US Justice Department sues Penn State over undocumented students’ tuition

The lawsuit challenges Penn State's policy that allows undocumented students to qualify for reduced tuition rates.

On November 4, 2026, the Bihar government introduced new regulations for school teachers, non-teaching staff, and students, prohibiting them from creating or uploading reels on social media without prior approval from the relevant authorities. This directive came a week after a formal dress code was enforced on November 30, 2026.

The state's government schools have been under scrutiny, leading to significant embarrassment for the administration. Bihar is home to over 76,000 government schools, consisting of 47,000 primary schools, 25,000 upper primary schools, and approximately 5,000 higher secondary schools. The workforce in these institutions comprises around 6.6 lakh government school teachers.

Following the BJP-led NDA government's ascension to power in Bihar, all 551 government-model schools were painted saffron, purportedly to be adorned with modern amenities for students.
