This unit also recommended the grade system in secondary education in India. Along with the semester pattern, credit and grade systems have also come up in the education system. This paper is also discussing the grading system in secondary education in details along with its history.

To assist students in India in making educated decisions about their future, schools must offer career counseling. But there are a number of obstacles that make career guidance in schools less effective. The absence of seasoned and qualified career counselors is one of the main problems. In many schools in India, there isn't a specialized career counselor, therefore it's up to the already overworked teachers to handle this. Additionally, even if a career counselor exists in a school, they might not be qualified to offer accurate and current information on a range of career opportunities due to a lack of training or experience. Lack of resources for career counseling in schools is another difficulty. Due to their frequent financial constraints, schools in India may not have access to the most recent tools or technologies for careers. Additionally, effective career counseling may be hampered by Indian society and culture's expectations. Overall, overcoming these obstacles will call for a concerted effort from politicians, educators, and parents to give career counseling top priority and give students the resources and assistance they need.

Teacher education in India is undergoing significant reforms to enhance the quality and effectiveness of teaching. The Integrated Teacher Education Programme (ITEP) is one such initiative aimed at integrating theory with practice to develop skilled and competent educators. This literature review examines the current state of teacher education in India, focusing on ITEP and its impact on the teaching profession. The review highlights the importance of integrating theory with practice in teacher education, as advocated by ITEP, to help teachers develop a deeper understanding of pedagogical practices and meet the diverse needs of students. However, challenges such as the lack of infrastructure and faculty development need to be addressed to ensure the success of ITEP. Studies have shown that ITEP has the potential to improve teacher professionalism in India, leading to higher levels of job satisfaction and the adoption of innovative teaching practices. However, concerns have been raised about the implementation of ITEP, emphasizing the need for a more comprehensive approach to ensure its effectiveness. Overall, ITEP has the potential to transform teacher education in India by providing teachers with the necessary skills and competencies to excel in their profession. Further research is needed to assess the long-term impact of ITEP on teacher professionalism and student outcomes in India.

This study investigates phonemic fluency among students from different socioeconomic backgrounds. This task serves to gauge one's lexicon comprehension and their ability to recall words from memory. Sixty Punjabi-speaking students aged 8-9, split into high (HSES) and low (LSES) socioeconomic groups, participated. Each group had 30 students who were asked to generate as many words as possible within 60 seconds for the letters /p/, /n/, and /k/. Results showed that students from higher socioeconomic backgrounds performed better, with the highest scores for the letter /k/, followed by /p/ and then /n/. No significant gender differences were found. The study concludes that these reference values can be useful for language and neuropsychological assessments of typically developing children.

Emotional intelligence encompasses fully comprehending one's own emotions and those of others, showing empathy and compassion, and responding appropriately to both joyful and sorrowful situations (Yusuf and Nurishan, 2014: 242). In today's technologically advanced era, emotional intelligence has become crucial for individual success. However, due to the breakdown of traditional family structures, busy working parents, and early exposure to mobile devices and computers, students' emotional intelligence is waning due to decreased social interactions. Following the Covid-19 pandemic, many people spent much time alone and sometimes felt safer at home. It is essential to develop methods for enhancing emotional intelligence, whether in a group setting or alone at home. This research aims to enhance students' emotional intelligence through mindful practices and evaluate the impact of these practices. The study was conducted at G.V.M.C.O.E, Sonipat, using an experimental design. The sample comprised 50 student-teachers averaging 22 years of age, who were split into an intervention group (n=25) and a control group (n=25) using convenience sampling. Individuals in the intervention group partook in a mindfulness-based program twice a week for four weeks, involving a series of 5 breathing exercises and meditation training. Between the pretest and post-test evaluations, students in the intervention group demonstrated significant improvements in emotional intelligence. There were statistically notable differences in emotional intelligence scores between the intervention and control groups in the post-test. This suggests that exposure to mindful practices effectively enhances emotional intelligence.
