Mizoram to revert to January–December academic calendar from 2027–28



Academic Calendar Shift Announced



The Mizoram government has decided to revert to the January–December academic calendar starting from the 2027–28 academic session. This marks a return to the earlier system, replacing the current April–March calendar that was introduced to align with the national pattern.

 Classes Covered Under the New Schedule

The revised calendar will apply to primary, middle, and secondary school levels. However, higher secondary classes (Classes 11 and 12) will continue to follow the April–March cycle, ensuring alignment with national-level board examinations and entrance tests.

Reason Behind the Decision

The move comes after extensive consultations with teachers, parents, and education stakeholders, where a large majority supported the January–December format. The government stated that the calendar is more suitable to Mizoram’s local conditions, climate, and social practices.

 Focus on Student Safety and Climate

One major consideration behind the change is student safety during the monsoon season. By restructuring the academic year, authorities aim to schedule vacations during heavy rainfall periods, reducing risks caused by landslides and poor road conditions in the hilly state.

Part of Broader Education Reforms

The calendar revision is part of wider education reforms in Mizoram, which also include giving schools more autonomy in matters such as uniforms and evaluation practices. The government emphasized that these steps are aimed at improving education quality and student well-being.

Japan’s Innovative Approach to Artificial Intelligence Legislation

-

  Japan introduced law aimed at encouraging artificial intelligence (AI) research and development. This legislation, known as the Act on the Promotion of Research, Development and Utilisation of Artificial Intelligence-Related Technologies, seeks to position Japan as a leader in the global AI landscape. The law diverges from stringent regulatory frameworks like the European Union’s AI Act, instead promoting an innovation-driven environment. Key Features of Japan’s AI Law The Act establishes an Artificial Intelligence Strategy Headquarters under the Cabinet. This body is responsible for formulating a national Basic Plan for AI. The plan encompasses foundational research, industrial deployment, international collaboration, and public education. The law avoids rigid regulatory frameworks and focuses on enabling innovation and encouraging cooperation among stakeholders. Comparison with the European Union’s AI Act In contrast to Japan’s approach, the EU’s AI Act employs a risk-based cl...

EMM-Negative Blood Group System

  The International Society of Blood Transfusion officially recognised a new blood group system named EMM-negative, also known as Gwada negative. This designation emerged from the unique case of a woman from Guadeloupe who is the only known individual to possess this rare blood type. The discovery puts stress on advancements in transfusion medicine and genetic research. What is Gwada Negative? Gwada negative refers to the EMM-negative blood group system, identified by the absence of the EMM antigen on red blood cells. This antigen is a high-incidence antigen, present in almost all humans. The lack of such a common antigen is medically and has led to the classification of this blood type as the 48th globally recognised system in transfusion science. Discovery Process The identification of the EMM-negative blood type began in 2011 when the woman underwent routine blood tests. Initial attempts to classify her blood were inconclusive due to the lack of technology. In 2019, advancement...

Non-Binary AI Chip

  China has made leap in artificial intelligence with the deployment of non-binary AI chips. This advancement comes from Professor Li Hongge’s team at Beihang University. They have developed a novel computing approach called Hybrid Stochastic Number (HSN) computing. This innovation aims to address critical limitations in conventional computing. About Hybrid Stochastic Number Computing Hybrid Stochastic Number computing merges traditional binary logic with probabilistic logic. Binary systems operate on precise calculations using 1s and 0s, which are energy-intensive. In contrast, stochastic computing uses voltage signal frequencies to represent values, resulting in lower power consumption but often slower performance. The HSN system combines these approaches to achieve a balance of energy efficiency and computational reliability. Addressing Key Limitations in Conventional Chips Two major limitations challenge conventional chips – the power wall and the architecture wall. The power ...
