New Jersey Ditches Teacher Certification Tests

New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy signed Act 1669 into law, eliminating the requirement for teachers to pass basic reading, writing and mathematics tests to be eligible for public school positions. The law aims to address teacher shortages in the state by making it easier for aspiring educators to join the profession. Despite receiving broad support from the state legislature with a 34-2 vote, the move has been met with criticism from some, including billionaire Elon Musk. The new law still requires teachers to hold a bachelor's degree and pass specialized tests within their subject area. According to the New Jersey Education Association, the law removes an "unnecessary barrier" for qualified candidates who may not perform well on standardized tests.

CBSE Students Master Time Management Techniques

As the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) board exams approach, students are advised to employ specific strategies for effective preparation. Firstly, they must be aware of their individual concentration span and take regular breaks during study sessions. Additionally, students should determine the optimal time for focused learning and allocate it accordingly in their schedule. Group study sessions can also be beneficial for subjects that prove challenging, allowing students to collaborate and clarify doubts with peers. It is essential not to be disheartened by past results, but rather identify areas of weakness and work on improving them. A well-planned time management strategy should be implemented for all subjects, ensuring a balance between study and relaxation activities such as playing, walking, or watching TV. Furthermore, students are advised to review and repeat their learned material regularly to aid in recall during the exams.
