Experts shocked as NCERT removes periodic table, evolution from school textbooks

Despite relying on expert committees to oversee the changes, NCERT has not engaged with parents and teachers to explain the rationale behind these changes

Pfft. Soon India will become a country of brainwashed idiots. Lol. Don't blame me for laughing, blame the khakhi chaddi gang who are thought to be the mastermind behind this stupid idea and the current government for putting that stupid idea to reality.

Despite relying on expert committees to oversee the changes, NCERT has not engaged with parents and teachers to explain the rationale behind these modifications. The lack of response from NCERT and the absence of public comments on the matter have further fueled concerns regarding the reasoning behind these decisions.

Until there is an official response there is nothing more to comment. And there is a petition in the process

I know this is OT, but today NCERT announced that they are dropping the periodic table, chapters on democracy and environmental sustainability from its books/syllabus.
India will be the next generation of pseudoscientific idiots, subdued as well as riled up by political whims. I've zero optimism for this country now that education is a clear target.
I missed - chapters on evolution have also been cut off. GG govt.

People have already stated waxing eloquently about it. But I'm waiting for official answers

This title is misleading and false.

What they have done is removed it from class 9 and 10 and shifted it to class 11. Ostensibly to help with the rationalisation of the education system that will rely more on enquiry than learning by rote.

Course if you don't enter the science stream you will never learn about it.

Evolution doesn't need a degree in biology. It's literally an accepted theory of human and other races. There's no point in pushing this to 11th. You want rational thinking from an early age.
Our govt wants pseudoscience. Look at what they want to do with doctors finishing MBBS.
