Pfft. Soon India will become a country of brainwashed idiots. Lol. Don't blame me for laughing, blame the khakhi chaddi gang who are thought to be the mastermind behind this stupid idea and the current government for putting that stupid idea to reality.
 
Despite relying on expert committees to oversee the changes, NCERT has not engaged with parents and teachers to explain the rationale behind these modifications. The lack of response from NCERT and the absence of public comments on the matter have further fueled concerns regarding the reasoning behind these decisions.
Until there is an official response there is nothing more to comment. And there is a petition in the process
 
I know this is OT, but today NCERT announced that they are dropping the periodic table, chapters on democracy and environmental sustainability from its books/syllabus.
India will be the next generation of pseudoscientific idiots, subdued as well as riled up by political whims. I've zero optimism for this country now that education is a clear target.
I missed - chapters on evolution have also been cut off. GG govt.
This comment belongs here.

People have already stated waxing eloquently about it. But I'm waiting for official answers

NCERT removes evolution and periodic table from textbooks.​

This title is misleading and false.

What they have done is removed it from class 9 and 10 and shifted it to class 11. Ostensibly to help with the rationalisation of the education system that will rely more on enquiry than learning by rote.

Course if you don't enter the science stream you will never learn about it.

Evolution doesn't need a degree in biology. It's literally an accepted theory of human and other races. There's no point in pushing this to 11th. You want rational thinking from an early age.
Our govt wants pseudoscience. Look at what they want to do with doctors finishing MBBS.

Nobody is arguing against this.

No, it's the people that demand it.

Interestingly this did not translate into vaccine hesitancy as it did abroad with covid. Doesn't the govt brag it inoculated a billion twice over :)
Blame this society for that. My doctor mentioned this to me over a decade ago. There were people offering remedies that were booked out weeks in advance. In spite of not being allopathic they at times prescribed such medicines which he objected to or considered a contradiction. He'd treated people who had come from other schools of thought.

I could get an appointment with him within 24h. These other doctors, heh, join the line. People in this country have had more faith in natural, ayurvedic, or anything else than allopathic since forever. That is the culture of this country. They think modern medicine is a scam. Only money-making business and lost its empathy. This means other methods are cheaper if more time-consuming. Hence popular for the sake of cost avoidance.

Let that sink in

Think about the words placebo and nocebo. Why do they exist? Does the mind have some bearing on well-being? Science cannot figure out the connection and says its all a load of bunk

That is not how people in this country think. And the surprising thing is I'm referring to otherwise educated people who will go out of their way to find a doc with a system, get in line and put in as much time as it takes to make that system work.

I'd developed this ache in my back. Some people told me oh this will never go away and it will take time and you have to do this and bloody that. I went to my doc, he put me on some meds, the pain was gone in a week and ten years later never returned. I always rub this into the people who told me that.

It is easier to rule and control morons. Happens everywhere, through out history.

The thing with "Survival of the fittest" is that those who don't adapt die. This is the other side of the coin that never gets talked about. You don't believe in scientific medicine? Ok, don't go to hospitals and feel free to keel over. Also please give up all modern inventions that science has provided.

H He Li Be ; what's this world coming too. Can still recite off the first 20, circa 90s. Will the woke offspring need all this....
 
The rationalization of NCERT textbooks done in 2021-22 was a need-based exercise aimed at reducing the content load, keeping in view the students mental health during the COVID pandemic and its aftermath
The rationalized textbooks are part of this transitional phase, i.e. this academic year 2023-24 only, as NCERT is engaged in the process of finalising the National Curricular Framework for School Education (NCF-SE) based on NEP 2020. This will be followed by the development of a new set of textbooks which will be used from the next academic year. So, this should be very clear that these books are not for a long time

They can reduce the burden further by reducing the exam duration to 1 hour instead of 3. Give less questions to answer and more marks. Instead of one full page answer getting just 5 marks why not make it 15? Or just make every thing online with randomised multiple choice questions and answers so dumb idiots don't copy others answers.
 
NCERT removed a fundamental aspect (theory of evolution) of science to ease the load on students' mental health? Lol ok.
From class 9 & 10. When you say removed it means gone completely. That's not the case
Not sure if anyone other than bhakts would buy this crap reason.
We have not been given an official reason as to why this or that topic is removed

But the opposition is free to make hay with it.

Hi buddy, I'm not sure why everything should be about opposition/anti national etc. We're not opposition, We're citizens of this country and from last few years our all concerns, all genuine queries has been destroyed with some bullshit crap.

Tell that to people who use terms like bhakts. Who are they?
 
Bhakt is divine word. Chaddi gang is more suitable.
This is why I use the correct term opposition. Which is anyone and everyone that has a problem with the govt unless I know them to be otherwise.

I consider the biggest critics to be from supporters btw. Insiders. Not opposition. Good luck defending against those guys, many of which are legit arguments


For example

Ranga is always good for a discussion but without official answers, it's all academic

Did he say removed or : eliminated, banned, deleted, etc?

No need, we know why lol

B logic can't differentiate between anti-policy and anti-national. "If you don't blindly support us no matter how retarded it might be, you are a traitor"... Perhaps that's a requirement for joining the C gang.
