Answer 1

Revised Plus Two syllabus: more deletions in science texts

CHENNAI: The Textbook Development Committee, constituted to go into the revision of textbooks for Plus One and Plus Two, has recommended more deletions in science texts and very few deletions in Tamil and English.

While only two deletions — one each in poetry and prose — have been suggested for the first year Tamil text, only one deletion — Lesson IV-Alice Meets Humpty Dumpty — will be made in the English text for the year. New lessons in place of the deleted ones will be given in the revised edition in 2007, the report, submitted by committee chairman and State Planning Commission vice chairman M. Naganathan to the State Education Department on Thursday, has said.

On the other hand, substantial chunks in chapters II, IV, VI, VII and IX have been deleted in the mathematics text and in both volumes of the physics text. Deletions have also been recommended in the chapters on chemical calculations, metallurgy, atomic structure and periodic classification in volume I of the chemistry text and the chapters on chemical bonding, thermodynamics, chemical equilibrium etc in volume II.

The botany and bio-botany texts have undergone more deletions than the zoology and bio-zoology texts.

Similar trends are observed in deletions in the second year texts too, with only one deletion each in the poetry and prose sections in Tamil and only one lesson, The Magic of Words, deleted in English.

In the mathematics text, the committee has specified which portions are to be left out of descriptive type questions and which may be used for objective type questions. It has also earmarked certain portions as `not to be asked for examinations.'

Similarly, while substantial portions in both volumes of the physics text will be deleted, the chemistry text too has undergone major deletions. There are, however, no deletions recommended in the botany and bio-botany texts for the second year.

The committee has recommended that the new textbooks, with the appropriate alterations and deletions, be released for the year 2007-2008.

The deletions in all texts will be made posted online at www.tn.gov.in/schoolsyllabus from December 5.

Uniform syllabus move leaves matriculation schools in a fix

TIRUCHI: Matriculation schools are in a quandary: They are unable to place orders for textbooks with private publishers following the State Government's move to enforce a uniform syllabus.

With the Directorate of School Education indicating that the uniform syllabus is likely to come into force from the next academic year, the matriculation schools, it appears, will have to procure books under the new pattern from the Tamil Nadu Textbook Society, as government schools do.

Though the matriculation schools unanimously argue that the move is "ill-conceived," they are not desperate, since they believe that the crux of the matter lies in the delivery mechanism, and not in the syllabus.

They cite the instance of students thronging private schools for higher secondary education, though the syllabus is common under all patterns, barring the Central Board for Secondary Education (CBSE).

Even as the matriculation schools are bracing for the eventuality, the view gaining ground among academics is that against the backdrop of globalisation and a competitive post-school scenario, striking a middle line for enforcing uniformity in syllabus could turn counter-productive.

For, it not only means regression in the form of dilution of syllabus for the matriculation pattern but also will reflect in the enhancement of the existing standard under the State Board pattern. As a result, the number of dropouts, especially in rural areas, will increase manifold. Rural schools are already grappling with the problem, headmasters acknowledge.
