Schools have been advised to transition to these new materials, replacing NCERT-published textbooks until the year 2023

These initiatives are part of the larger framework outlined in the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020

As per CBSE, a bridge course for class 6 and concise guidelines for class 3 are in works to facilitate a smooth transition

These resources will be disseminated to all the schools online once they are received from NCERT

This development follows NCERT's rationalisation of syllabi for classes 6 to 12 in 2022, aimed at reducing the content load on students during Covid-19
