The content will be based on the curriculum prescribed by the National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT), an autonomous organisation that advises the government on qualitative improvement in school education.
The NCERT has also been asked to form guidelines on schools reopening after lockdown.
The Council has also released alternative academic calendar for primary, upper primary and higher secondary classes. The calendar has list of suggested resources like reference to textbooks, chapters, themes, e-resources, web links etc. that teachers can refer to for designing contextual activities for students. It has week-wise plan consisting of interesting and challenging activities, with reference to theme/ chapter taken from syllabus or textbook. It also maps the themes with the learning outcomes to facilitate teachers/ parents to assess the progress in the learning of children and also to go beyond textbooks.
