Raj govt schools syllabus to have chapters on mahapurush

To eliminate “cultural alienation”, Rajasthan has decided to introduce a syllabus from Class 1-12  in government schools from the next academic session, with a greater focus on lives of country’s ‘Mahapurush’ and history of the state.

The state government has planned to introduce a school syllabus that would include stories of various ‘Mahapurush’ (great leaders), moral science, country’s latest scientific development, ethos and history of Rajasthan, MoS for Education Vasudev Devnanai said.

A high-level State Institute of Educational Research and Training (SIERT) is doing the syllabus change for class 1-8, and another committee set up by Rajasthan Board of Secondary Education (RBSE) for syllabus reforms for class 9-12, Devnani said. 

Students must learn about ‘Mahapurush’ like Maharana Pratap, the Minister ,said adding the committee would stress that for Class 1-5 there should be 75% chapters from Rajasthan and 25 per cent chapters of national importance.
