NCERT New Textbooks: Before implementing the new curriculum and textbooks, NCERT advises educators to make sure that students' necessary knowledge is sufficient

The National Council of Educational Research and Training has released new print and digital textbooks for Classes 1 to 8. These updated books align with the National Curriculum Framework for School Education 2023 and are part of the National Education Policy 2020.

NCERT stated that the revised textbooks across all subjects and levels have been developed in accordance with the NCF-SE 2023 guidelines. The aim of this initiative is to make education more engaging, relevant, and better suited to future needs.

Textbooks for Class 9 are currently under development and will be introduced from the 2026–27 academic session. Meanwhile, draft syllabi for Class 9 have been uploaded on NCERT’s official website for feedback from stakeholders.

NCERT has advised teachers to ensure that students’ foundational learning is properly addressed before transitioning to the new syllabus and textbooks.

The council also announced that new textbooks for Classes 10 and 11 will be introduced from the 2027–28 academic session. Until then, existing textbooks will continue to be used during the 2026–27 academic year.

NCERT has urged all stakeholders to take note of these changes and ensure a smooth transition, describing the revision as a step towards competency-based and learner-centric education.
