NCTB

Textbooks, curriculum and the politics of education

The new round of curricular reform and textbook re-writing has given rise to a spate of debate, pointing to different kinds of problems with the new initiative.

Opinion / The fight for ‘The Story of Sharifa’

It is no wonder how it took Bangladesh nearly half a century before legally acknowledging the Hijra community

When textbooks fall apart

Aren’t our students entitled to error-free, quality textbooks?

Girls are doing great in HSC, but what about the boys?

Putting aside the fanfare, the fact that boys are lagging behind girls in most school exams needs to be scrutinised carefully.

New school curriculum: A great opportunity or a looming disaster?

We may be witnessing a deja vu with the new curriculum.

The textbook debate: Managing the politics

Curriculum and textbook renewal is not and should not be something that has to start from scratch.

‘Textbooks cannot be made completely error-proof’

We need to think about how quickly and efficiently we can remove the errors and print the corrected versions.

Much left to be desired in the new school curriculum

The NCTB should have taken lessons from past failures with radical changes in textbooks.

Including reproductive health in the NCTB curriculum is a step in the right direction

The discussion of reproductive health is still considered a taboo in our society.

The inclusion of gender studies in our national curriculum is commendable

When faced with stereotypes that are completely ungrounded, we have to turn to our education system to talk about topics like gender studies.
