TheGujaratgovernment has decided to introduce Vedic Maths in Gujarat Secondary and Higher Secondary Education Board (GSHSEB) school curriculum from next year. Vedic maths is considered to be an easier and faster way to solve mathematics problems and helps in strengthening the foundation for students.
An ancient Indian method, Vedic maths simplifies mathematics by integrating arithmetic operations into 16 sutras or formulae. It will be rolled out in phases, beginning from Class 6 to Class 8 students in the academic year 2022-23, it said. Further, it will be introduced for Class 9 and Class 10 students in 2023-24, as per the notification.
While it is mandatory for the 20,000 schools under the Schools of Excellence (SoE) project to implement Vedic maths in a phased manner, other schools under the state board are to consider the local conditions and implement it voluntarily, it said.
