CBSE Revises Syllabus For The 2020-21 Academic Session

 

 


 

 The world has been struggling to battle the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic for almost a year now. As governments 

strive to manage and contain the disease's spread, a state of emergency and nationwide lockdowns have become 

the current norm. Schools have been closed since early last year, and students have suffered a loss of studies. 

Keeping these limitations in mind, and given the NCERT and various stakeholders' suggestions, the CBSE has 

rationalised the Grade 9-12 syllabus by 30% for the 2020-21 academic year.


The CBSE academy session has been severely disrupted. The board decided to compensate the students for the 

loss they suffered due to a reduction in classroom teaching, even though online classes are on. The CBSE has 

given guidelines to schools to ensure that the learning outcomes for the students remain unaffected. Here are 

the highlights:


  • All core concepts in various subjects have been retained in the revised syllabus

  • Teachers have to ensure these topics are suitably taught to students to enable them to use the 

    information while learning other topics

  • Deleted portions of the syllabus are to be excluded from all assessments 

  • Most activities are to be removed to devote maximum time to academics

  • Teachers have to use various technological and social media tools to connect with students and parents

  • Teachers have to keep children engaged and productive at home by assigning creative and meaningful 

    activities along with links to video and radio programmes as well as audiobooks 

  • Teachers have to be more empathetic and compassionate as some students may struggle with 

    depression


The Board feels these measures will help students feel less pressured and more equipped to plan their studies 

effectively.

How Many Hours Should a 3-Year-Old Go to Nursery School?

Image
    Most of the children start their preschool at 3 years of age. At this age, it is hard for them to sit for a  long period without their parents. They tend to stay for less time than the other students.  Almost every  nursery school provides 15 hours of schooling per week. The schedule may differ from  school to school. Some schools have a timing of three hours a day for five days, whereas some have  four hours a day for four days. These 15 hours are free as admission to nursery school, but if you want,  you can also pay for more hours and opt for daycare facilities offered in some schools. The teachers in  the school will take care of your child for that much time. Some parents have a busy schedule and don’t have much time to pick up their children at a specific  time and take care of them in the middle of work. This paid service, which is provided by many of the  schools, can help them to continue their work, without worrying about the children. But it is also not  good to keep yo
