The National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) is preparing to roll out revised textbooks for Classes IX and XI in India, with a planned release between April 10-15, 2023. This significant update is part of a broader educational reform that will see nearly 60% of the content changed, focusing on practical knowledge and skill-based learning rather than traditional rote memorization. Subjects like mathematics will introduce advanced topics earlier, aiming for a more logical flow of concepts across grades. This overhaul is guided by the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 and follows the new National Curriculum Framework for School Education (NCF-SE) 2023, which replaces the previous framework established in 1985. The transition will occur in phases, with current students in Classes X and XII continuing with the old syllabus for one more year. Schools are currently advised to refrain from purchasing old textbooks, and teachers are using a digital syllabus to prepare their lessons until the new books are available. The shift is expected to require significant training for educators to adapt to the new methodologies and structures.
