With an aim to impart quality education to the students in State-run schools, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said serious efforts should be made to introduce NCERT syllabus in Government schools immediately.
“Government is seriously trying to improve quality of education at the secondary and primary level and for that NCERT syllabus would be introduced from the next academic session,” Yogi said during a discussion on road map for transforming school education, State of Uttar Pradesh, here on Wednesday.
CM said that if UP students adopt NCERT syllabus this will give them an edge to compete in all-India level. More CBSE centres should be opened across the State and efforts should be made to reduce weight of school bags, he said.
He said enrollment of students in private schools is on the rise while the dropout rate in Government schools is going up. Time has come to arrest this trend because this is a reflection of parents’ loss of trust with the Government schools, he said. “The State Government has decided to incorporate the good and transparent schemes of other States. Officials have been asked to carry out a
study and come out with their suggestions at the earliest,” he said.
