Mangalore, September 1: With Dakshina Kannada district slumping to 21st place in SSLC examination this year, the authorities in the district have come up with 18 point formula to improve the SSLC results.

In fact, the district was in 8th position in the results in 2010. All the schools which have secured below 60 per cent results in SSLC were issued notices and feed back was collected from such schools. Details were collected from all the managing boards of all the private and unaided schools for poor performance, said DDPI Moses Jayashekar.

The action plan prepared for improving the results should be implemented effectively, he said. All the previous SSLC examination question papers will be provided to the schools at the block level. A workshop for the head teachers of those schools which had secured below 60 per cent results and the teachers in whose subject the students performed poorely, was organised at the district-level.

In the workshop, Subject inspectors and DDPI gave the guidance to the teachers. All those schools which had received less than 60 per cent will be adopted by all the officials at the district-level and taluk level implementation officers. In fact, the Government College of Teachers Education will provide refresher courses to those teachers in whose subject, there was poor performance.

The head teachers of the school will confirm whether teachers carry out the classes as per the time table and send a report to the block and district-level officers. Identifying the learning disability in each child after every monthly examination and discussing the same with the parents and members of SDMC at a meeting.

The teachers have been asked to give special empahsis to such children in imporving their performance. All the teachers in the district should prepare model question papers in their subject and discuss it in length. The prepared question papers along with the answer key will be selected at the block level.

A block level workshop on preparation of question papers and the answer keys will be held. The prepared question papers at the block level will be collected and printed through High SChool Teachers Association and distributed among all the schools for revision.

The students will be compulsorily made to go for copy writing in the form of letter writing, essay writing, drawing, writing poems and tables. A book will be given to each student to write the unit tests. This will help the teachers and the parents to know the learning problem in the child.

A question bank along with the answer key will be prepared at the school level and distributed among the students. Unit tests/mid term test/and preparatory examinations must be conducted at the school level and the details should be sent to the subject inspectprs, DDPI office in Mangalore. A training for teachers will be held every month at the block level which will be attended by the BEO. The meet will discuss on month's review of the learning ability of the students, and take measures to improve the ability of the students.

As MLAs are President of high school SDMC, he/she will be asked to adopt schools which had secured below 60 per cent results in SSLC in his constituency. All the schools have been asked to take special classes from the beginning of the academic year.

The students will be divided on average, below verage, above average categories and special attention will be paid to those who are below average.

Bengaluru, Jun 8: Normal life is slowly returning to normal across Karnataka with the state government further easing the restrictions by throwing open places of worship, hotels, malls for the public.

Despite these places being opened after a gap of more than two months, the places wore a deserted look as the people are and cautious and not ready to take of risk of venturing out amid the ongoing Corona threat.

"Business is not as heavy as expected though it was allowed after a gap of almost three months. You can see for yourself the crowd, it is not what it should have been in a commercial area like this prior to the imposition of lockdown. However, hope it will improve", a Cloth merchant B Ramesh told UNI when asked for his reaction.

Global oil markets remained under intense pressure on Tuesday, with Brent crude dropping below $20 per barrel for the first time in 18 years while other major benchmarks across the world tumbled. 

Brent, the international crude marker, slipped to $18.10, indicating that markets see no immediate let-up to the collapse in oil demand that sent some US oil benchmarks plunging under $0 for the first time on Monday, leaving producers paying for buyers to take their oil away while available storage is scarce.

Coronavirus has sent the oil sector into a state of crisis, with lockdowns implemented by authorities to smother the outbreak slashing demand for crude by as much as a third.

Contracts for the US benchmark West Texas Intermediate for delivery next month tumbled as low as minus $40 a barrel on Monday. Analysts at Citi warned that “if global storage worsens more quickly, Brent could chase WTI down to the bottom”.

The collapse in the May WTI contract was partly a technical product of the fact that it expires on Tuesday, meaning trading volumes were low and making the contract for June delivery more noteworthy, analysts said. That contract held above $20 a barrel on Monday but slid as much as 42 per cent on Tuesday to trade at lows of $11.79, suggesting the blowout in the May contract was more than a blip and that the entire global oil market faced challenges.

Goldman Sachs analysts said the June contact was likely to face downward pressure in the coming weeks, pointing to the “still unresolved market surplus”.

“As storage becomes saturated, price volatility will remain exceptionally high in coming weeks,” they said. “But with ultimately a finite amount of storage left to fill, production will soon need to fall sizeably to bring the market into balance, finally setting the stage for higher prices once demand gradually recovers.”

Warren Patterson, head of commodities strategy at ING, said it was likely that “storage this time next month will be even more of an issue, given the surplus environment”.

“And so in the absence of a meaningful demand recovery, negative prices could return for June,” he added.

European equities traded lower, partly dragged down by weaker energy stocks. The continent-wide Stoxx 600 was down 1.9 per cent, with its oil and gas sub-index dropping 3.3 per cent. In London the FTSE shed 1.7 per cent, while Frankfurt’s Dax slid 2.3 per cent. 

Equities were also broadly lower in Asia, with futures tipping US stocks to fall 1 per cent when trading in New York begins later.

On Wall Street overnight, the S&P 500 closed down 1.8 per cent, partly because of weakness in energy shares, but also due to increased pessimism over the time it will take for countries to emerge from lockdowns.

In fixed income, the yield on the 10-year US Treasury fell 0.03 percentage points to 0.585 per cent as investors retreated to the safety of the debt.
