Publisher: National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT)
Description:
One mandate in the body of National Council for Educational Study and Training is to revise the national curriculum. It will follow up on this process and establish subject-wise syllabi and textbooks. This research did the same thing in 1975, 1988, 2000 and2005.
Curriculum and syllabi, make up broad standards and guidelines for school education. The government allows states and different schools to follow the grade school curriculum. The system is established as a national exercise involving instructors, departments, and other educational organisations. One of the last changes to the National Curriculum Framework-2005 (done in 2005) was to provide multiple panels or committees to provide input, create thoughts, debate and arrive at a point of consistency. In the past it was a complicated procedure to get textbooks accepted by the Ministry of Human Resource Development. (Correct enough, but they should use a simpler paraphrase to be more precise to the content they are attempting to communicate)
What is the difference between the two?
What sets the National Council on Educational Research and Training apart from others is its ability to think broadly and treat education in a special way. Learning in this case usually happens more by doing and less by halting or other major results on the end. The tasks and activities are structured to allow learners to do and explore along the way.
The physical layer element of the book is an added merit. Textbooks have a reduced pricing range from Rs. 25 to Rs. 50 today; only textbooks up to Class VIII cost above Rs. 50. The NCERT has a working model that is solely voluntary. As of May 10, 2018 that around a 19 school districts (Boards and SCERTs) have embraced or modified the texts. For people who want to follow these textbooks, they must give a written request to the NCERT, and a soft copy is sent. The content is produced in press-ready versions that can be used by individual States, and the States get a 5% royalty on the copies.
There is a fear that the legislation is too commercialised.
There are several problems involved with the development of textbooks, one of which is the commercialisation. When you remember the money parents spend for a textbook as well as the learning opportunities that come along with a textbook, I do not agree that the textbook suits the needs of the student. In virtually all the counties, the government offers free learning materials up to class VIII. Schools affiliated to the Central Board of Secondary Education use books published by private publishers for up to Class VIII. This is where commercialisation starts, for private publishers manufacture textbooks for all subjects and for fields like General Knowledge, Computer Literacy, Value Education. Different fields have been laid out in the programme to incorporate these subjects into math, physics, etc. This has an influence on the learning-teaching method.
Person out-of-the-box thought.
Private publishers produce textbooks that are high in price while NCERT textbooks are low in price. Publishing companies turn out to be a major money-maker. Many private publishers have an editor or a community of editors who are determined by the publisher's employees. In this case, approval is not granted to writers for whom to bring into their book.
The study is not suggesting that one textbook should suit all students. The National Education Framework-2005 supports getting more than one textbook. Another question is: “Is the textbook the full case?” However, it is just a small beginning, and will only be a launch pad. Teachers and learners should step outside the book to engage on the student outside and in the classroom. Teachers, schools, states, parents and the NCERT should carefully think about this matter.
