GenCost: Building nuclear reactors would take up to six-times longer than renewables firmed by storage technologies A consultation draft report developed by the CSIRO and AEMO has found that developing nuclear energy infrastructure in Australia would be more costly and slower to roll out than alternative sources of power. The draft GenCost 2023-24 report, providing an economic analysis of future national electricity generation costs, was released on Monday. Touted as "technology-agnostic" and "policy-neutral", the report was developed by the CSIRO and the Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO). Despite varied inflationary impacts across technologies, the report found renewables have the lowest cost of a range of any new electricity generation for the seventh year in a row. Responding to the draft findings, Clean Energy Council CEO Kane Thornton said the experts concluded nuclear energy would directly impact Aussie hip pockets and drive energy prices even higher. "Waiting decades for nuclear power, which every independent review over the past few decades has found to be uneconomic when compared to renewables, is a risk... Melissa Coade

Srinagar, Dec 29: The year 2024 proved to be a landmark for Jammu and Kashmir’s education sector, defined by bold reforms, critical challenges, and remarkable milestones. From schools to universities, the year saw significant shifts in policies and priorities, reshaping the region’s academic landscape. At the school level, the government’s decision to restore the November session brought both nostalgia and logistical hurdles, with students in junior classes navigating two annual exams in a single year. Meanwhile, recruitment efforts in the School Education Department (SED), including the long-awaited advertisement for 575 lecturer posts, offered a glimmer of hope for addressing long-standing faculty shortages. In higher education, a steep decline in college admissions raised red flags, prompting fresh strategies to boost enrollment. At the same time, universities oscillated between setbacks and achievements while the University of Kashmir (KU) slipped in national rankings, University of Jammu (JU) climbed the NIRF ladder and secured a historic NAAC A++ grading. Other institutions, like Islamic University of Science and Technology (IUST), showcased growth in research and innovation, underscoring the evolving academic aspirations of the region. As the schools reopened in March 2024, post winter vacations, the students from all the classes appeared in their annual (2023) examination and later joined their new classes in April. On October 30 of 2024, the J&K Chief Minister along with the Education Minister announced the restoration of the November session for schools up to class 9th from the current academic session. The announcement was followed by the issuance of a formal order to restore the previous November examination session in the schools. In wake of this a uniform date sheet was notified by the Directorate of the School Education Kashmir (DSEK) and the students appeared in their annual exams (assessment) as the November session. With the restoration of the November session, the junior class students appeared in annual exams of two classes in one year. Besides a ‘major decline’ in the admissions in the Government Degree Colleges (GDCs) across J&K, the year 2024 marked the completion of the three years of the first NEP-2020 Batch and the students will enter in their 4th year in 2025. As per the NEP, the colleges have to ensure the research and internship of the students in their 4th year. However it remains to be seen if the colleges will be able to ensure the two important aspects because colleges are not well equipped in terms of faculty and equipment. At the University level, some major decisions were taken by the J&K government in which two sitting Vice Chancellors got extension of two years while the VC Jammu University was re-appointed for a tenure of three years. The incumbent VC of Islamic University of Science and Technology (IUST) was given an extension of two years in July 2024. He was appointed as VC of IUST in 2021 as the fourth Vice Chancellor. In another development, the term of incumbent Vice Chancellor of the SKUAST-Kashmir Prof Nazir Ahmad Ganaie was extended for two years. The order for extension came into effect from December 16 of 2024, the date of completion of his existing three year term. Also, the incumbent VC of the Jammu University Prof. Umesh Rai was re-appointed as the VC for three years with effect from April 5 of 2025. The year 2024 also saw the appointment of new VCs in two universities. Senior Professor in the Institute of Management in Keralain University of Kerala Prof K S Chandrasekar was appointed as the VC of Cluster University (CU) Jammu while Prof Jawaid Iqbal, Professor, Department of West Asian and North African Studies, Aligarh Muslim University was appointed as the new VC of BGSBU, Rajouri. Besides administrative decisions, the universities in 2024 witnessed some achievements and challenges as well. The Kashmir University slipped by 12 notches in the National Institutional Ranking Framework (NIRF) 2024 announced in August 2024. The varsity slipped to 45th rank among universities assessed across the country from 33rd in NIRF 2023, indicating a noticeable decline, though it figured among the top 50 universities. Contrary to it, Jammu University (JU) went up by at least 13 slots to figure at rank 50 from the 2023 rank of 63 in the NIRF ranking. Also, the JU was awarded A++ grade with Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) of 3.72 in the recent reaccreditation cycle by the National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC), creating a history in Jammu and Kashmir for being awarded NAAC A++ Grade. The IUST Awantipora, achieved remarkable growth in admissions during the 2024 session with a significant increase by 30 percent as compared to the previous year (2023). The university also secured an aggregated financial support of Rs 13 crores in 2024 under the DPIIT Start-up India Fund Scheme, the DST NIDHI i-TBI initiative, and the CIED-IUST Seed Fund. IUST was given a 4-star ranking by the Indian Innovation Council. IUST published 335 research papers indexed in globally recognized databases, Scopus and Web of Science in 2024. The IUST’s research excellence is reflected in its impressive h-index, which stands at 59 on Scopus and 44 on Web of Science. In 2024, the SKUAST-Kashmir doubled its undergraduate programs, expanding from seven courses in 2018 to 13 courses in 2024. Under the Mission Skill, SKUAST-K conducted 650 Skill Development Programs in 2024 as compared to 550 programs in 2024. As 2024 concludes, the duality of progress and challenges across Jammu and Kashmir’s education sector sets the stage for a critical year ahead, where the outcomes of these pivotal reforms will begin to unfold.

But as a lawyer, he should know that flight often indicates guilt. Sought by the House to shed light on his role in a controversial Philippine offshore gaming operators (Pogos) hub, Roque briefly went into hiding before slipping out of the country last month. His last known location was the Middle East, which was inadvertently made public when he filed his counter-affidavit to the qualified human trafficking case against him and more than 50 others including his client, Cassandra Li Ong. In a Zoom interview last week, Roque himself told reporters that he had his counter-affidavit notarized in the Philippine embassy in Abu Dhabi, thus raising a lot of questions, among them: why didn’t the Filipino consul who authenticated the affidavit and our ambassador in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) inform the Philippines of Roque’s whereabouts? How did he end up in the capital city of UAE anyway? Did key players in the now illegal Pogo sector facilitate his escape? Roque fled the country despite an arrest warrant issued by the House of Representatives for his failure to submit documents that would justify the hefty increase in his wealth, which he himself had promised earlier during congressional hearings on Pogos. According to Batangas Rep. Gerville Luistro, Roque’s assets ballooned to P125 million in 2018 from a measly P125,000 in 2016. Tracing a paper trail that led to Roque’s doorstep, the House quad committee and the Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Commission (PAOCC) had uncovered evidence about his substantive role in a Pogo hub suspected to be behind illegal activities and scams. A PAOCC raid on Lucky South 99, a Pogo hub in Porac, Pampanga, in June yielded incriminating documents bearing Roque’s signature. Despite his repeated denials of involvement in illegal Pogo operations, Roque had provided legal counsel to Whirlwind Corp., which owns the raided property. In late July, Roque admitted to partly owning the house in Tuba, Benguet, where PAOCC and Bureau of Immigration (BI) agents nabbed two Chinese nationals who have links to the Pogo hub associated with former Bamban, Tarlac, mayor Alice Guo. Suspected of faking Filipino citizenship, Guo is facing complaints for graft, qualified human trafficking, money laundering, tax evasion, and election offenses. The raided house belongs to PH2 Corp., a company owned primarily by Biancham Holdings and Trading Inc. Is it pure coincidence that Roque and his wife, Mylah, were listed as shareholders of Biancham, a portmanteau of their children’s names? Sen. Risa Hontiveros noted as well that model and pageant winner Alberto Rodulfo dela Serna, who was Roque’s former executive assistant, is also listed as a shareholder. There’s no denying that Roque’s escape indicates that the manhunt operations launched by authorities in early September had failed miserably. Despite the House’s warrant of arrest, he had managed to bolt the country, making a mockery of congressional summons and raising serious doubts about the BI’s ability to safeguard the country’s ports and airports from the entry and exit of dubious personalities. We might not know how Roque and his wife managed to leave local shores, but without a pending case in court that could warrant the issuance of a hold departure order, suspicions are rife that they left the country through official channels. Moreover, the apparent hesitation by some agencies to track Roque only shows that political connections can upend the nation’s search for truth and justice. Sen. Sherwin Gatchalian noted that because of the House’s arrest warrant and contempt order, Roque should have been on the BI’s lookout bulletin. He added: “I hope this is not an ‘Alice Guo part two’ because you cannot take a boat all the way to the Middle East. It’s impossible.” Hontiveros showed the same incredulity towards the BI’s wanton negligence. “Dubai in the UAE is a Pogo hub, so it’s possible that Pogo actors helped him escape,” she said, adding that the Bureau has yet to explain how Guo had escaped to Indonesia undetected in July, before she was arrested on Sept. 3.

Rubbing salt on the country’s wound caused by Roque’s escape is his privileged status as spokesperson of former president Rodrigo Duterte. Is this why the nation’s top police and Interior officials haven’t publicly protested his escape, much less declare that they’d personally fetch him like they did Guo in Jakarta, Indonesia? Roque’s continued absence jeopardizes the nation’s call for accountability from those who had conspired with mostly Chinese nationals to enable Pogos to thrive, even through criminal means. In the interest of justice, it is necessary for government agencies to produce Roque so that the investigation into Pogos and their local protectors can continue unabated—even beyond the year-end deadline set by President Marcos to end all Pogo operations.
