The document summarizes the report titled "Learning Without Burden" submitted by the Yashpal Committee to the Indian government in 1993. The committee, chaired by Professor Yashpal, studied the prevalent school curricula and textbooks in India. The report identified several problems with the curriculum load on students, including joyless learning, an excessive focus on examinations, and treating textbooks as the sole source of truth. It also examined the roots of these problems, such as the isolation of experts developing curricula from classroom realities. The report recommended greater involvement of teachers in curriculum development and reducing homework and tests for young students.
