NCERT to review syllabus and textbooks with aim to reduce burden on students
India TodayOn December 15, Sridhar Srivastava, the National Council of Educational Research and Training director in charge wrote a letter to the heads of departments of the council. In his letter, Srivastava mentioned that keeping in view the disruptions hit by Covid19, NCERT plans to make a ‘’speedy recovery’’ in students’ learning from the next academic year. He added that NCERT should “take a step towards rationalisation of its syllabi and textbooks for the next year across the stages.” The exercise would be carried out for Classes 6 to 12. The NEP 2020 states that reduction in content, increased flexibility of school curriculum and renewed emphasis on constructive rather than rote learning, must be accompanied by changes in school textbooks.
