Autoescolas vão acabar e CNH não será obrigatória

Publisher’s rating: ENGANOSO

The video’s claim that autoescolas would end after approval of bill 6485/2019 was misleading: the bill was archived and was not approved by either chamber of Congress. The review says training at authorized driving centers remained mandatory for obtaining a CNH.

தமிழ் வேண்டாம்! திமுக அரசு உத்தரவு.! இந்த ஆண்டு பத்தாம் வகுப்பு பொதுத் தேர்வில் தமிழ் பாடம் கட்டாயமில்லை என திமுக அரசின் கல்வித்துறை அறிவித்துள்ளது. மேலும் சிறுபான்மை மொழிகளில் தேர்வை எழுதிக்கொள்ளவும் அனுமதி. தமிழையே தேவையில்லை என்று ஒதுக்கியதன் மூலம் உங்களின் போலி தமிழ்ப்பற்று வெளிப்பட்டுவிட்டது முதல்வரே.!

Vídeo gravado pela diretora de uma escola estadual de Santa Cruz do Sul (RS) diz que o Ministério da Educação enviou o livro “O Avesso da Pele”, do autor Jeferson Tenório, para ser trabalhado pelos alunos do ensino médio. Ela diz que a obra é inadequada por descrever uma relação sexual do protagonista e questionamentos de outros personagens sobre os aspectos de um relacionamento com um homem negro. A publicação foi compartilhada por parlamentares que atribuíram a escolha da peça literária à atual gestão do PT.

The review says the explicit text was not part of Rutgers’ educational material for children; the image was taken from a Rutgers information brochure for parents. The image had been altered by adding the text, and who added it is unknown.

The Ministry of Education has issued guidelines stating that students under 16 years old are not allowed to enrol in coaching institutions or receive home tuition. Non-compliance is said to be a punishable offence. The central government has mandated that each state government is required to implement these guidelines

Publisher’s rating: MISLEADING

The Ministry’s 16 January 2024 guidelines prohibit coaching centres from enrolling students under 16, and non-compliance is punishable. However, enforcement depends on individual states adopting the guidelines; they apply to coaching institutions with more than 50 students and not to home tuition or similar setups with fewer than 50 enrolled children.
