SHORT DESCRIPTION:

The National Curriculum Framework (NCF) -2005 initiated a new phase of development of syllabus and textbook for all stages of school education. Conscious effort has been made to discourage rote learning and to diffuse sharp boundaries between different subject areas. This is well in tune with NPE-1986 and Learning without Burden 1993 that recommend child-centred system of education. The textbook for Classes VI, VII and VIII were released respectively in 2006, 2007 and 2008. Overall the books have been well-received by students and teachers.
