Overview

  • Stakeholders can submit detailed comments online or by post to SCERT by 5 pm on August 27, including the specific page, proposed change and rationale
  • The framework spans 20 subjects from regional and foreign languages to sciences and adds practical courses like vocational education, traffic safety, social work and civics
  • It adopts the NEP’s “5+3+3+4” structure based on the State Curriculum Framework 2024 to shift focus from rote learning toward real-world skills and civic values
  • Implementation of a third language has been deferred until Dr. Narendra Jadhav’s committee and the state government advise on the three-language policy
  • Curriculum updates for Classes 11 and 12 will follow once NCERT releases its final senior secondary framework
