The Delhi Education Department mandates recognized private schools use only NCERT or SCERT textbooks for elementary classes, per the RTE Act 2009. This prevents
The Delhi Education Department has issued a strict directive to all recognized private schools, prohibiting textbooks for elementary classes that are not prescribed by the National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) or the State Council of Educational Research and Training (SCERT). This mandate ensures compliance with the Right to Education (RTE) Act 2009.
According to the directions, schools that require students to study texts not on the specified list of NCERT or SCERT will be in breach of the RTE Act.
The directive underscores that no child should face discrimination, harassment, or neglect for using books approved by the academic authorities. Violating these guidelines, which causes ‘mental or physical suffering’ to students, could invoke the provisions of the Juvenile Justice Act 2015.
The education department has instructed schools to prominently display these directions on their websites and noticeboards. Additionally, schools must circulate copies of the directive among parents to ensure widespread awareness.
Heads of schools are further directed to disseminate this information to all students, parents, and members of the school’s managing committee, reinforcing the commitment to a uniform educational standard and the well-being of students.
