>By A City Reporter
> GUWAHATI, Dec 9 ? The dream of north-eastern students to work in big conglomerates has started turning into a reality.
>
>Whereas students of the region are getting maximum benefits and opportunities through association with the brand names, the firms too are queuing up in search of skilled and stable manpower from the region.
>
>?Workforce from the region and the State managed to come in the good books of the management and IT companies by dint of their commitment and a stable pattern of working in comparison to the workforce from other parts of the country,? feels Pratul Chandra Kalita, Institute Coordinator of the North East Professional Institutes Forum (NEPIF).
>
>The NEPIF is a joint forum of 11 premier engineering and management institutes of North East India endorsed by the institute authorities. The forum has already organized six common placement events for its member institutes, from where organisations like ICICI Bank, Genpact, Satyam, Colgate Palmolive, Kanbay (Capgemini) TCS and TVS Motors have picked up 126 of the students.
>
>According to an estimate, the State requires raising its capacity by 17 times over the existing infrastructure in degree engineering level and five times over the existing capacity in diploma engineering level to be at par with other States of the country. However, despite this, the students from this region have managed to have a sizeable presence in the BPO sector of the country.
>
>The companies that have planned a visit in the State in the coming days are TCS, Infosys Technologies, Infosys BPO, Wipro Technologies, First Source (Formerly known as ICICI one Source), IBM Daksh Bangalore and IBM Daksh, Gurgaon.
>
>Recently the Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) recruited six students from Guwahati, Dibrugarh and Nalbari, and the next event was held on December 3 at the Department of Chemistry, Cotton College by IBM Daksh, Banglore for graduates in any discipline passing out in 2008. Infosys Technologies Limited and Infosys BPO will recruit students at the same venue it was learnt.
>
>?They have profiles for various domains such as Banking, Insurance, Telecom, Procurement, Customer service, Financial & Accounting, Knowledge Service, HR Operations, Life Sciences & Order Management,? he added.
>
>?Our other placement events will take place on December 10 and 11. We have also initiated talks with some of the firms like Vodafone and Kotak but their visit is still to be finalised,? added Kalita.
>
>Recently, Wipro BPO, the BPO arm of global IT giant Wipro, and Gauhati University (GU) organized a mega job fair for students of the university. In this first ever partnership at this scale in the north-eastern part of the country, Wipro selected around 42 students for providing job in BPO.
>
>Kandarpa Kumar Sarma, training and placement officer, GU said, ?Nearly 42 students are selected by Wipro during the fair. Those selected are graduates from different colleges under the GU.?
>
>Though the State and the region can not boast of the best quality infrastructure in its education sector, the number of students joining the job after getting through the selection procedure is higher than many of the leading States of the country.
>
>This credibility and the dedication of the North-east work force is sure to draw the national and multinational companies for the recruitment drive to the region in future,? added Kalita.

>By Partha Pratim Hazarika
> GUWAHATI, Dec 9 ? Five documentary films made by directors hailing from the North-East India have been selected for the Indian Competitive Section of the highly-prestigious Mumbai International Film Festival (MIFF) to be held from February 3 to 9 next year. These films are ? Children of the River: The Xihus of Assam, directed by filmmaker Maulee Senapati, Freedom at The Edge, directed by Aneisha Sharma, The World of Montu by Ashim Dutta, Distant Rumblings by Bani Prakash Das, all from Assam, and The Story of the Eastern Protectors by Ronel Haobam from Manipur.
>
>The 60-year-old MIFF, organised every two years by the Film Division, Government of India, is considered one of the most prominent festivals for short, documentary and animation films in Asia.
>
>Maulee?s Children of the River: The Xihus of Assam, has been produced and scripted by noted Assamese journalist and writer Sanjoy Hazarika under the banner of Mimesha Productions.
>
>Shot on locations along the Brahmaputra river, the film looks at how humans and dolphins have co-existed and how this relationship is breaking down in the face of economic pressure and poverty. For the first time in the region, it has captured on camera the secret process used by dolphin hunters to catch them. The film was recently screened in Guwahati and widely appreciated. It was also screened at the India International Centre, New Delhi on last month and received rave reviews.
>
>Freedom at the Edge, produced, scripted and directed by Aneisha Sharma, is the tragic human story of Machang Lalung, a young man from the Nelie area of central Assam, who had languished in the Tezpur Mental Hospital as an under trial prisoner for long 54 years without any trial since the year 1951.
>
>Ashim Dutta, who directs The World of Montu, hails from Dhemaji.
>
>The Indian Competitive Section will also feature New Delhi-based filmmaker Kobita Joshi?s internationally-acclaimed Tales from the Margins, a documentary about the unprecedented protest by the women activists of Manipur when they disrobed outside the paramilitary headquarters to protest the custodial killing of a young woman and the epic fast-to-death by Irom Sharmila since November 2000 demanding repeal of AFSPA.
>
>This year?s MIFF also has a North-East connection in the form of Utpal Borpujari, the National Award-winning New Delhi-based Assamese journalist being chosen to be a member of the Critics Jury.

> Washington, DC, December 4, 2007 ? The results of the 2006 Programme for International Student Assessments (PISA) were released this morning by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), showing that 15-year-old students in the U.S. continue to perform, in science and mathematics, at levels that demonstrate conclusively that far too many are unprepared for the global economy.
> The bottom line of the 2006 results is this: In relative terms, the U.S. ranked 25th among the 30 OECD member countries in mathematics, down from 23rd of 29 in the 2003 test, and 21st of 30 in science this year, dropping from 19th in 2003. That places the 15-year-olds in the United States below the OECD member country average in both subjects, not because students are scoring at lower levels on the tests, but because other countries, including Croatia, Estonia, and Azerbaijan are moving higher.
> American policies following World War II promoted and supported participation in secondary and higher education; as a result, the United States currently has the largest supply of high-level skills in its adult labor force of any country in the world. But other countries are rapidly catching up to or overtaking us, as they focus on improving their educational systems. OECD data from 2003 ranks the U.S. as 19th in high school graduation rates, below the OECD average. Other countries are sending larger proportions of their students to college, while the U.S.' rate of students who do not complete a degree is growing. Vivien Stewart of the Asia Society notes, "As these latest PISA results show, the global talent pool is increasing. We urgently need to develop a globally oriented world-class educational system to prepare students in the U.S. with the knowledge and skills to succeed."
> Putting it another way, the National Governors Association's Raymond C. Scheppach points out that "Our students' performance today is the best indicator of America's global competitiveness tomorrow. The United States faces emerging challenges across the international marketplace. The countries that thrive in this new global, entrepreneurial, and knowledge-based economy will be those that have the most highly skilled and educated workforce."
> The Alliance for Excellent Education, Asia Society, Business Roundtable, Council of Chief State School Officers, ED in '08, and the National Governors Association joined to co-host a briefing on the PISA results to provide a unique opportunity for media, policymakers, educators, the business community, and other concerned citizens to join an important discussion focused on improving the performance of U.S. students. Gene Wilhoit of the Council of Chief State School Officers explains that "The release of the 2006 PISA results is an important and worthwhile event. It provides all of us a unique opportunity to benchmark student learning in the United States with that of emerging and high performing countries, to learn from the progress of other nations, and to renew our commitment and search for ways to improve educational opportunity for all of our students."
> Even the highest achieving U.S. students on the 2006 assessment were either at or below the OECD average. Nine percent of students in the U.S. tested in the top two levels of achievement in science (the OECD average) and almost 8 percent were at those levels in math (below the OECD average of over 13 percent). These higher achievers are the most likely candidates to pursue careers in the fields of science or mathematics.
> However, almost a quarter of the U.S. students tested demonstrated very low proficiency in science, and 28 percent scored at below the minimum math level for citizens' to be able to participate fully in society and the labor market. In both subjects, the U.S. has a far greater percentage of students at these very low proficiency levels than is the average for OECD member countries as a whole.
> Business Roundtable President John J. Castellani, learning of the numbers of students in the lowest performance levels, and noting that about two-thirds of students in this country fall into the middle rankings in science and math, questions the lack of outrage that accompanies these test results: "It is difficult to understand why mediocre achievement by U.S. teenagers on international math and science assessments produces less concern and outcry than mediocre performance by a football or basketball team. There is worldwide competition for people with strong backgrounds in math and science who have the analytic and problem-solving skills needed to create tomorrow's innovations. We need to take a serious look at what the U.S. can learn from the education systems that routinely pass us by."
> PISA is administered triennially to 15-year-olds in participating countries and economies through OECD, and it relies on the leading experts in participating countries to develop valid comparisons across countries and cultures. In 2006, 57 countries, making up close to 90 percent of the world economy, participated in the assessment. Many of those countries, although not the U.S., implement PISA both at national and state or regional levels, to provide more information to policymakers that will assist them in making better-informed decisions about ways to improve student achievement.
> Roy Romer, former governor of Colorado and superintendent of the Los Angeles Unified School District, now chairman of ED in '08, knows the importance of high-level leadership to improving the educational outcomes for students. "These results reaffirm that America's education system is in crisis and that there are lasting implications for our children, who are unprepared to enter an increasingly competitive global marketplace," he says. "They underscore the need for the presidential candidates to show bold leadership, free from ideological constraints and the influence of special interests, to bring America out of this crisis back to a level competitive with top-performing countries."
> Former governor and congressman from West Virginia, Bob Wise, looks to policymakers and the public for many of the changes that must be made if America is to maintain its strong global and economic position. "The message from this international report for the U.S. Congress and every state official is that much of the world is improving education much faster than we are. Being internationally mediocre in the Olympics means only a loss of national pride; mediocre in PISA forecasts a loss of skilled jobs for U.S. citizens. These results should arouse the public and all elected leaders to learn PISA's lessons ? all students must be given a true world class education where they graduate from high school truly prepared for college or the modern workplace. The current congressional deliberations about renewing No Child Left Behind must be the first ? but not last ? step to improve these international rankings."

CCSSO provides leadership, advocacy, and technical assistance on major educational issues. The Council seeks members' consensus on major educational issues and expresses their views to civic and professional organizations, federal agencies, Congress, and the public.
> The Alliance for Excellent Education is a national policy and advocacy organization that works to make every child a high school graduate - to prepare them for college, work, and to be contributing members of society. Founded in 2001, the Alliance focuses on America's six million most at-risk secondary school students - those in the lowest achievement quartile - who are most likely to leave school without a diploma or to graduate unprepared for a productive future.
> The Asia Society is the leading global organization working to strengthen relationships and promote understanding among the people, leaders, and institutions of Asia and the United States. We seek to enhance dialogue, encourage creative expression, and generate new ideas across the fields of policy, business, education, arts, and culture.
> The Business Roundtable is committed to advocating public policies that ensure vigorous economic growth, a dynamic global economy, and the well-trained and productive U.S. workforce essential for future competitiveness. Business Roundtable believes that its potential for effectiveness is based on the fact that it draws on CEOs directly and personally, and presents government with reasoned alternatives and positive suggestions.
> The National Governors Association (NGA) is the collective voice of the nation's governors and one of Washington, D.C.'s, most respected public policy organizations. NGA provides governors and their senior staff members with services that range from representing states on Capitol Hill and before the Administration on key federal issues to developing policy reports on innovative state programs and hosting networking seminars for state government executive branch officials.
