As the NationalEducationPolicy (NEP) 2020 has called for an overhaul of the curriculum and a local context in thesyllabus, the state council for educational research and training (SCERT) has framed committees which will review the school syllabi. Based on a national framework to be provided by the Union Education ministry, HISTORY, Geography and language syllabi for school students may undergo revision soon.
NCERT will be giving states a broad framework to work with. As NEP has said that syllabus can have content specific to a state, we have an opportunity now to revise our syllabus to include state-related content whenever required, if found necessary by the committees.
The NEP states that one of the principles it is based on is to bring in a respect for diversity and respect for the local context in all curriculum, pedagogy, and policy. This NEP aims at building a global-best education system rooted in Indian ethos, states the document.
