SRINAGAR, Nov 22: A three-day workshop on ‘Review and Revision of Curriculum Mathematics Class II & III’ organized by JKBOSE concluded here today.
The workshop was conducted in the light of the analysis report of JKBOSE Textbooks by NCERT.
Experts Dr. Aaliya Qayoom, Assistant Director Academic JK BOSE; Dr. Arif Jan, Assistant Director Academics JK BOSE; Syed Fayaz, Academic Officer JK BOSE; Nazir Ahamd Mir, Lecturer HSS Bomai Sopore; Gulzar Ahamd Dar, Lecturer GHSS Magam and others participated and deliberated in the workshop and came out with the findings on mathematics textbooks of class 2nd and 3rd.
While speaking in the concluding session Dr. Farooq Ahmad Peer, Director Academics JKBOSE, said that the development of qualitative content material with its standards at par with national level remains the priority of JKBOSE.
He stated that the review of State level textbooks through an apex national level institute like NCERT is one of the steps to this direction.
He said that out of 37 Textbooks, reviewed by NCERT so far, the report of 31 was discussed threadbare in series of workshops organised by JKBOSE and necessary modifications were incorporated accordingly in the JKBOSE textbooks which are in vogue and the remaining six textbooks shall be reviewed and implemented from the academic session 2019-20.
He assured that the request shall be made to NCERT for the review of remaining 27 textbooks so as to ensure the standard of each textbook of the state is invariably at par with that of national level from next academic session.
