CBSE to be ready with rationalised curriculum within a month, says board chairman

NEW DELHI: The Central board of Secondary Education (CBSE) is working on rationalising the curriculum to make up for academic loss caused by COVID-19 pandemic and the reduced syllabus will be ready in a month’s time, board chairman Manoj Ahuja said on Friday.

“We cannot bring sudden changes in the education system and create confusion and uncertainty. The curriculum reforms are going to be in sync with the learning outcomes,” he said during a virtual conference on ‘Future of Schools: Overcoming COVID-19 challenge and beyond’ organsied by Ashoka University.

“We are rationalising the curriculum. We plan to retain the core elements, which are very unnecessary in terms of learning outcomes,” he added. (AGENCIES)
