state board to adopt NCERT for maths & science
Extract from the
article:
The Maharashtra state board plans to implement the NCERT curriculum for
mathematics and science gradually, starting with classes 1, 3, 5, 8, and 11 in
the academic year of 2025-26.
This transition will involve all non-English medium schools shifting to a
semi-English mode of education, with NCERT textbooks being adopted. The move
aims to standardize and enhance the quality of education across the state.
This decision by the Maharashtra state board reflects a strategic effort to
align the curriculum with national standards, allowing students to benefit from
a more uniform and structured educational framework.
By integrating NCERT materials, the board intends to improve the learning
outcomes in mathematics and science, ensuring students receive a robust
foundation in these critical subjects.
My Take:
"In my previous blog post titled 'State of Education,' I highlighted
the need for standardized quality in education across the country. The adoption
of NCERT by the Maharashtra state board echoes the significance of implementing
uniform standards in academic content.
This initiative aligns with the aim of establishing a consistent level of
education, which is crucial for enhancing student learning outcomes."
"In another blog post, I discussed the integration of technology in
education, emphasizing the importance of tools like Google Classroom for
interactive learning.
The training of 40,000 master trainers for teachers and the emphasis on
digital platforms by Maharashtra's education authorities demonstrate a
progressive approach towards enhancing the teaching-learning process.
This digital transformation, coupled with curriculum reforms, promises a
more engaging and efficient educational experience for both educators and
students."
Call to Action:
To the Maharashtra State Board of Education and policymakers involved in
curriculum development: Embrace feedback from teachers, students, and parents
during the phased implementation of the NCERT curriculum.
Ensure adequate support and resources for a smooth transition, fostering a
conducive learning environment for all stakeholders.
