The State will likely teach portions on the 2002 Gujarat riots and the Mughal period that had been dropped from Class 12 textbooks by the National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT).
The NCERT had conducted a syllabus rationalisation exercise for Classes 6 to 12 in the wake of COVID-19 and in tune with the National Education Policy.
However, unlike Classes 6 to 10 for which the State Council of Educational Research and Training (SCERT) brings out its own textbooks, in Classes 11 and 12, NCERT textbooks are taught for subjects such as History, Political Science, Economics, Geography, the Science subjects, and so on.
