The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has slashed a slew of chapters from its curriculum course for the academic year 2020-21 to reduce the burden on students in light of the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, NDTV has reported.
As per the report, the syllabus of Economics and Political Science has been slashed for classes 9 to 12 and when it comes to class 11 chapters like Secularism, Nationalism, Federalism and Citizenship have been removed from the syllabus.
Similarly chapters like Democracy and Diversity, Caste, Religion and Gender, and Challenges to Democracy have been removed from the Class 10 syllabus.
CBSE states that the syllabus for the upcoming academic year would be reduced by 33 per cent as the new academic session has been delayed due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
