New Delhi: The NCERT India is aiming to revise and refine the Social Sciences curriculum. Michel Danino will lead a 35-member committee under the National Syllabus and Teaching Learning Material Committee (NSTC) and work on restructuring the Social Science curriculum for classes 6 to 12.

As per the notification from NCERT, the National Curriculum Framework for School Education (NCF-SE) was unveiled in August. This framework is intended to serve as a reference for crafting the curriculum and textbooks used in school education throughout the nation.

Furthermore, curriculum area groups operating under NSTC will be responsible for devising subject-specific curriculum and developing teaching-learning materials (TLMs), encompassing textbooks among other resources.
