Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

CBSE mandates NCERT textbooks

 CBSE mandates NCERT textbooks

CBSE mandates NCERT textbooks for Classes 9-12, encourages use for lower grades

Extract:

The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has recently announced a mandate that all schools affiliated with it must use NCERT textbooks for Classes 9 to 12. Additionally, the board is encouraging the use of these textbooks for lower grades as well.

This move aims to standardize the curriculum across CBSE schools and ensure that students receive quality education consistently. By making NCERT textbooks compulsory, CBSE is taking a significant step towards promoting a uniform and structured learning experience for students at different grade levels.

This decision could have far-reaching implications on the education system, influencing teaching methodologies, assessment patterns, and overall academic performance. It also reflects the recognition of NCERT as a reliable and comprehensive educational resource by the national education board.

The emphasis on NCERT textbooks is likely to streamline the learning process, facilitate better understanding among students, and create a level playing field in terms of academic content across schools.

My Take:


Replacing Textbooks with Tablets…………..10/04/2016

"In my earlier blog advocating for the replacement of textbooks with tablets, I predicted a trend towards digital education resources.

The CBSE's decision to mandate NCERT textbooks and encourage their use for lower grades resonates with the idea of leveraging technology for a more efficient learning experience.

By emphasizing the use of digital resources like tablets, schools can enhance educational delivery and adapt to modern teaching methods."

"Looking back at my blog about reducing the burden of school bags by introducing tablets as educational tools, I can see a connection with the current mandate by CBSE.

My suggestion of providing tablets loaded with textbooks aligns with the current move towards standardizing the curriculum through NCERT textbooks.

This shift not only lightens the physical burden on students but also ensures access to quality educational content uniformly."

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Call to Action:

To the CBSE and school administrators, I urge you to consider not just the adoption of NCERT textbooks but also the integration of interactive digital resources like tablets to enhance the learning experience further.

Embracing technology in education can lead to more engaging and effective teaching practices, benefiting students across all grades.
