What I did:
I read some articles on the internet
What I learnt:
Words I didn’t know: liberal - willing to respect or accept behaviour or opinions different from one's own; open to new ideas.
Allay - diminish or put at rest (fear, suspicion, or worry).
Summary:
The net will not be available for the civil servants but they can access it using their own personal devices or government computers dedicated to that purpose. The government feels that this would stop information from leaking out to the public thus they decided to remove internet access from the civil servants from May next year.

The new scoring system aims to broaden the child’s ability and also plans to lift the stress off the children from being very focused on academics and pressure from their peers performance since the aggregate students get now is based on how well one does compared to their peers.
