NCERT to revise CBSE syllabus for classes 3 and 6 from academic session 2024-25

The National Council of Education Research (NCERT) is preparing to release the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) Syllabus for Classes 3 and 6 by the recently announced National Curriculum Framework for School Education (NCF-SE) 2023.

As per the latest notification, the new curriculum will be in effect from the upcoming academic year 2024-25. In a letter outlining the plan to implement the changes, the NCERT notified the CBSE about the revision of the curriculum.

The notice stated that the updated syllabi would require changes to school timetables, highlighting the need to inform school heads, teachers, and parents about the recommended time allocation for classes 3 and 6. NCERT, CBSE, KVS, and NVS, supported by the Department of School Education and Literacy, are collaborating to achieve the goals set out in the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020. New textbooks that match the revised syllabi will soon be provided to schools affiliated with CBSE.

 The notice read, “We request that CBSE proactively communicate this development to their school heads, teachers, and parents. We advise this formulation of a strategy to engage students of Grades 3 and 6 in playful and activity-based learning at the start of the new academic year, ensuring a holistic environment that encompasses arts, physical education, well-being, skill education, and fresh insights into language, mathematics, science, environmental education, and social sciences.”
