Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh criticized the government for the delay in publishing new Class 6 textbooks, accusing the Education Ministry of ‘sabotaging’ children’s education. He pointed out the delay in finalizing textbooks and the subsequent printing process, which will likely result in students receiving them two months late. Ramesh also condemned the ministry’s handling of the examination process through the National Testing Authority.
The National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) has revised textbooks for classes 11 and 12, leading to accusations of saffronization and manipulation of historical facts. Changes include replacing references to the Babri Masjid with ‘three-domed structure’ and altering descriptions of political events and figures. While the NCERT defends the revisions as updates and streamlining, critics argue they reflect a partisan agenda and undermine academic integrity.
The National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) has refuted claims made by the National Testing Agency (NTA) that questions in the NEET UG 2024 exam were out of syllabus. The controversy arises amid allegations of question paper leaks, irregularities, and protests across India.
The National Council of Education Research and Training (NCERT) has invited applications for various teacher education programs offered at its Regional Institutes of Education (RIEs) located in Ajmer, Bhopal, Bhubaneswar, Mysore, and Shillong. Aspiring candidates can apply online through NCERT’s official website, cee.ncert.gov.in, from April 30 to May 31, 2024.
