School Education: NCERT syllabus is going to change again; Children will now know the history of military heroes
School Education: The National Council of Educational Research and Training, or NCERT, decided earlier this year to include chapters in its curriculum on the sacrifices and lives of three outstanding military figures: Major Somnath Sharma, Brigadier Mohammad Usman, and Field Marshal Sam Manekshaw. Its goal is to instill in the kids moral principles like bravery, responsibility, and selflessness. Students will get a deeper understanding of military history as a result.
Major Somnath Sharma will be taught in Class VIII (English), Field Marshal Manekshaw in Class VIII (Urdu), and Brigadier Usman in Class VII (Urdu). The Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Defense, and NCERT worked together to take this action. Additionally, the National War Memorial is now included in the NCERT curriculum. In addition to teaching pupils about military bravery, this program will foster in them a feeling of national pride, compassion, emotional intelligence, and a sense of duty to the country.
