SCERT adopts framework of Deshbhakti Curriculum – Education News
The Governing Council of the State Council of Educational Research and Training (SCERT), Delhi, chaired by Deputy CM Manish Sisodia on Friday adopted the framework of the Deshbhakti Curriculum.
The curriculum was announced during the 2021 Delhi Budget to “instil the spirit of patriotism and nationhood among every child studying in Delhi government schools and prepare them to be responsible citizens who shall contribute to nation-building”. The three primary goals of the curriculum are: “Love and pride for the nation, awareness of one’s responsibilities and duties, and commitment to make sacrifices for the country”.
The framework was presented by SCERT director Rajanish Kumar Singh, based on the recommendations of the Deshbhakti Curriculum Committee chaired by Dr Renu Bhatia, principal, Sarvodaya Kanya Vidyalaya Moti Bagh, and Sharda Kumari, former principal, DIET (District Institute of Education and Training) R K Puram. Talking about the vision of the curriculum, Sisodia said, “It is imperative that we bridge the gap between values and actions, and ensure that constitutional ideals of equality, fraternity and justice are practiced by children in their everyday lives.”
The Deshbhakti curriculum will be implemented in all government schools from the current academic session — in time for the 75th Independence Day.
