The module will have two parts—first for students from class 3 to 8 and another one for students from class 9 to 12.
The education ministry is going to bring in modules on Operation Sindoor, astronaut Shubanshu Shukla, Chandrayaan as well as ISRO’s achievements for school children, senior ministry sources said. These modules, which are in addition to prescribed syllabus, will be brought in during the coming academic session.
The National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) has been tasked with coming up with these modules which will have 8-10 pages on each matter. One of these modules will be on the Pahalgam terror attack as well as Operation Sindoor, while another will be on the Chandrayan Mission.
“School children must know of India’s achievement in space, too. So modules will be developed on astronaut Shubanshu Shukla, on the strides ISRO has taken in the frontier of space,” a senior ministry official said.
The modules will be developed in two stages — one for classes 3 to 8 and another for class 9 to 12.
States asked to follow NCERT
The CBSE has written to States asking them to mandatorily follow text books of the NCERT for classes 9 to 12. It has also “strongly advised” States to follow textbooks of the NCERT or SCERT, and that schools may use supplementary material as per their requirement but that it must be aligned with the National Curriculum Framework.
