Education Minister Ranoj Pegu said that the schools in the state would start their 2024–25 academic session as per the National Curriculum Framework for School Education (NCF-SE) under NEP-2020.
This decision was made to cut back on the amount of material covered in class because of the significance of students' health both during and after the COVID-19 pandemic, NCERT said in a statement
"The rationalised textbooks are part of this transitional phase, i.e., this academic year 2023-24 only, as NCERT is engaged in the process of finalising the National Curriculum Framework for School Education (NCF-SE) based on NEP 2020," read NCERT statement.
