The new textbooks will be more competency-based, which will allow students to think and apply the concepts… The textbooks for Classes I and II will be launched by end of this month

The education ministry plans to introduce textbooks (at all levels) under the new National Curriculum Framework (NCF) by 2024-25. These books will be also available in regional languages and on the digital platform as well, News18 has learnt.

According to officials, the new textbooks will be competency-based and more activity-oriented. “We have asked the National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT), which is developing these books, to keep the approach more competency-based, which prompts students to think and apply the concepts learned,” a top official said.

The NCF for foundational stage (3-8 years) was launched by union education minister Dharmendra Pradhan on October 20 last year, which in line with the new National Education Policy (NEP) focused on toy-based learning for this age-group.

The overall NCF for middle and secondary levels (up to class 12) is under development and is likely to be launched by the end of this year.

The National Steering Committee headed by K Kasturirangan, which is developing the overall NCF, met on Monday to review the learning material for Classes I and II. Last month, Pradhan had Jadui Pitara, toy-based learning material for children in 0-6 age-group.

“The textbooks for Classes I and II are almost done and will be launched by end of this month," the official said.

All new textbooks (at all levels) will also be published in regional languages under schedule VIII, the official added.

There are 13 major languages under it. Studying in mother tongue or ‘home language’, especially for children in the foundational stages is the main focus of the NEP, which reflects in the NCFs as well.

“The books will simultaneously be launched on the digital platform (DIKSHA) of the ministry as well. The Covid pandemic has taught us the reach and power of digital learning. Also, we are creating an institutional framework that NCERT books are updated regularly, so much so that it keeps in sync with new developments,” the official said.

The FDA staff made the conclusion in briefing documents ahead of a meeting on Thursday when a panel of external advisors to the agency will discuss whether to recommend full approval of the RSV shot . The advisors will vote on whether Pfizer's late-stage clinical trial data on the vaccine supports its safety and efficacy. The FDA typically follows the advice of its advisory committees, but is not required to do so. The agency is slated to make a decision on whether to clear the shot in August before RSV season in the fall. If approved, Pfizer's jab would become the world's first vaccine that protects infants against RSV.  RSV usually causes mild, cold-like symptoms. But infants and older ad...

Casemiro has improved Man Utd: Maguire | The Express Tribune

[ad_1] LONDON: Casemiro scored twice as Manchester United turned on the style to beat 10-man Reading 3-1 and reach the FA Cup fifth round on Saturday as Tottenham forward Son Heung-min ended his recent goal drought. On a day lacking major shocks, there were wins for Premier League strugglers Leeds, Leicester and Southampton but Fulham were held by Championship side Sunderland. United – fourth in the Premier League and within touching distance of a place in the League Cup final – produced more compelling evidence they are back on track under new manager Erik ten Hag . The home side took the lead at Old Trafford in the 54th minute when Anthony produced a defence-splitting pass to find Brazil teammate Casemiro, who lifted the ball over goalkeeper Joe Lumley. Four minutes later United were two up, when Casemiro let fly with a stunning strike from outside the box to find the bottom corner. With the home side brimming with confidence, substitute Fred produced an audacious flic...
