would be from a general point of view. Avoid comparing your students’ progress with another student. This would only lead to the parents getting angry and would put you in a bad light.

4. Use the Instructions Given by Your School

Depending on the school and their way of writing their reports, it is always best to check before you do. This is so that you will not be wasting your time and effort, as well as it is to show that you understand the rules you are following when writing your reports. As all schools may differ in some general way of writing, follow what is taught to you.

5. Revise the Report You Are Writing

The last one but still the most important part of your writing a report is revision. Revise anything that may come off as confusing or out of the topic. Revising your report, especially the comments section for your report card is helpful. This is simply to show that how you want your point to be taken is important as well as a good communication between you and the parent or you and the reader. Your report must at least be seen as something professional.

What is a teacher report writing?

A teacher report writing is a document that you write to either use as a progress report, or a research report. This consists of the information you gathered either for research or for making your student’s progress card.

What is the purpose of this report?

The purpose of writing this report is to give out information to the right audience. If you are writing a progress report, you are going to be writing about the productivity of your student and explaining it to their parents. If you are writing a research report, you are going to be explaining your views to your readers.

What should be avoided when writing a teacher report?

There are a lot of things you should avoid, one of which is erasures. It makes the report less professional to look at. Another would be fabricating your report. Avoid this at all costs. Especially when you are doing your research. This is a huge no and should not be encouraged.

When it comes to writing reports, a lot of us may see this as a daunting task. A task that is best left for later or never at all. But what we fail to realize is that reports are quite useful for just about anyone. For teachers, this kind of tool is useful when it comes to doing their students’ progress report. It is also useful when it comes to doing research. Whether we may find this a daunting or for some a pointless task, it is without a doubt that reports are still a useful tool and should be seen as a useful tool.

Let’s deliver education systems that can support equal societies, dynamic economies and the limitless dreams of every learner in the world." UN Secretary-General António Guterres

Learning for lasting peace

Learning for peace must be a transformative process, enabling learners to gain essential knowledge, values, attitudes, skills, and behaviors, thereby empowering them to serve as catalysts for peace in their communities. The foundation of more peaceful, just, and sustainable societies is laid through education, a force that permeates every facet of our daily lives and overall prospects. In the face of escalating climate change, democratic erosion, persistent inequalities, growing discrimination, hate speech, violence, and conflict on a global scale, education emerges as a powerful tool to both address and prevent these challenges in the future. Moreover, when effectively shaped and implemented, education becomes a long-term investment with increasing returns.

An active commitment to peace is more urgent today than ever: Education is central to this endeavor.

International Day of Education "Learning for Lasting Peace"

24 january 2024: 10:00 am - 1:00 pm.

Location: ECOSOC Chamber, UNHQ, New York, United States of America Type:  Non-governmental conference Arrangement type: In-person Contact: Elisabetta Caporaso

Raise your hand!

24 january 2024: 9:30 am | 14:30 gmt.

Hosted by GPE Youth Leader Heela Yoon, a peace and education activist based in the UK and founder of Afghan Youth Ambassadors for Peace, this Raise Your Hand LIVE! aims to highlight the critical link between education and peace, emphasizing how education has a multiplier effect, with the potential to reduce global inequities, drive economic progress and build a more peaceful and stable world.

The event will be broadcast live on Youtube .

Education is a human right, a public good and a public responsibility.

The United Nations General Assembly proclaimed 24 January as International Day of Education, in celebration of the role of education for peace and development.

Education is a human right

The right to education is enshrined in article 26 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights . The declaration calls for free and compulsory elementary education. The  Convention on the Rights of the Child , adopted in 1989, goes further to stipulate that countries shall make higher education accessible to all.

Education is key to sustainable development

When it adopted the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development in September 2015, the international community recognized that education is essential for the success of all 17 of its goals. Sustainable Development Goal 4 , in particular, aims to “ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all” by 2030.

Challenges to achieving universal education

Education offers children a ladder out of poverty and a path to a promising future. But about 244 million children and adolescents around the world are out of school; 617 million children and adolescents cannot read and do basic math; less than 40% of girls in sub-Saharan Africa complete lower secondary school and some four million children and youth refugees are out of school. Their right to education is being violated and it is unacceptable. 

Without inclusive and equitable quality education and lifelong opportunities for all, countries will not succeed in achieving gender equality and breaking the cycle of poverty that is leaving millions of children, youth and adults behind.

Transforming Education, Building our Future

The Transforming Education Summit was convened in response to a global crisis in education – one of equity and inclusion, quality and relevance. Often slow and unseen, this crisis is having a devastating impact on the futures of children and youth worldwide. The Summit provided a unique opportunity to elevate education to the top of the global political agenda and to mobilize action, ambition, solidarity and solutions to recover pandemic-related learning losses and sow the seeds to transform education in a rapidly changing world.

The futures of education

Sociological, ecological, and technological trends are reshaping education systems, demanding adaptation. Despite the challenges, education possesses unparalleled transformative potential to mold equitable and sustainable futures. UNESCO takes the lead in generating ideas, sparking public discourse, and catalyzing research and action to revitalize education. This effort seeks to construct a new social contract for education, rooted in principles of human rights, social justice, human dignity, and cultural diversity. It steadfastly declares education as a public undertaking and a shared asset.

Why do we mark International Days?

International days and weeks are occasions to educate the public on issues of concern, to mobilize political will and resources to address global problems, and to celebrate and reinforce achievements of humanity. The existence of international days predates the establishment of the United Nations, but the UN has embraced them as a powerful advocacy tool. We also mark other UN observances .

Report Writing

• Updated on  
• Nov 4, 2023

The term “report” refers to a nonfiction work that presents and/or paraphrases the facts on a specific occasion, subject, or problem. The notion is that a good report will contain all the information that someone who is not familiar with the subject needs to know. Reports make it simple to bring someone up to speed on a subject, but actually writing a report is far from simple. This blog will walk you through the fundamentals of report writing, including the structure and practice themes.

This Blog Includes:

What is a report, reporting formats, newspaper or magazine reports, business reports, technical reports, what is report writing, report writing: things to keep in mind, structure of report writing, magazine vs newspaper report writing format, report writing format for class 10th to 12th, report writing example, report writing for school students: practice questions, report writing slideshare.

• Report Writing in 7 steps

Also Read: Message Writing

A report is a short document written for a particular purpose or audience. It usually sets out and analyses a problem often recommended for future purposes. Requirements for the precise form of the report depend on the department and organization. Technically, a report is defined as “any account, verbal or written, of the matters pertaining to a given topic.” This could be used to describe anything, from a witness’s evidence in court to a student’s book report.

Actually, when people use the word “report,” they usually mean official documents that lay out the details of a subject. These documents are typically written by an authority on the subject or someone who has been tasked with conducting research on it. Although there are other forms of reports, which are discussed in the following section, they primarily fulfil this definition.

What information does reporting contain? All facts are appreciated, but reports, in particular, frequently contain the following kinds of information:

• Information about a circumstance or event
• The aftereffects or ongoing impact of an incident or occurrence
• Analytical or statistical data evaluation
• Interpretations based on the report’s data
• Based on the report’s information, make predictions or suggestions
• Relationships between the information and other reports or events

Although there are some fundamental differences, producing reports and essays share many similarities. Both rely on facts, but essays also include the author’s personal viewpoints and justifications. Reports normally stick to the facts only, however, they could include some of the author’s interpretation in the conclusion.

Reports are also quite well ordered, frequently with tables of contents of headers and subheadings. This makes it simpler for readers to quickly scan reports for the data they need. Essays, on the other hand, should be read from beginning to end rather than being perused for particular information.

Depending on the objective and audience for your report, there are a few distinct types of reports. The most typical report types are listed briefly below:

• Academic report: Examines a student’s knowledge of the subject; examples include book reports, historical event reports, and biographies.
• Identifies data from company reports, such as marketing reports, internal memoranda, SWOT analyses, and feasibility reports, that is useful in corporate planning.
• Shares research findings in the form of case studies and research articles, usually in scientific publications.

Depending on how they are written, reports can be further categorised. A report, for instance, could be professional or casual, brief or lengthy, and internal or external. A lateral report is for persons on the author’s level but in separate departments, whereas a vertical report is for those on the author’s level but with different levels of the hierarchy (i.e., people who work above you and below you).

Report formats can be as varied as writing styles, but in this manual, we’ll concentrate on academic reports, which are often formal and informational.

Major Types of Reports

While the most common type of reports corresponds to the ones we read in newspapers and magazines, there are other kinds of reports that are curated for business or research purposes. Here are the major forms of report writing that you must know about:

The main purpose of newspaper or magazine reports is to cover a particular event or happening. They generally elaborate upon the 4Ws and 1H, i.e. What, Where, When, Why, and How. The key elements of newspaper or magazine report writing are as follows:

• Headline (Title)
• Report’s Name, Place, and Date
• Conclusion (Citation of sources)

Here is an example of a news report:

Business reports aim to analyze a situation or case study by implementing business theories and suggest improvements accordingly. In business report writing, you must adhere to a formal style of writing and these reports are usually lengthier than news reports since they aim to assess a particular issue in detail and provide solutions. The basic structure of business reports includes:

• Executive summary
• Findings/Recommendations

The main purpose of the technical report is to provide an empirical explanation of research-based material. Technical report writing is generally carried out by a researcher for scientific journals or product development and presentation, etc. A technical report mainly contains 

• Experimental details
• Results and discussions
• Body (elaborating upon the findings)

A report is a written record of what you’ve seen, heard, done, or looked into. It is a well-organized and methodical presentation of facts and results from an event that has already occurred. Reports are a sort of written assessment that is used to determine what you have learned through your reading, study, or experience, as well as to provide you with hands-on experience with a crucial skill that is often used in the business.

Before writing a report, there are certain things you must know to ensure that you draft a precise and structured report, and these points to remember are listed below:

• Write a concise and clear title of the report.
• Always use the past tense.
• Don’t explain the issue in the first person, i.e. ‘I’ or ‘Me’. Always write in the third person.
• Put the date, name of the place as well as the reporter’s name after the heading.
• Structure the report by dividing it into paragraphs.
• Stick to the facts and keep it descriptive.

Must Read: IELTS Sample Letters

The format of a report is determined by the kind of report it is and the assignment’s requirements. While reports can have their own particular format, the majority use the following general framework:

• Executive summary: A stand-alone section that highlights the findings in your report so that readers will know what to expect, much like an abstract in an academic paper. These are more frequently used for official reports than for academic ones.
• Introduction: Your introduction introduces the main subject you’re going to explore in the report, along with your thesis statement and any previous knowledge that is necessary before you get into your own results.
• Body: Using headings and subheadings, the report’s body discusses all of your significant findings. The majority of the report is made up of the body; in contrast to the introduction and conclusion, which are each only a few paragraphs long, the body can span many pages.
• In the conclusion, you should summarize all the data in your report and offer a clear interpretation or conclusion. Usually, the author inserts their own personal judgments or inferences here.

Report Writing Formats

It is quintessential to follow a proper format in report writing to provide it with a compact structure. Business reports and technical reports don’t have a uniform structure and are generally based on the topic or content they are elaborating on. Let’s have a look at the proper format of report writing generally for news and magazines and the key elements you must add to a news report:

To Read: How to Learn Spoken English?

The report writing structure for students in grades 10 and 12 is as follows.

• Heading :  A title that expresses the contents of the report in a descriptive manner.
• Byline : The name of the person who is responsible for drafting the report. It’s usually included in the query. Remember that you are not allowed to include any personal information in your response.
•  (introduction) : The ‘5 Ws,’ or WHAT, WHY, WHEN, and WHERE, as well as WHO was invited as the main guest, might be included.
• The account of the event in detail : The order in which events occurred, as well as their descriptions. It is the primary paragraph, and if necessary, it can be divided into two smaller paragraphs.
• Conclusion : This will give a summary of the event’s conclusion. It might include quotes from the Chief Guest’s address or a summary of the event’s outcome.

Report Writing on Teachers’ Day

Report writing is generally introduced in the English language syllabus when students are in 8th or 9th classes. There are plenty of topics on which reports can be asked to be written. This article will discuss how to write a report on Teachers’ Day. But students who have not written reports on Teachers’ Day might face some issues. So before discussing different reports on Teachers’ Day, let’s look at the importance of Teachers’ Day and why it is celebrated worldwide.

Teachers’ Day is celebrated on two different dates, on 5th September in India and 5th October worldwide. In India, Teachers’ Day is celebrated on 5th September, i.e., the birthday of our former president Dr Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan. Besides being India’s former president, Dr Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan was a scholar, teacher and philosopher. It is said that this day came into existence when some of his students decided to celebrate his birthday, and he said instead of celebrating his birthday, they should celebrate this day as Teachers’ Day and show respect to all the teachers.

On this day, students around the country pay their respects and express gratitude, love and respect to their teachers and professors. Many cultural events are also organised by the students to entertain and give their teachers a day to remember.

Let’s now look at the following reports on Teachers’ Day discussed below.

New performance report finds 32 concerns in State Department of Education programs

by Alexandra Sharfman

OKLAHOMA CITY (KOKH) — A Consolidated Performance Review Report found 32 concerns that require urgent attention in the Oklahoma State Department of Education (OSDE) programs.

The U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education (OESE) released the report made up of five sections with performance indicators.

Each program is given an indicator:

• Met Requirements with Commendation - indicates high-quality implementation and exceeds expectations
• Met Requirements - no instances of noncompliance were identified
• Met Requirements with Recommendations - there are quality implementation concerns and some improvements could be made
• Action Required - there are significant compliance or quality concerns that require urgent attention by State educational agencies (SEA)

OSDE received two commendations, 11 met requirements, seven recommendations, and 32 actions required.

Section I of the report is a snapshot of information on grant activities for Oklahoma.

This includes a breakdown of federal funding for Title I, Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief Fund (ESSER Fund), and Emergency Assistance to Non-Public Schools (EANS).

Section II is a summary of the state's performance with each program rated.

Section III goes more in-depth into areas where Oklahoma has exceeded requirements and is commended.

The report found the OSDE exceeded expectations in two areas, language instruction for English and immigrant students, and Indian education formula grants to local education agencies.

Section IV breaks down where the department has significant compliance and quality concerns and where corrective action is needed.

The report found 32 areas that require attention.

Within 60 days of receiving the report, the OSDE must provide a plan and timeline to conduct a review of its written policies and procedures, identify any gaps, and release updates to ensure compliance with the requirements.

Section V identifies where State educational agencies (SEA) have met requirements, but improvements could be made.

Seven recommendations were identified for:

• Local Applications and Plans
• Data Quality
• Educational Stability for Students in Foster Care
• Preparing, Training, and Recruiting High-Quality Teachers, Principals, or Other School Leaders: LEA-Level Funds

Report writing

Report writing is an essential skill in many disciplines. Master it now at university and writing reports in the workplace will be easier.

A report aims to inform and sometimes to persuade. They should be written as clearly and succinctly as possible with evidence about a topic, problem or situation.

Here are some general guidelines but check with your lecturer for more detailed information about what is expected.

What is a report?

Differences between a report and an essay, a report is similar to an essay in that both need:.

• to be written in a formal style.
• an introduction, body and conclusion
• analytical thinking
• extensive researching for information and evidence to support a conclusion
• careful proofreading and neat presentation.

A report is different to an essay in that a report:

• is a presentation of facts and information, rather than a discussion of various opinions
• is often written for a very specific audience (e.g. an organisation that has commissioned a report)
• is structured so that it may be scanned quickly by the reader
• uses numbered headings and subheadings (e.g. 2.1 executive summary)
• uses short, concise paragraphs and dot points where applicable
• uses graphics wherever possible (tables, graphs, illustrations)
• may need an abstract (sometimes called an executive summary)
• makes recommendations
• does not always need references and a bibliography
• often has appendices.

Plan to write your report.

Ask some questions first:

• Who has requested the report?
• Why have they asked for a report?
• What do they need to know?
• How will the report be used?
• Who is/are my audience or audiences? (e.g. clients, lecturers, assessors, managers etc.)

Analyse your task

Analysing your task is very important. Here are some questions to explore:

• What type of report is needed? (e.g. experimental report, technical design proposal, business report)
• How long does your report need to be?
• What is required in the report?
• What is the problem/question to be solved?
• What is the aim of the report?
• What key points or issues need to be addressed?
• What information do you need to collect?

Types of reports for university

For all reports, you have to ensure that the conclusions that you draw are supported by the evidence that you find. At university, you will mostly be writing business, experimental/laboratory or technical reports.

Business report

A business report aims to:

• examine how an organisation can achieve an objective
• highlight a problem and suggest a solution
• offer information, interpretation (e.g. product surveys), analysis and recommendations.

Experimental/Laboratory report

An experimental report aims to report on:

• an experiment or research
• what was achieved during the course of the experiment?
• what was concluded and how this compares with previous published results?

Technical design report

A technical design report aims to:

• solve a problem
• recommend a design.

Typical format of a report

Layout of the report

Lay out the report for easy reading and comprehension. Many managers will only read the recommendations but will dip into the report for the details which they want to find quickly and easily. Use this checklist:

GCSE results day 2024: Everything you need to know including the number grading system

Thousands of students across the country will soon be finding out their GCSE results and thinking about the next steps in their education.   

Here we explain everything you need to know about the big day, from when results day is, to the current 9-1 grading scale, to what your options are if your results aren’t what you’re expecting.  

When is GCSE results day 2024?  

GCSE results day will be taking place on Thursday the 22 August.     

The results will be made available to schools on Wednesday and available to pick up from your school by 8am on Thursday morning.  

Schools will issue their own instructions on how and when to collect your results.   

When did we change to a number grading scale?  

The shift to the numerical grading system was introduced in England in 2017 firstly in English language, English literature, and maths.  

By 2020 all subjects were shifted to number grades. This means anyone with GCSE results from 2017-2020 will have a combination of both letters and numbers.  

The numerical grading system was to signal more challenging GCSEs and to better differentiate between students’ abilities - particularly at higher grades between the A *-C grades. There only used to be 4 grades between A* and C, now with the numerical grading scale there are 6.  

What do the number grades mean?  

The grades are ranked from 1, the lowest, to 9, the highest.  

The grades don’t exactly translate, but the two grading scales meet at three points as illustrated below.  

The bottom of grade 7 is aligned with the bottom of grade A, while the bottom of grade 4 is aligned to the bottom of grade C.    

Meanwhile, the bottom of grade 1 is aligned to the bottom of grade G.  

What to do if your results weren’t what you were expecting?  

If your results weren’t what you were expecting, firstly don’t panic. You have options.  

First things first, speak to your school or college – they could be flexible on entry requirements if you’ve just missed your grades.   

They’ll also be able to give you the best tailored advice on whether re-sitting while studying for your next qualifications is a possibility.   

If you’re really unhappy with your results you can enter to resit all GCSE subjects in summer 2025. You can also take autumn exams in GCSE English language and maths.  

Speak to your sixth form or college to decide when it’s the best time for you to resit a GCSE exam.  

Look for other courses with different grade requirements     

Entry requirements vary depending on the college and course. Ask your school for advice, and call your college or another one in your area to see if there’s a space on a course you’re interested in.    

Consider an apprenticeship    

Apprenticeships combine a practical training job with study too. They’re open to you if you’re 16 or over, living in England, and not in full time education.  

As an apprentice you’ll be a paid employee, have the opportunity to work alongside experienced staff, gain job-specific skills, and get time set aside for training and study related to your role.   

You can find out more about how to apply here .  

Talk to a National Careers Service (NCS) adviser    

The National Career Service is a free resource that can help you with your career planning. Give them a call to discuss potential routes into higher education, further education, or the workplace.   

Whatever your results, if you want to find out more about all your education and training options, as well as get practical advice about your exam results, visit the  National Careers Service page  and Skills for Careers to explore your study and work choices.

     Have you are wondered why soldiers are always clad in green? This is to enable them to camouflage themselves during wartime. Hiding in the jungles, their green attire blends into the surrounding trees and shrubs, making it difficult for the enemies to spot them.

        Long before man-made use of camouflaging, insects have already adopted the tactic of disguise to escape from the clutches of their predators. By having body colour close to those of the rocks and dried leaves, they can escape from being pursued by the predators.

       Butterflies and moths have developed a variety of camouflage strategies since they are quite defenceless and their predators are abundant. Possessing wings which resemble dried leaves help certain butterflies and moths to hide among heaps of dried leaves when predators are around.

   Fortunately, not all insects choose the art of disguise to escape from their predators; otherwise, the world would be so dull and colourless. There are insects which assimilate the bright body colours of bees and wasps to escape from being pursued by their predator. Long ago, birds have already learnt to avoid brilliantly coloured wasps and bees in fear of their painful stings. Hence, over millions of years, many harmless insects have assimilated the bees and wasps by imitating. their bright body colours and shapes. In this way, they appear dangerous and hence ward them off.

      The beefy, not only appears like the bumblebee in terms of body colour, even its hums sound similar too. The only difference is that the beefy does not have a stirring and is hence harmless. The hoverfly is another insect which imitates. the body colours of the wasps. Their bodies are striped yellow and black. The only deviations are that hoverflies do not have stings, and they have only one pair of wings each while wasps have two pairs each. These variations are hardly noticed by the predators and hence help them to escape.

(1) The extract deals with the writer’s concern over Chaitanya's handicap. (2) The extract depicts the writer’s proud feelings towards her son’s achievement. (3) The extract deals with how Chaitanya made the writer see positively towards life. (4) The extract deals with how the writer helps Chaitanya to buy the bus ticket.

          Early in 1997-98, when he returned from state-level inter-school sports, he had two prizes to his credit and a silver medal. He had won his laurels in athletic events and the silver medal in a running race.          When I saw the prizes and read the citation Chaitanya had received, I was stupefied, in total disbelief, then–hugged him, kissed him and cried unabashedly to my heart’s content. That day, I cried for the first time out of joy and a sense of being vindicated. Without practice, he had competed with approximately 1,800 children drawn from various schools all over the state. He was subsequently selected for the marathon race, but he could not participate due to a health problem. “Maybe next year, he would”, I assured myself. And I, as his proud mother, would proudly chronicle his future achievements and success to inspire other - mothers of the world.                  Looking back at my own life, I feel that it is the spirit with which we can accept our life gracefully is what matters ultimately; and it is love that nourishes us. All other things are unimportant. Chaitanya has made me look inwards. His handicap doesn’t disturb me any longer. He and I shall live with it and still be happy. The mental strength which he has given to me is inexhaustible.          One day, as both of us got onto a public transport bus, Chaitanya offered to buy the tickets for us.            “One full, one half ”, he said to the conductor beaming with joy.                Looking at him, I wondered whether he was really only a half? An incomplete person? Was I really full? Complete in all respects? Why do then normal people feel that they are ‘full’ and others like Chaitanya are ‘half’ or incomplete? Chaitanya’s world is complete in itself, pure and innocent while our lives are full of deceit, jealousies, ill-feelings.

(1) At the Literary Society’s meeting, Isola read out the letters written to her Granny Pheen, when she was but a little girl. They were from a very kind man – a complete stranger.  Isola told us how these letters came to be written. (2) When Granny Pheen was nine years old, her cat died. Heartbroken, sitting in the middle of the road, she was sobbing her heart out. (3) A carriage, driving far too fast, came within a whisker of running her down. A very big man in a dark coat with a fur collar, jumped out, leaned over Pheen, and asked if he could help her. Granny Pheen said she was beyond help. Muffin, her cat, was dead. (4) The man said, ‘Of course, Muffin’s not dead. You do know cats have nine lives, don’t you?’  When Pheen said yes, the man said, ‘Well, I happen to know your Muffin was only on her third life, so she has six lives left.’ Pheen asked how he knew.  He said he always knew - cats would often appear in his mind and chat with him.  Well, not in words, of course, but in pictures. (5) He sat down on the road beside her and told her to keep still – very still. He would see if Muffin wanted to visit him.  They sat in silence for several minutes, when suddenly the man grabbed Pheen’s hand. (6) ‘Ah – yes! There she is!  She’s being born this minute!  In a mansion – in France. There’s a little boy petting her, he’s going to call her Solange. This Solange has great spirit, great verve – I can tell already! She is going to have a long, venturesome life.’ (7) Granny Pheen was so rapt by Muffin’s new fate that she stopped crying.  The man said he would visit Solange every so often and find out how she was faring. (8) He asked for Granny Pheen’s name and the name of the farm where she lived, got back into the carriage, and left. (9) Absurd as all this sounds, Granny Pheen did receive eight long letters. Isola then read them out. They were all about Muffin’s life as the French cat − Solange. She was, apparently, something of a feline musketeer.  She was no idle cat, lolling about on cushions, lapping up cream – she lived through one wild adventure after another – the only cat ever to be awarded the red rosette of the Legion of Honour. (10) What a story this man had made up for Pheen – lively, witty, full of drama and suspense. We were enchanted, speechless at the reading. When it was over (and much applauded), I asked Isola if I could see the letters, and she handed them to me. (11) The writer had signed his letters with a grand flourish :                                  VERY TRULY YOURS,                                           O.F. O’F. W.W. It was highly possible that Isola had inherited eight letters written by Oscar Wilde, for who else could have had such a preposterous name as Oscar Fingal O’Flahertie Willis Wilde.                        Adapted from : The Guernsey Literary & Potato Peel Pie Society – By Mary Ann Shaffer & Annie Barrows

(b)  Answer the following questions in your own words as briefly as possible: (i) Where did Isola get the letters from to read at the Literary Society’s meeting? [2] (ii) Who consoled Granny Pheen when she was heart-broken?  What did he say about Muffin’s lives? [2] (iii) What did the man say when Granny Pheen asked him how he knew about cats’ lives? [2] (iv) According to the man, what was Muffin’s new fate? [3]

(c) In not more than 100 words, summarise why the eight letters were a treasure to Granny Pheen. (Paragraphs 2 to 10).  Failure to keep within the word limit will be penalised. You will be required to write the summary in the form of a connected passage in about 100 words. [8]

Nowadays though locations are traced easily using GPS, (Global Positioning System) one should know what to look for in the map to reach the destination. Here are a few general instructions to be followed while reading a map.

• Study the symbols/colors that are used on the map and find what they stand for.
• Look at the scale of the map. (whether to be scaled or not to be scaled)
• Look for the pointer to know the direction.

Let us together scale the summit. Here is a drawing of the Everest showing the way to the summit, and the position of the camps with their heights. Trace the trekking trail to reach the summit with the given details and write an interesting paragraph in about 100 words.

The Summit of Mount Everest

Summarizing is to briefly sum up the various points from the notes made from the below passage.

The Sherpas were nomadic people who first migrated from Tibet approximately 600 years ago, through the Nangpa La pass and settled in the Solukhumbu District, Nepal. These nomadic people then gradually moved westward along salt trade routes. During 14th century, Sherpa ancestors migrated from Kham. The group of people from the Kham region, east of Tibet, was called “Shyar Khamba”. The inhabitants of Shyar Khamba, were called Sherpa. Sherpa migrants travelled through Ü and Tsang, before crossing the Himalayas. According to Sherpa oral history, four groups migrated out of Solukhumbu at different times, giving rise to the four fundamental Sherpa clans: Minyagpa, Thimmi, Sertawa and Chawa. These four groups have since split into the more than 20 different clans that exist today.

Sherpas had little contact with the world beyond the mountains and they spoke their own language. AngDawa, a 76-year-old former mountaineer recalled “My first expedition was to Makalu [the world’s fifth highest mountain] with Sir Edmund Hillary’’. We were not allowed to go to the top. We wore leather boots that got really heavy when wet, and we only got a little salary, but we danced the Sherpa dance, and we were able to buy firewood and make campfires, and we spent a lot of the time dancing and singing and drinking. Today Sherpas get good pay and good equipment, but they don’t have good entertainment. My one regret is that I never got to the top of Everest. I got to the South Summit, but I never got a chance to go for the top.

The transformation began when the Sherpa Tenzing Norgay and the New Zealander Edmund Hillary scaled Everest in 1953. Edmund Hillary took efforts to build schools and health clinics to raise the living standards of the Sherpas. Thus life in Khumbu improved due to the efforts taken by Edmund Hillary and hence he was known as ‘Sherpa King’.

Sherpas working on the Everest generally tend to perish one by one, casualties of crevasse falls, avalanches, and altitude sickness. Some have simply disappeared on the mountain, never to be seen again. Apart from the bad seasons in 1922, 1970 and 2014 they do not die en masse. Sherpas carry the heaviest loads and pay the highest prices on the world’s tallest mountain. In some ways, Sherpas have benefited from the commercialization of the Everest more than any group, earning income from thousands of climbers and trekkers drawn to the mountain. While interest in climbing Everest grew gradually over the decades after the first ascent, it wasn’t until the 1990s that the economic motives of commercial guiding on Everest began. This leads to eclipse the amateur impetus of traditional mountaineering. Climbers looked after each other for the love of adventure and “the brotherhood of the rope” now are tending to mountain businesses. Sherpas have taken up jobs as guides to look after clients for a salary. Commercial guiding agencies promised any reasonably fit person a shot at Everest.

Certainly anyone who insists on condemning all lies should think about what would happen if we could reliably tell when our family, friends, colleagues, and government leaders were deceiving us. It is tempting to think that the world would become a better place without the deceptions that seem to interfere with our attempts are genuine communication. On the other hand, perhaps there is such a thing as too much honesty. - Adapted from Allison Kornet, "The Truth About Lying"

Would the world be a better place if everyone always told the complete truth? Plan and write an essay in which you develop your point of view on this issue. Support your position with reasoning and examples taken from your reading, studies, experience, or observations.

It is widely believed that people do their best work when they are promised rewards for their achievements. Our schools and workplaces operate on the assumption that good work occurs when people are competing for grades, money, or recognition from others. In truth, the prospect of rewards provided by others can inhibit and limit people’s drive and creativity. People do their best work when motivated from within by their enjoyment of a particular challenge and their satisfaction in doing something well.

Robinson Takes Another Step and Earns Respect from Wirfs in the Process

Alain poupart | 20 hours ago.

• Miami Dolphins

Chop Robinson keeps learning lessons as he prepares for his first NFL season with the Miami Dolphins, and he got a good challenge assignment.

When the Dolphins practiced with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Wednesday, Robinson found himself going head-to-head with Tristan Wirfs — former first-round pick, owner of a recent lucrative contract extension — in a series of reps pitting pass rushers against offensive linemen.

Robinson had one great rep in which he cleanly beat Wirfs by getting under his pads and overpowering him, though in the final analysis, they probably split their handful of reps.

The outcome, though, didn't matter as much as Robinson was able to get out of that work because great competition only makes players better.

"I mean, for me, coming into this practice, after working my fastball, my swiping, everything like that, I really just wanted to peek into other things, like using power and stuff like that to set up my fastball whenever," Robinson said. "So I was just sitting down with Coach [Ryan] Crowe, talking about that before we came out here. Came out here and started working different things and I was able to get underneath his pads but he's a hell of a player. He was talking to me out there saying some things I did good, some things on how I hit him. So it was just it was just a back-and-forth competition, so I'm just getting better and I'm able to I'm blessed to be able to learn from him."

Robinson learned something from Wirfs in this joint practice and earned the Bucs tackle's respect — if he didn't already have it.

"I mean, he just sees something great in me," Chop said. "That's what he said. And, of course, he's great. He just got paid a lot. So I'm just excited to learn."

ROBINSON'S  ROAD TO HIS FIRST REGULAR SEASON

The Dolphins' first-round pick in the 2024 NFL draft continues to get a lot of work this training camp as he prepares for what could be a big role in his rookie season.

It's not facing Wirfs that's providing lessons, though. Robinson is finding out that life in the NFL is a bit different than in college.

"I feel like in the NFL, some running backs are very patient, and they're able to hit the hole very quickly," Robinson said. "And in college, it's like running backs get the ball [and] they just wanna go. So that's the biggest difference between here and college. So I'm just learning from that, play by play, especially with our offense. And we got the great backs, so I'm just learning every single day.

"The biggest challenge for me was, I'll say, just the speed and just learning the game, that's it. Just in college, you're just as fast as everybody. And here, it's like some of the offense linemen are faster than you, so it's just different, but I'm learning day by day from the first day of camp until now. I feel like I got way better with that."

Facing Wirfs was just another big step in that process.

It was like a wow moment for Robinson, another realization that he's living the dream of being in the NFL.

"I mean, when I went up against them, I was just like, it's crazy that I get to go against him," Robinson said. "But it still hasn't hit me yet because I'm still competing and I'm grinding every single day. I feel like maybe once I get a little break or something, it'll probably hit me."

School Report Writing: 10 Top Tips and Expert Advice for 2022

Learning Ladders Blog School Report Writing: 10 Top Tips and Expert Advice for 2022

How to write a school report

We would all like to think that parents thoroughly read through our carefully crafted pupil school reports. How they must appreciate the hours we put into school report writing! However, the reality is that reports are often not as cherished as we would hope. It’s very easy to get them wrong. Wrong name in a copy and paste. Blanket statements for the class such as “We had a great time at Arundel Castle”, then finding out the student didn’t attend that day…

But it’s also just as easy to get them right. Being specific. Writing in simple language. Providing opportunities for parents to get more involved in their child’s education. All of these elements help to create a great school report.

To help you write great end of year reports, let’s answer the simple question: what is a school report? In a nutshell it’s a written assessment of a pupil’s performance and provides valuable guidance to parents and teachers, as well as students.

Reports take time

Unfortunately, school report writing can take time. To make them as personal as we would like to, they can take hours. We want to add personal touches. We want to tailor everything to every time. But if you are writing them frequently, end of year reports can eat into quite a few weekends. Writing them termly, or bulk writing huge reports yearly is very time consuming. Automation can help nowadays. No longer do you have to use the clunky systems of the past – many modern assessment systems can take away some of the strain. Ongoing communications with parents can streamline reports, so you don’t have to include those things which have already been discussed.

Personalising school reports can go wrong

Despite all attempts to the contrary, personalisation can go wrong. It can be difficult when trying to remember everything about every child over the whole year. Remembering exactly who did what at the nativity performance is difficult in June! For those teachers who teach one subject to many children it is even harder.

Teachers and parents each have a different focus Teachers may spend ages pouring over assessment data to pick out some key targets and achievements. Some parents may want to jump to the end of the report to see if their child has loads of friends. Other parents do want to have detailed information on their child’s successes and want to help from home. A lack of detail in this area could leave them feeling like they cannot build on the recommendations.

So how do you get it right?

Here are 10 top tips to assist you with school report writing:

• Ensure nothing is a total surprise . A parent should not be finding out via the report anything which will come as a total shock – good or bad! If their child has been off task 80% of the time, they shouldn’t be finding out just before the holidays. This doesn’t help them to support changes. The report should build on and confirm the ongoing conversations, adding to the parental engagement which has gone beforehand throughout the year.
• Keep it simple . Avoid the jargon and acronyms which abound in education. Add details and simple explanations where necessary. A glossary of terms relevant to the school could even be part of the template. This can be especially helpful if you have your own assessment terms. You may also want to add a quick guide to terms such as “fronted adverbials” also.
• Be specific . Statements should be simple, and in layman’s terms, but be based on solid evidence. “Joshua did well this year” is not specific enough. Parents may like to hear such a lovely statement, but it gives them nothing to engage with. They will end up asking Joshua what he did well in… which Joshua may also not be sure of the details.
• Use the ‘4 parts’ rule . Each statement in a school report should include 4 elements: the achievement/success; evidence of that success; the target; resources to help meet the target. So, a four-part phrase might be: “Joshua has progressed well in handwriting. He is now joining most of his letters in each word. His next step is to keep the sizing of his handwriting consistent. A great website to help model this is…” All too often we stop after 3 parts: success, evidence, target. This leaves parents stuck when they want to support that target. Directing them to resources that match the school’s curriculum helps the parents.
• Follow school guidance . Every school has their own ideas about what should be included. How many words to include, for example, and usually a template. If you’re new to a school but want to get started on reports early, make sure to ask for some examples from last year to get a sense of what is expected. You may think you got the reports done before the holidays, but there is nothing more deflating than finding you need to rewrite them completely.
• There is a place for automation . Teachers may have been stung by old report writing software. It may have messed up genders or come up with some grammatically terrible sentences. Many modern assessment platforms have much more advanced techniques and tools available now. You spend the term and year updating data for the graphs and assessment information. Why not then allow the system to take some of your workload? Your assessment knows exactly where the pupils are, based on your RAG ratings of statements and such. They will output sentences to reports which follow your own school’s curriculum, and it knows who is a girl or a boy! And gets the names right every time. Technology, at its very best, is efficient, which leaves you more time to write the personal statement parts.
• Add resources and links . Again, some systems have a reporting online option. This links parents to resources that are curriculum-linked. This means that for each target they are directed to high-quality resources to use at home. This can turn your school report writing into a significant part of your teaching. Also, your learning and assessment cycle. Parents being involved in their child’s education makes a huge difference. Where you are printing reports, you can add short links. These could be simple recommended resources such as YouTube channels, websites and even apps, which you know are educationally sound.
• Make the layout easy to follow . The school template can be important in making sure reports are easy to understand. If there are grades for some subjects and not others, a design change can help to make that seem strange. As with marketing rules, there are ways to bring the parent’s eye to the key information they need to see. At Learning Ladders, we have worked really hard to ensure our reports stand out. They are based on these principles outlined. You may not have control over your school template, but you can ensure sentences are concise and paragraphs are not too long. These make the report much easier to read.
• Don’t overdo it . A few key successes and a few targets are great. Make it manageable. A list of 20 successes might seem wonderful but will be very overwhelming. For the core subjects, 3-5 successes and 3 key targets are plenty. For foundation subjects, 3 successes and 1 or 2 things to work on would be perfect.
• Treat it like a parent’s evening . When writing the personal part of the report, I like to pretend the parent is in front of me, as though I am saying everything to their face, imagining their reaction. That helps me to be enthusiastic and realistic – which comes across even on the page. This also helps me to write each pupil’s report statement in one go, rather than going back and forth to edit (which is when I am more likely to make mistakes!). I also try to imagine their questions and add a bit of context or answer those upfront, as part of the report.

Guide to GCSE results for England, summer 2024

Grading has continued as normal in summer 2024, following the return to pre-pandemic standards last year. Overall GCSE results are similar to summer 2023.

Today, students in England are receiving more than 5.6 million GCSE results. Students’ grades have been determined by their performance in their exams and assessments. These qualifications provide students with trustworthy evidence of their achievements so they can move forward in their education or training.  

Grading has continued as normal this summer, following the return to pre-pandemic standards last year. It is important that grades reflect what students know, understand and can do, to support students in making the right choices about their next steps. 

The Chief Regulator at Ofqual, Sir Ian Bauckham CBE, said: “Consistent, rigorous standards of grading are producing consistent results.   

“It is evidence that we have settled back into a pattern of dependable and trustworthy results.”

Key points 

Grading has continued as normal this summer and standards have been maintained from summer 2023.   

GCSE entries have increased by more than 250,000 compared with summer 2023. There has been an increase in the 16-year-old population since 2023, and there are more entries from post-16 students this summer for GCSE English language and maths. The changes to the post-16 cohort are reflected in the GCSE English language and maths results published today. 

Overall GCSE results are similar to 2023. Outcomes at grade 7 and above are 21.7% compared with 21.6% in 2023, and outcomes at grade 4 and above are 67.4% compared with 67.8% in 2023. 

The results for GCSE French, German and computer science reflect the small adjustments we required exam boards to make this summer.

Today (22 August 2024) we are publishing: 

a summary of results (below) 

infographics about this year’s GCSE results  

interactive visualisations of outcomes by centre type, variability in school and college GCSE results, GCSE outcomes in England, an interactive map of England showing GCSE results in different subjects by grade and county and GCSE grade combinations 

results of the 2024 National Reference Test

As normal, the Joint Council for Qualifications (JCQ) has  published results in England for GCSE , overall and by subject. These results are also shown in our  interactive visualisation .

Centre type results 

Ofqual has updated its interactive visualisation to show GCSE results for different types of school and college compared with previous years, overall and by subject. The centre type categories are based on the  national centre number (NCN) register  and are self-reported by schools and colleges. Our interactive visualisations only include those schools or colleges that have entries for a particular subject in every year from 2018 to 2024. 

Overall results for all types of school and college are broadly similar to 2023 at grade 7 and above and grade 4 and above. When students take exams, the same assessment arrangements apply to everyone. Differences in outcomes are therefore likely to reflect longstanding trends in the pattern of results for different centre types. Changes compared with 2023 will reflect changes in attainment or changes in the cohort of students taking qualifications across different types of centre. For example, more post-16 students took GCSEs this summer compared with 2023, and these students typically make up the majority of GCSE entries in further education establishments and colleges.

Cumulative percentage outcomes by centre type – grade 7 and above

Cumulative percentage outcomes by centre type – grade 4 and above

Centre variability 

Ofqual’s interactive visualisation shows the level of variation in schools’ and colleges’ GCSE results compared with 2023. We know that, in any year, individual schools and colleges may see variation in the proportion of students achieving particular grades compared with previous years. This can be due to many different factors, including differences in the mix of students entered for particular qualifications, different teaching approaches, changes in teaching staff or teaching time, and changes to qualifications.   

Our interactive visualisation allows users to explore variation in centres’ results for different age groups and sizes of centres.

GCSE French, German and computer science 

This summer we required exam boards to award GCSE French, German and computer science more generously .  

The positive adjustments in French and German follow our detailed review of an extensive evidence base as part of our work on inter-subject comparability, and subsequent announcement in 2019, that we would seek  to align grade standards in GCSE French and German with Spanish . Exam boards were required to make small positive adjustments in French at grades 7 and 4, and in German at grades 9, 7 and 4. This follows adjustments in both subjects at grades 9, 7 and 4 in summer 2023. The adjustments were taken into account during awarding and are reflected in results. We did not require exam boards to make a further adjustment at grade 9 in French this summer, as the evidence suggests that there was broad alignment with Spanish in summer 2023.

For GCSE computer science we conducted an extensive programme of research considering grading standards over time , given the changes that have been made to the qualification in the short time that it has been available (the first awards were in 2012). Our research suggests that standards may have become slightly more stringent through the period from 2014 to 2019, likely due to the changes to the qualification and the context during this period. We therefore required exam boards to award more generously this summer at grades 9, 7 and 4, to reflect the findings of the research. These small adjustments were taken into account during awarding and are reflected in results.

Equalities analyses 

As well as the results breakdowns published today, Ofqual will be repeating the equalities analyses that we have published since 2020 . Ofqual makes this information available so that the whole sector can understand qualification results and use this to inform policy making and practice. These detailed analyses consider whether the gaps between results for different groups of students have changed compared with previous years, while controlling for a range of student characteristics. It is important that these analyses control for as many student characteristics as possible, so that meaningful conclusions can be drawn from the results. This does mean, however, that it is not possible for us to complete these analyses ahead of results being issued, because final data from exams is only available very close to results days. We will publish our equalities analyses as soon as we can, in the autumn. 

When students take exams, the same assessment arrangements apply to everyone – students’ grades are solely determined by the number of marks they achieve in the assessments, and the same rules apply to everyone taking the same qualification. The gaps between results for different groups of students are therefore likely to reflect long-standing trends in attainment, and any changes this year will reflect changes in attainment. Differential patterns of achievement in qualifications reveal, rather than create, educational disparities. They are an important part of the evidence needed for addressing those disparities.

Grade boundaries 

Exam boards have set grade boundaries this summer based on a combination of data and qualitative evidence. As in any year, there has been an important role for examiner judgement. Expert examiners have reviewed the quality of students’ work compared with previous years.  

Grade boundaries typically change each exam series and are often different between exam boards. This reflects any differences in the difficulty of the assessments. If an exam paper is harder the grade boundaries will be lower, and if an exam paper is easier the grade boundaries will be higher. This is important to ensure that students are not advantaged or disadvantaged based on the exam paper that they sit. This means that some grade boundaries are lower than 2023, while others are higher. 

Grading has taken place as normal this summer and standards have been maintained from summer 2023. Students can therefore be confident in the grades they receive, irrespective of the grade boundaries or how they compare with last year.

Report Writing on Educational Tour [With PDF]

In this article you are going to learn how to write a report on Educational Tour organize by your school. So with out much delay let’s jump in.

Educational Tour From School

By Ashlyn Tony

February 23, 2018; Karnataka: A bright morning, our tutor came in and announced we are going for a field trip. We were excited but most of us didn’t know what was a field trip and what was the motive behind it. We packed ourselves and led ourselves to our school bus.

During the ride, our tutor explained to us what a field trip was and why it was conducted. We went to a zoological park. It was a different experience from classroom learning. We students grasped the concept much faster. The method of learning through experience was different. We could learn things outside textbooks.

This is done so that students can look into a particular topic from all possible perspectives enabling them to learn everything. It has also been proved that field trips are an excellent way for incorporating knowledge into young minds. This also helps students to learn and understand topics on their own without further explanations.

They help indirect learning and help students in finding things by themselves which is better than spoon-feeding information. This experience helps students to retain in their memories what they have learnt for a much longer period. 

Field Trip To A Butterfly Garden

By Rachel Harris

January 1, 2019; New Delhi: A field trip to a nearby butterfly garden was arranged for the kindergarten students. They were all excited about the idea of visiting a butterfly garden. We took the school bus to the garden. The students were so excited to see different types of butterflies.

Students observed different varieties and their teachers helped them understand the different features. They studied the different stages of growth. They saw a huge variety of butterflies. The students were so excited. By the end, students started recognising the different varieties of butterflies. They learnt all they could about Butterflies.

Also, they used this experience for instilling in students the importance of nature. They understood that the reason behind why they could not see butterflies like before is because of the disturbances humans create in the environment.

They were also taught the importance of trees in nature. They pledged that they would not hurt mother nature and will prevent unnecessary cutting of trees. Thus, the field trip was successful.

College Field Trip

By Saira Rajput

March 2, 2016; Bombay: We students were looking forward to the field trips. We were eagerly waiting for the days to come. We had pre-planned everything. Every single detail was planned and everything was set. We were visiting places with magnificent architectural designs.

The different varieties of ideas used made us think about the brilliance of the architecture. The designs, mural paintings, the statues, and the engraving on the walls. For some of us, this was the first experience. We learned about things that one should think about before planning and executing architectural designs.

This trip also taught us about the importance of precision in planning a design. One should be able to foresee everything before starting the actual construction. The quality of the materials, the materials used and also how much is the design applicable in a particular place.

Since some materials cannot be used in some climatic conditions, one should take utmost care in selecting materials for the construction. The trip made us realise our potential and also the importance of planning and precision in our field.

Field Trip To A Cow Farm

 By Mark Anthony

September 5, 2015; Gujarat: This field trip was planned so as to make students understand how a farm works. On reaching the farm, students saw a large number of cows, of different varieties. One could see the huge machines used for milking the cows. The farm had a large number of workers. There was a veterinarian for weekly checkups.

There were employees cleaning the farms. There were separate employees for each pair of cows. Cows at this farm were given high-protein foods. The sheds were cleaned regularly to control diseases that might affect the cows. One could see the care given to the cows by looking at them. After the milking process, they are sent to a nearby plant for pasteurization and packaging.

There are special sheds for pregnant cows so as to give them special care. The calves are very well taken care of. The students could understand the importance of cleanliness and regular checkups. This experience made the students realise something new and made them learn new things.
