NCERT Textbooks: The National Council of Educational Research (NCERT) has made a major change in the 10th class syllabus. Now high school children will not be able to read three chapters like the periodic table, democracy and sources of energy. The council has removed all these three chapters. The council has argued behind its removal to reduce the burden on the students.
At the beginning of the year, there was a lot of uproar over the removal of the theory of development from the 10th standard syllabus. More than 1,800 scientists and educators wrote an open letter expressing concern. The government, however, dismissed all the criticisms.
