For the upcoming academic session 2022-2023, NCERT (National Council of Educational Research and Training) is planning to cut back the syllabus and textbooks for all classes.
The pandemic has time and again, forced boards to reduce syllabus. CBSE reduced the syllabus by up to 30 percent for classes 9-12, for both previous academic sessions (2020-21 and 2021-22).
The council is revising the curriculum to bring it in line with the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020. NCERT is currently working on preparing textbooks that incorporate the proposed changes for publication for the academic session 2022-23.
Textbooks based on the National Curriculum Framework (NCF) will be introduced in the subsequent academic session, namely 2023-24.
