From my experience being a primary school teacher for a few years, and having spent several years training teachers in formal and informal schools across India, I’d say:
- don’t carry media cameras into classrooms to record teachers and students ❌
- even if recorded with consent, don’t broadcast them to the world ❌
- unless you’re a educator / trainer in pedagogy, don’t reprimand and judge. You know nothing about school education. Leave it to the experts ❌
- a teacher may be having a bad day in class. Students too. You know nothing about their weekly plan / daily plan and what they are doing in that session you walked into ❌
- Focus on other support systems for school staff + crumbling infrastructure ❎
- focus on breakfast and mid day meals and the infra supporting these two ❎
What this minister did was immature and insensitive. Hopefully, she learns from these repeated mistakes, focuses on her portfolio, and leaves areas outside her expertise to the professionals.
This is something we have seen ministers and MLAs across India do repeatedly
Red cards are not overturned by political phone calls. They are overturned by rules, evidence and independent bodies. If a U.S. President intervenes with the FIFA President — and a player is suddenly cleared before a World Cup knockout match — the question is unavoidable: Quo vadis, FIFA?
Football must never become a playground for political power. #FIFA #WorldCup #GianniInfantino #DonaldTrump
Key Proposals at ICC AGM 2026 in Edinburgh (The Guardian):

8. Introduce a two-tier Test system.
At least we don’t have stuff like this in cricket, would be raging if one country had an overwhelming influence over the sport or had important figures in positions of power
