NCERT drops chapters on de ocracy, periodic table from class 10 textbooks

印度国家教育研究与培训委员会删除了十年级教科书中的元素周期表

NEW DELHI: The National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) on Thursday said it has dropped chapters on Periodic Classification of Element, Democracy, political parties (full page) and Challenges to Democracy from class 10 textbooks "to reduce the content load on students in view of the Covid pandemic".

The three topics deleted from the science textbook are Periodic Classification of Elements, Sources of Energy and Sustainable Management of Natural resources.

In the Social Studies textbook, three chapters from Democratic Politics-1 have been dropped including Popular Struggles and Movements, Political Parties and Challenges to Democracy.

Students can still learn about these subjects, but only if they opt for the relevant subject in class 11 and 12.

新德里：印度国家教育研究与培训委员会(NCERT)周四表示，为了减轻学生的学业负担，已从10级教科书中删除了关于元素周期表、皿煮、政党(整页)的章节。

从科学教科书中删除的三个主题是元素周期表、能源来源和自然资源的可持续性。

在社会教科书中，删除了《政治1》中的“国民斗争和运动”、“政党”等3个章节。

学生们仍可学习到这些内容，但前提是他们选读了11年级和12年级的相关科目。

The NCERT also recently decided to remove the Theory of Biological Evolution from the class 10 curriculum. The move was widely criticised by experts.

The NCERT had said that the decision to cut chapters was taken as it was "imperative to reduce the load on students in light of the coronavirus pandemic".

"Difficulty level, overlap content, and content irrelevant in the present context" are some of the reasons listed by NCERT for drop these chapters from the curriculum.

Some other topics that have already been axed citing the need for reducing content-load include chapters on Fibre and Fabrics in classes VI, VII and VIII, and a chapter in the history textbook of class VI that had a reference to Mahatma Gandhi and the charkha.

A chapter in the class IX science textbook 'Why do we fall ill', has also been deleted.

The chapter introduces students to viruses and air-borne diseases such as Covid-19.

NCERT最近还决定从10年级课本中删除生物进化论。这一举动招致了专家的广泛批评。

NCERT表示，之所以决定删减章节，是因为“新冠疫情严重，必须减轻学生的负担”。

NCERT列出了删除这些章节的一些原因：“难度过高、内容重复、内容和现行教材无关”。

还有一些被删除的内容包括六、七、八年级关于纤维和织物的章节，以及六年级历史教科书中对圣雄甘地和查卡的介绍。

九年级科学教科书中的“我们为什么会生病”也被删除了。

这一章的内容是为学生介绍病毒和空气传播类疾病，如Covid-19。

以下是印度时报读者的评论：

这些内容被挪到了11和12年级的教材中。有什么好大惊小怪的。你有看完整则新闻吗？

你可以搜索一下——VADAKAYIL说，主流媒体、美国、北约和联合国审查过塞尔维亚总统米洛舍维奇被前南斯拉夫问题国际刑事法庭免罪的新闻，南斯拉夫被轰炸78天的事实转移了人们对比尔·克林顿和莫妮卡·莱温斯基性丑闻的注意力

Overload of courses dilutes the learning. It would be better to include a single course on history of freedom struggle. This single course can cover gandhi, political thought, turning points, and post independence. Provide a link to North South dynasties during Mughal and British era.

课程内容太多，影响了学习效果。最好就只开设一门关于自由斗争历史的课程。这个课程可以涵盖甘地，政治思想，转折点和印度独立后的历史。让学生了解莫卧儿王朝和英国时代南北王朝的联系。

It is simple, when the 4000 year old Chola Dynasty is inaugurated and their King has been crowned, how come the current education system can be continued? Wait for some more time, all the school and college books will be edited heavily to match our four Vedas and Manusmriti too.

这很简单，如果有着4000年历史的Chola王朝揭牌，国王加冕，现在的教育制度要如何维系？再等一段时间，所有的学校和大学课本都会被重新编撰，迎合我们的四本吠陀经和手抄本。

Democracy would be fun when I see a Pampered Prince becomes a proud tea seller.

如果一个养尊处优的王子变成自豪的茶贩子，皿煮肯定会很有趣。

Instead of rot learning in school level, let the children study in detail at 11 & 12th standards in their preferred stream.

与其在学校里学习糟粕，不如让孩子们在他们喜欢的课程中学习11年级和12年级的内容。

Obviously with supreme leader in charge chapters on de ocracy are not acceptable. New Kim Jong Un of India.

显然，在印度最高领导人的领导下，皿煮的内容是不能出现的。这不正是印度的金正恩嘛。

Reduce the burden fine, but please teach the minimum to students and parents both. That Democracy ≠ Freebies Periodic table ≠ Alcohol

减轻学习负担是好事，但学生和家长还是多少得学点。皿煮、元素周期表和酒精。

three years of lockdown has ruined careers of many children.being a tutor myself I can vouch class 6 students of govt.schools have forgotten the simplest of English words. we have to start afresh with them. the education department has to redesign the course all togather.

三年封控毁了许多孩子的前途。作为一名家庭教师，我敢说公立学校6年级学生连最简单的英语单词都忘光了。我们得帮他们重头学一遍。教育部门必须重新设计课程了。

Comments:,The reasons quoted by NCERT to drop the chapters mentioned in the news, do not look convincing. The level of our leaders has gone down too much, bringing de ocracy to questionable level.,The true de ocracy is serving people selflessly , but it is just the reverse these days, and hence has become the main reason for conflicts and criticism and counter criticis

评论：NCERT所谓的删节教材章节的理由无法令人信服。我们领导人的水平实在退步太多，印度的皿煮因此令人质疑。真正的皿煮应该是无私地为人民服务，但现在恰恰相反，导致了冲突、批评和反驳

next de ocracy word has been omitted from the dictionary.

下一步，皿煮这个词也会从字典中删除。

acsess tester• 4 days ago

Some people are going so crazy about an article as if they are big scientists and champion of de ocracy and about to lose their jobs. Even with all the memorization of periodic tables, do you know how many elements are in your smart phone? Can you make your own smart phones in a country of 1.45 Billion? Get back to your work!

有些人对一篇文章如此疯狂，就好像他们是大科学家和皿煮的捍卫者，他们的工作受到严重挑战。即使你熟记元素周期表，你知道你的智能手机里用到了多少元素吗？你能在这个拥有14.5亿人口的国家生产自己的智能手机吗？回去做事吧！

IndianStudent• acsess tester • 4 days ago

OK I searched American Chemical society information, it says at least 70 elements are found in smartphones. Now how would these news readers know that? That is too much to ask from people who are contented with Bollywood and whatsApp.

我搜索了美国化学会的信息，上面说智能手机中至少有70种元素。这些新闻读者怎么可能知道？对那些只知道刷宝莱坞电影和whatsApp的人来说，这个要求着实离谱了。

IndianStudent• acsess tester • 4 days ago

True but too harsh. I think over 75 elements are used in average smartphones. Of course I am an M Tech student at IIT, you are asking tough questions to people who just want free food from Democracy and free wifi from scientists. They would not know. Why insult them? Thanks anyway.

这是一个残酷的真相。我认为普通智能手机中使用的元素超过75个。当然，我是印度理工学院的学生，你问那些只想从皿煮制度蹭点免费食品、从科学家那里蹭到免费wifi的人，他们肯定不知道。为什么要侮辱他们呢？谢谢您咧。

acsess tester• IndianStudent • 4 days ago

You are right! Average smartphones have about 70 elements, mostly in compound form.

你说得对！普通智能手机大约有70个元素，大多数是以复合形式存在。
