The National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) on Thursday said it has dropped chapters on Periodic Classification of Element, Democracy, political parties (full page) and Challenges to Democracy from class 10 textbooks "to reduce the content load on students in view of the Covid pandemic".


The three topics deleted from the science textbook are Periodic Classification of Elements, Sources of Energy and Sustainable Management of Natural resources.


The NCERT had said that the decision to cut chapters was taken as it was "imperative to reduce the load on students in light of the coronavirus pandemic".

"Difficulty level, overlapping content, and content irrelevant in the present context" are some of the reasons listed by NCERT for dropping these chapters from the curriculum.

Meanwhile, students on social media celebrated NCERT’s decision via memes.
