Hockey India League: Rupinder Pal Singh’s missed stroke proves costly as TN Dragons beat Bengal Tigers to climb top

On paper, Shrachi Rarh Bengal Tigers got the same number of points from their last matches: none. After starting the Hockey India League with three wins out of three, they have now suffered back-to-back defeats. But the nature of those losses couldn’t have been more contrasting. On Friday in Rourkela, the Tigers went down 1-2 in a closely fought contest against a gritty Tamil Nadu Dragons, now the new leaders of the tournament. They huffed, they puffed, but couldn’t break the Dragons’ defence down.As captain Rupinder Pal Singh reflected on the loss, he made it a point to insist this was a performance much better than their 0-6 defeat against Kalinga Lancers, one where they just didn’t turn up at the start and lost to an early blitzkrieg. Rupinder also conceded that the turning point of the...

Trump’s pick for education secretary Linda Mc Mohan has a degree in French: How the last 10 US education chiefs compare by their degrees – Times of India

Image via Chip Somodevilla Donald Trump’s nomination of Linda McMahon, former WWE CEO, as Secretary of Education has raised eyebrows—not just for her unconventional background, but for her academic credentials. McMahon holds a bachelor’s degree in French with a teaching certification, a far cry from the degrees held by many of her predecessors who often boasted expertise in education policy, law, or public administration.The last decade of U.S. education secretaries has seen leaders with advanced degrees in public policy and education leadership. For example, Arne Duncan, who served under President Obama, had a degree in sociology from Harvard and significant experience as the CEO of Chicago Public Schools.

Medical education in India is at a crossroads; here’s a road map

The Indian government replaced a system — the Medical Council of India, which was regulating medical education and practice for over eight decades — due to allegations of inefficiency and corruption. NITI Aayog was a strong proponent of this change, and even the judiciary advocated the need to improve medical education. The Medical Council of India was superseded by the National Medical Commission in 2020, through an Act of Parliament, which now sets new standards and regulations to reform the system. This has compelled even private medical schools to comply with certain norms. The medical community, particularly academicians and educators, closely observe the NMC’s operations.Although it may be premature to evaluate its performance within just four years, the regulators’ eagerness to impl...

Why Congress is so hesitant about showcasing 3-time Delhi CM Sheila Dikshit in its poll campaign

New Delhi: Former chief minister Sheila Dikshit led the Congress to three successive electoral victories in Delhi, but the late Congress leader is seemingly finding no mention in the party’s campaign for the upcoming assembly polls.
