2. INTRODUCTION
In India, the central government establishes
Board Education Policies for school
curriculum development and management
policies. These serve as guidelines for the
states.
3. INTRODUCTION
Education in India is provided by the public sector,
private sector, with control and funding coming from
three levels – Central, State and Local. Though the
curriculum at school level is decided basically by the
state government, there is flexibility to adopt the
curriculum at state, local and school levels.
5. In developing a society, first, the school curriculum
particularly in higher education must be developed to
preserve the country’s national identity and to ensure its
economy’s growth and stability. The nation has its role
in providing education to its citizens. It is the
responsibility of the Nation to frame an effective
curriculum for its students for effective learning and to
their bright future.
6. Curriculum at national level is a common
program of study in schools that is designed
to ensure nationwide uniformity of content
and standards in education. It is usually
legislated by the national government,
possibly in consultation with state or other
regional authorities.
7. The national curriculum is a set of subjects
and standards used by primary and
secondary schools. It covers what subjects
are taught and the standards children should
reach in each subject.
8. National Council of Educational Research and
Training [NCERT] is the apex body that looks
after curriculum-related matters for school
education across India. The NCERT provides
support, guidance, and technical assistance to a
number of schools in India in many aspects of
enforcement of education policies.

22. In developing a society, first, the school curriculum
particularly in higher education must be developed to
preserve the country’s national identity and to ensure its
economy’s growth and stability. The nation has its role
in providing education to its citizens. It is the
responsibility of the Nation to frame an effective
curriculum for its students for effective learning and to
their bright future.
23. Curriculum at state level defines what
students should know and be able to do at
each grade level in their content areas –
Languages, Science, Social Sciences, Physical
Education, Technology education,
Mathematics are studied.
24. The curriculum should align with content
standards and assessment programme.
Objectives of curriculum provide teachers
with very clear information about what
specific learning should occur. States frame
their own curriculum based on National
Curriculum framework.
25. The States are heavily involved in the
establishment, selection, and regulation of
curriculum, teaching methods, and
instructional material in their schools.
Consequently, each state has different
standards and policies which may impact the
quality of education offered.
26. State governments have insight into the kinds
of skills that are useful to the local economy
and can often recommend specific classroom
materials. An important consideration is the
age, maturity and sophistication of the
students to which educational materials are to
be prevailed. It especially takes care of the
cultural settings of the state.
28. States are responsible for developing
curriculum frameworks. The term is used
here to mean a set of statements guiding the
standards for and development of curricula,
along with a general description of the
state’s assessment program. Broad goals
should be kept in mind
29. States are responsible for and implementing
tests and other performance measures.A
limited approach is best, states should focus
their assessment efforts on the subject areas
of languages, Science, Mathematics, Arts etc.
30. Assessment should be limited to three
transition points grades 5,8, and 12, such a
limited approach would give the state
officials, district leaders, public, sufficient
information to make major decisions without
devoting too much time and energy to
testing.
31. The state should provide school districts
with the resources needed to develop and
implement high-quality curricula. Adequate
fiscal resources and effective technical
assistance seem to be the most important
33. It should be aligned with
expectations
It should be clear,
understandable and
consistent.
Standard to be followed by state
The content and application
of knowledge should be
assessed by higher-order
skills.
It should be built upon
strengths and current state
standards.
35. The National Council of Educational
Research and Training (NCERT) maintains a
network of field offices to keep a close
liaison with State Government. At present,
these offices have been established in
different States and Union territories.
36. State Council of Educational Research and
Training (SCERT) is one of these offices. It
came into existence on 5th January 1979 as a
result of transformation and upgradation of
the former State Institute of Education
(SIE).
37. State Council for Educational Research
and Training (SCERT) is an apex body,
responsible for quality education in the
state. It is entrusted with planning,
implementation and evaluation of all
academic programs from pre-school to
higher secondary levels.
38. SCERT is concerned with academic
aspects of school education including
formulation of curriculum, preparation
of textbooks, teacher’s handbooks and
teacher training. It advises the
Government on policy matters relating
to school education.

reproduction. This image assumes that the
school curriculum should be directly linked to
the cultural aspects and it should reflect the
culture within the school, community, and the
broader society focusing on productive and
meaningful learning experiences through
curriculum
72. the curriculum should be learner-centered
with school being a place where students
would be acquiring various skills, building self-
concept, a sense of enterprise, aesthetic
sensibilities, and sportsmanship.
73. To foster core competencies in learners, the
curriculum encompasses seven major learning
areas from scholastic and co-scholastic points
of view. Scholastic—— Languages, Social
Sciences, Mathematics and Science. Co-
Scholastic—— Work Education, Art Education,
Health and Physical Education.
82. A classroom curriculum can be described as the
teaching and learning that takes place in
classrooms and other educational settings. At the
heart of the classroom curriculum are teachers’
decisions based on evidence about student
learning and effective practice.

lessons and academic content taught in a
school or in a specific course or program.

learning outcomes, standards, and core
competencies that students must

85. The Classroom curriculum reassures students
that they are on right track to reach their
goals and achieving desired skills.
86. Thus, classroom curriculum determines how
to teach a subject and sequence concepts to
be taught in such a way that it flows, hand-on
classroom activities can be integral to any
subject, which enhances students’
experiences.
87. Some important questions related

given?

to help my students to learn?
