New Delhi: A day after Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has announced that the syllabus for Class 9 to Class 12 will be reduced by 30 per cent in the current academic year, there have been many opinions and comments made due to dissatisfaction over the move of the HRD Ministry.

Now the Human Resource Development Minister Dr Ramesh Pokhariyal himself has asked the groups to leave politics out of education and make it more educated.

He explained it with an EXAMPLE:

Syllabus for Class 9 to Class 12 reduced by 30 per cent

The decision was taken after Human Resource Development Minister Ramesh Pokhriyal ‘Nishank’ asked the CBSE to “revise” the curriculum keeping in view “extraordinary situation prevailing in the country and the world”. The same had been previously suggested by Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia for all grades to make up for the loss suffered during the pandemic situation.

The CBSE has asked the NCERT to drop some of the crucial and controversial chapters from Class IX to XII this year, including – for instance in Social Science – democratic rights, challenges to democracy, citizenship, food security, gender, religion, caste and secularism.

From class XII textbooks, the NCERT has decided to delete sections dealing with the government’s five-year plan and economic development under ‘Planned Development’; India’s relations with neighbours Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Sri Lanka and Myanmar under the chapter ‘India’s Foreign Policy’; along with an entire chapter on social movements and regional aspirations in India.
