On Monday, Prakash Javadekar made it quite clear that the government has no plans on introducing a common curriculum for CBSE and state boards. The reason behind this is that a uniform syllabus would not be able to take into account the local contexts, culture and language.
Regarding the same, Minister of State for HRD Upendra Kushwaha said that the proposal to formulate a national framework which highlights core values will be put forward. Some of these core values are:
- History of the freedom movement
- Constitutional movements
Few states have already welcomed this national framework.
