The right to education is not only the right to access education but also the right to receive an education of good quality. Education must be available and accessible but also acceptable. Quality learning is not only essential for meeting people’s basic needs, but is also fundamental in fostering the conditions for global peace and sustainable development. All young people need to learn in active, collaborative and self-directed ways in order to flourish and contribute to their communities. To serve this purpose a school needs professional teachers who are well equipped with the five skills that are communication, learning, problem solving, planning and teamwork. Professional teacher knows how to directly apply what they learned during their training which leads to better instruction and improved students learning when it connects to the curriculum materials. Significant shifts in teaching and learning practices underline the need for updates in initial and continuous teacher-education across education level

Various factors influence academic achievement of students including cognitive abilities. The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between academic achievement and cognitive ability of secondary school students. Academic achievement or academic performance is the outcome of education to which a student, teacher or institution has achieved their educational goals. 320 adolescents were recruited in this study, with respect to gender, locale and type of school from secondary schools of Amritsar district. The study falls under the domain of descriptive research. Researcher has used stratified random sampling technique to study academic achievement in relation to cognitive ability among secondary school students. Cognitive style inventory by Jha (2001) was used to study cognitive ability of the students. Scores of the previous class were taken for the academic achievement. Statistically significant mean difference was found in scores of academic achievement of secondary school students with respect to different cognitive abilities. The mean score of students with integrated style was higher than followed by systematic, split, undifferentiated and intuitive style. So teacher should focus on the students whose academic achievement is low and use different teaching materials like audio- visual, chart, real objects, and different teaching methods and teach according to the abilities of students which will help students to be successful in academics. Academic success and cognitive ability are positively associated, so schools should give pupils the chance to develop their cognitive abilities through reasoning classes and quiz competitions.

The contemporary era is the era of democracy. The end of World War II changed the nature of societies and polities. The advent of behaviouralism, on the one hand, and the initiation of the cold war on the other, represented a transformation in politics both internal as well as external. Democracy became the tool to test the legitimacy of governments. Hence, interdisciplinary studies on political participation assumed significance. Participation of all the stakeholders within the polity became important. The issue of the challenges and dynamics of women’s political participation became important. The problem of mindsets and stereotypes proved to be hindrances to women’s participation. The individual, social and political transformation is considered a way out of this. Women’s participation in American politics is studied since America represents the liberal democratic model of the developed world. An attempt to understand whether there is a universality as far as women’s issues are concerned is made. The conclusion drawn is that though there is an upward trend of women’s participation, there is still a long way to go.
