The Tripura government has decided to do away with the school syllabus introduced by the previous Left Front regime and instead follow the curriculum on the CBSE pattern.
Information about the change of school syllabus from the next academic session was given to the Assembly by Education Minister Ratan Lal Nath on Friday.
He said students would be taught from National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) textbooks.
“The government would introduce NCERT textbooks and CBSE syllabus from the next academic session in place of the present curriculum prescribed by the State Council of Educational Research and Training,” Mr. Nath said.
A team of NCERT experts is scheduled to arrive here on December 3 to impart a three-month-long training to teachers about the new syllabus, he added.
“We shall introduce complete NCERT textbooks and CBSE syllabus from next academic year, because the students in our State are lagging behind the standard of the country. We want them to be as competitive as students of other States,” Mr. Nath said.
