Kerala CM reinstates deleted NCERT: On Wednesday, Pinarayi Vijayan, chief minister of Kerala, released additional SCERT (State Council for Educational Research and Training) textbooks. These new textbooks reinstate the subjects that were recently eliminated from NCERT textbooks.

The chief minister expressed his disagreement with the omission, stating, “In the name of rationalisation, significant modifications were made to the NCERT-prepared textbooks for the academic year 2023-24. Some chapters have been eliminated entirely due to the modification. Our government and state take this matter extremely seriously, as we believe the excluded chapters should never have been excluded.”

Regarding classes 11 and 12, the chief minister stated that NCERT provides 12 subjects and 44 textbooks. Students in these classes, he claimed, are exposed to textbooks influenced by vested interests. He also expressed concern about the impact on youthful minds, asking, “What is the risk? It will alter children’s perspectives on society and history. A generation devoid of humanity and filled with prejudices will be shaped. It will jeopardise our secular outlook and brotherhood.”

NCERT plans to provide new Maths textbook in 22 Indian languages

In response to NCERT’s intention to reduce the number of textbooks and rationalise their content, the chief minister cited a lack of transparency, stating, “They claim that such opinions are advanced by experts. Who these experts are, however, has not even been disclosed.”
