The National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) will release new syllabus and textbooks only for classes third and sixth and there will be no change in the curriculum and textbooks for other classes for the academic year 2024-25 commencing from April 1, according to an official communication by the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) to its affiliated schools.
In a communique sent to all heads of Institutions affiliated with the CBSE, the board on Friday said that the NCERT has informed it through a letter dated March 18 that new syllabi and textbooks for classes third and sixth are currently under development and will soon be released. It has advised the schools to follow these new syllabi and textbooks for classes third and sixth in place of textbooks published by the NCERT till the year 2023.
The council is preparing new school textbooks in line with the new national curriculum framework for school education (NCF-SE) 2023 as a part of the implementation of the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020. Earlier on March 17, it was reported that the NCERT is unlikely to come up with textbooks for all classes ahead of this academic year, and it will continue with the existing rationalised textbooks for the majority of the classes.
