NCERT Textbooks Revised As Per NEP, Likely To Be Introduced From 2024-25

MINISTRY of Education on Monday said that all the new NCERT books will be revised in accordance with the new National Education Policy (NEP) and will be introduced in schools from the 2024-25 academic session. The textbooks will be developed as per the National Curriculum Framework (NCF), said the education ministry.

"The new textbooks are likely to be introduced from the 2024-25 academic session. It is a tall task but we are aiming for that. The textbooks will be revised as per the new NCF, work on which is already going on," a senior MoE official said.

"Since COVID-19 has taught us that there is an appetite for digital learning, all the new textbooks will simultaneously be made available digitally so anybody can download them," he added.

Noting that textbooks should not be "static", the official said an institutional framework will be developed to ensure that the textbooks are updated on a regular basis.
