government. critics say that this is the police as eyes ation of textbooks. what do you say? please wait in a comment section on youtube is life with us to day 3 guessing india in new daddy's 1st stage as well. a journalist who's been writing about india's textbook revisions for out is era in virginia valdez. buzz fence, oregon t a profess of chemistry at s r. m university. and implicitly sedans to co shake found of the young india foundation. good to have the overhead guess. i am going to start with a statistics that will make 2 stops and pools, so youngsters age 12 to $18.00. so that's cause the 6 to 1230 percent of the syllabus this year. has this kid. now the process of coming back on

the social skill, it's good, excuse me, school syllabus. it's been, it's happened since the pandemic and last year, the material for the policy, it was removed to help the children kind of catch up because they, for them behind tricity is now i, i reference a couple of things that will be in the syllabus. us against is at the moment what has gone and has cause control for c to um, you know, actually it's not just the, the seo that we have seen division in syllabus. but it is happening for quite some time, especially after queen b on woods. initially what they did was that they made subjects like democracy or um on the other important subjects, which is, which is related to india as most and fast. they made it optional for students to study like it was not tested in the examination, but it was still in the textbooks. however, after the cool within they make in the me,

most nationalization the even pause due to some of the textbooks. and even though the, for the degree to the list of material that was moved in the name of national nation, but they have been so didn't remove those, which is not even listed to the public domain. one means um, mahatma gandhi was the father of indian nation. the information about his assassin was not listed in the nationalist dash and irish next essays. similarly in y'all's, 1st education is to him on, on, on, uh, his name's, have been removed in the textbooks. it was also not listed in the national migration exercise. so a lot of changes have been ad talk, a lot of changes have been announced. and that even gives it a bit of chevy. i think if they have to do it, if there is a process, why the people who are consulted can to give us the name of scientists or educate those who have the commander that evolution shouldn't be removed. again to give us

the names of people who have the commended that pediatric gaming should be removed from the curriculum, but they are not able to produce any of these things. they don't say that yes, this is for learning down the board and all students to how she was offended me. but again, there's not enough beat in that argument checking to sit on, show how a student's bearing off the pandemic. this started in 2020 an hour, 2023. what has that down to a student population, housing managing to study to? yes. i mean, absolutely. so i'm actually about 500 yards away. right next door to a cbs, the school that i have, you know, growing acquainted for, since, you know, being brought up here in the summer, even in, in the winters. but the thing is, it's not just a post pandemic thing. this issue of the burden of trying to memorize and understand a breast of information and not to actually digest it. but the method of

regurgitation has been, you know, and suing. and there have been so many players and stakeholders have been trying to bring reform to this that i think would be any be 2020 that came into kind of version after several years of kind of back and forth in this, in gauging with stakeholders. one of the biggest push was to decrease that mental workload that the students at a very young age had been facing not just now, not just after 2019 or 2014, but consistently. and one of the things that you know, that we understood was, is that most of the practitioners on ground. so i spoke with the principal of the school next door, right before this interview in the morning. and it's summer vacations right now, but they're prepping for next years. yeah. 2 really big things came out. what was that? why is the controversy? and i was like, what do you mean? it's all over the news. it's like, but as practitioners we've been going through this for the past 2025 years,

he's been teaching at the school and now at the administrative leadership, or i think he said 25 years. he said every year we have revisions. we're told to say this told to do this, etc. the implementation of it. i think it depends on the social that's set up with saddam. should all the revisions on as controversial as taking out the see we have even ocean because it, that's a lot of us information for the students to take it. all they is controversial is maybe taking out climate change issues. i think being the revisions for the past 25 years. so, you know, that's really interesting. and i think there's been a lot of back and forth in this. i don't think climate change itself from what i understood from the principal. we've actually been introduced until very recently and been taken out in some aspects. so i think there's been a back and forth since i would say 2004 in these issues. and i will agree that you know, something is instrumental is evolution being taken out is symbolic, and also controversial. but let's compare it. it's been happening so much. so i also, you know, study that to see the school, but also in alabama. and i was,

you know, i taught accidents in a public school. i wasn't taught darvin siri by the way, until i think, 11th and 12th grade much later on. and even though i disappointed my mom, i'm not becoming a doctor. i still turned out a lot of time, but i think, but i think there's always been the issue. yeah. overall. boss of new teach. yeah, i'm a stray so i wouldn't go. i thought it took about size. but 1st of all, from a teacher's perspective, what does rationalization really mean from a teacher's perspective? yeah, oh, 1st of all, i would like to share my experience. for the past 2 weeks, i have been interacting with so many students. i have my lowest examination using which i was discussing with the students while the crazy all set it up under me. so most of the opinion that the basic understanding that like in front of members. so

some students i see that they don't understand what is it, i say, what is it they is? what does it matter? what does a non budget? so these kind of basic understanding that it, becky, yes and yeah, that they want to buy, hug the that saying that the industry is all about them. what are they shouldn't because they need to buy a table, they need to buy how to go back to those and so on. so that's the good off can use to do to log off and then what do they want to tell them out? how do you encourage them? yes, i'm coming to that so that i think the names of the elements are all the means. yes, it all said we should focus on the course and show concepts and principles. and they can use that to solve problems. how they can use those concepts? rebooted thinking amenities. so this is what the national education i want to see. so they say that they can shut off. well the content focus on products and shows the basic principles and concepts and then teach them all up later. and solve

problems. so this is a good thing when i want to say like, this is my personal experience. i ended up going on with the students in last it to be and many, all this opinion that the 9 to the band to make their learning support a lot. i'm, i want to ask you a chemistry professor about some of the topics that has been rationalize and i still want to off what that really means from a teacher's perspective. but let's look at the topics of been comp from here 10 a science and mathematics. so you 1016 year olds. so let's take a look here. even solution we biology. the periodic table was by phonics was telling us a pie cycle and the fear and those have gone. do you think that's gonna help your students plots a particularly wonderful that's on the table aspect. yes, so as i have said, instead of just asking them to memorize these parts to focus on what is the concept

of the what is on the main concept. we end up last if occasion of these that are still existing at 9 o'clock 10 levels. so once they get used to the concepts and principles, then it is not good for them to think of that. ok, can we classify these elements? they can come up with the classification. so this is what i me say 3 specializations on the if you look at these bills like tables, i just put up now it says, i'm sure it gets cut, going back to being a 15 year old at school. you look through this now, you know, here's memorized, you know, the entire periodic table, but you'll students do not yeah. how do you and i don't know. i don't remember all the minutes of the day, but i just know some, some of the agencies, for anyone who remember all the elements of the. uh huh. so that's what i'm saying . instead of just asking them to memorize the concept that the lane concept please . elements how i think the number on that instead of going to be the best be do,

and they have a similar property. this is on the lane concept. if we pitch them in class, then i think then they can construct better one more to the order. so then she go ahead, i think bus one has this interesting point where there is an evolution in terms of how teaching is being done in india. we, you know, in the west have that a very practical exposure. whether it's, you know, physically using our hands and the things that we're doing in a chemistry lab or a physics lab, or whether it's the actually been academic curriculum that were taught. and the experience that have had go and not been people that i've spoken to within and and you know, just be investigated or more able to answer this. it's a very, based on what you're saying was memorization. how do i make sure that i know i'm sure the people to, i'm sorry for jumping in between, but i would also like to add that to one of the major points that i want to bring in is that the indian government has not put forward any names of people who have

recommended these changes and the reasons behind it. yes, they are saying it for this, for the new education policy after the cool they, but at least they should make means of the people public who have recommended these changes invite. they have done so because every time they have been changes in mt off the books, it has photos a suit that has a product that has been a process in the last leading economic commissions actually involved in the process does to be, does discussion have the discussion that on the 1st day of the know there was a textbook committee that looked at the textbooks and then resolved. he's done. who was on that textbook committee. so a textbook committee comprise of the immune and people, but i confirmed with all of them. nobody was informed that these changes are being made on the committee members would need to be able to not get the new board. so the changes have been made already. this is this new school yet already i left the

bus route to put his hands up like we're at school, but have to have your hand is out. yeah. right. yeah. i have no idea it actually i would like to add that to and see at the stage that the sending getting strategy to other students through their learning. do that all set up itself for me and that uh, in the process of formulating completely new books based on the conditions and they spell it. all right, let's talk then about the impact that this has happened. coughing, having all students and what teachers think about this. so this is professor emeritus by how, who spoke to us a little bit earlier. have a listen, have a look a as in golf mind, he's actually attacking science and that's natalie de monte for the earlier minister of education. actually criticized evolution, saying that he has a c, a monkey funding english being and ends question. this is not something that should

be going with to the younger people off of this country. and i think the government is trying to move back towards into my apology, in to a hit scheme, the scriptures to provide you rational thinking for the next generation, which is extremely dangerous to that. so what i was thing to do is maybe work on that old very classic conversation, religion versus science. if that's what's going on that go ahead. you know, i, i, i hope not. i sincerely hope not because then we're in a trajectory that we don't want to be in. i do think that, you know, there is a controversy and as you know, the mergers professor said, you know, there have been political figures who have made these very inappropriate. i would say remarks at certain points, but i think at the end of the day,

can we trace this back, let's say to those 2 certain politicians making those remarks and the juncture of removing it now? because i think the compulsions of doing so at this point are not because of this push to have a certain uh, you know, id all a g or framework in mind as is unfortunately very, very common. i mean, yeah, whatever the oh, but sorry for jumping in, but i would like to pointed out this is what does eat actually to put it on the with flush to report that evolution was removed and the, the movie game just a unit after the statement of in the us form education minister who said this particular statement that nobody has seen a mind coming from an a. ringback i have it. yeah, it's the 1st to just to finish a sentence and then you go ahead 1st differential. oh, you do not speak. you know,

i'm just going to new. so you can not the statement of india's education minister lately. he hates the department. he's making that statement and after making that statement, that particular concept was removed for us, it was removed from the examination, then it was completely pushed on the books. nobody has come out with an explanation why that has been done so far. i'm was that i noticed a nami, if we didn't do that in indian science congress, i prefer it actually said the book you, what is the issue with the overseas? that vision was that dean. god, nation in certain forms is the better to do than ever you dive into relation to it . so that is, that can, i can't say between religion and science existing at the same time. that's fine. i'm going to have you come in here. go ahead. yeah. so i don't think the daughter we see the ocean is not the one, but it's actually she fit to glass flooded. so this is one point i disagree with me . and then uh that the, so she was saying the sure i trust me right. this is the fact that my son just

finishes his goal and then you can come right back. so she also said that uh so why don't produce that a point to note that the show that i also have a similar idea. and so we've seen that idea then why would anyone want to do with the concept? all right, so let me just show the other ones they just need to show i only assistance, i can keep up with that conversation. this is in search, so this is the education body who um, sets the curriculum on a country level on a national level, and they are pushing back with some of the complaints about this and rationalization of the curriculum. for instance, a periodic table has not been removed from school education, but is in fact available in great detail in unit 3 and then they go on. so it's really about the age of the students, rather than the content of the curriculum. but there are some issues that

some teachers are bringing up. they seem to be stuck on this idea about evolution on our instincts, but it should be removed from the curriculum at age 16 and, and this is associate professor vadlira who took just a little bit early, have a list and have a look to remove the concept of evolution from body to textbooks up to past tense, there wouldn't be many students who would never study biology ever after that. and to go to high school, they chose to going to different disciplines. i found students that have a very, very distorted, very incomplete understanding of biology is really the for the fact that ties on by to get together. i'll try to you explain to help the whole student is going to really help them to understand the science before they have. so just memorize a whole periodic table, but there must be some very basic parts of sites that they need to know in order to understand chemistry. what about understanding serious evolution so that you can

understand biology? do you see that that is an issue? yeah, i agree that the positive stuff i was using these 5 maybe find them and then you'll understand the origin of life. so i do think that it should be did in uh before the last and i mean it should be there in clarkston. but one thing we need to be mind here is i, this is this, it getting start to g to reduce the bit on students for me. when they come up with a new textbooks i, the labeled under and put it back into class them because. busy to be at least under the concept to understand biology so that she from, from your talking to the students who are local to you, what is the feedback that you are getting? how they feeling less stressed with that? what close now the fluids, it's too early, right? and look that there has been a constant process. what's happened is that there has been a substantial increase of failure and dropout rates post colbin,

not just in primary education, but senior secondary as well in when you know, a lot of this issue comes in. so i think i agree when she is speaking about, you know, the causation is here, the provoking of an idea. and the after effect of it, you know, being this included in, in, in some of these textbooks is clear. and you can, you know, segregated, but there's also a nuance of the fact that this isn't post just 2020, to the statement being made. right. it was a concentrated effort by both successive and the government from 2014 onwards to create a new natural education policy. one of the biggest things that they wanted to tackle was the mental workload that students had to face. right. so they've been working on this since 2014. the are the ministry that has been changed into the education ministry had this has their focal agenda. so it's a ministry makes that statement which you know is not ok, right? but at the same time, it's what, what you're thinking is, this is

a much concentrated effort, and it's a more positive effort, a holistically, if you think about it, to make sure that we don't have an increase of youth suicide based off of education . because at this point and yet does have that, right? it's a, it's a consummate effort to make sure that instead of just being a, uh, what you know, my mom calls them are or just memorization of education. we have people that are actually critically speaking and based on the existing, incredible point when, when a, in his article as well. and what he's talking about it is that i understanding the fundamentals is substantially more important. and it gives you a more holistic approach. and to other subjects, and i think if we do less than just the subject itself, it would be substantially good. but the problem is the, the issue is, is that what is being taken out? so if you have a substantial amount of content being taken, now that is part of a certain identity or part of certain political narrative, then there are reforms that need to be made in that. but what i want to stress,

again, that's not something that's new to india, it's been happening every successive government. and the biggest failure though, because we, you know, we harp on this controversy, but we move on to the next one who harms that we've, i'm most students for the past 20 years. the principal that i spoke with was saying not a single person, not a single student or a year has had the same curriculum in consequence, really. right. so every single years on that, they're really trying hard. okay. for things pretty interesting. and it is possible for 2 things to happened at the same time, from what a nice ation and the education to understand that students learning a different way as to the textbooks to be political in nature. both of those things can happen at the same time. one more profess, i want to bring into the conversation and this is a professor. biology has a listen and have a look. the scientific community in india is opposing this decision because the lack of exposure to the idea of

a whoosh understanding the week of the development of the scientific position of thinking to learning solution one gets to know that the word has not been the same all through history, we will get to know that organisms evolve, evolve performing normal one process. we don't need divine intervention. we get to know that the form of human, the d, e to speak, feel free is and color on the scene species. and all of these are the essential components of development of your scientific ment of mind. all right, i guess i'm going to quiz you immediately. i'm going to give you a question of full and you have to come back to me straight away. admin says india is totally changing the concepts of mobiles and the muslims sultan's from history of thoughts tricity in a sentence very quickly. and i think, you know, it's the, i'm so what is happening with the students because instead of actually being guided and the positive be the don't know what's being told on them and what ok removed.

all right, so will says indian is backsliding in the eyes of the world of games through these proposals. that's controversial. sanction, quick response back please. i think we've had consistent back fighting. and what we need to do is, are formed a system so that the government can be competitive and it cbs the curriculum with this onslaught of ed tech, that's the rationalization it occurs, etc, to give more access to the students in a more equitable manner. so that's the advanced thoughts h in the periodic table of elements. what does it stand for me? what does we've done for the interview? oh, my goodness. all right, 2 out of 2. excellent. thank you so much of that, really understanding helping us understand what rationalization means in india, with the current curriculum for youngsters age 16 on, on the sit on sharing,

that's fine. and so you're saying you get an a plus b, u. s. thanks very much for being part of our program today. i'll see you next time . take the the in february 2023. a 149 carriage freight train travel through this palestinian new hire. $38.00, cause the rate of 11 we're carrying hazardous materials. one of them is the most toxic chemical ever test in the united states. it was terrified, blanketing our communities, photons,

investigate safety practices within america's railroad industry. time is money. money is everything. the room on the jersey to show you what do you see? right, well, let me see if i can change or thank the good news for everybody has different thinking that's from floor space. all right? we want to do the best for children of this area. every time i see these kids just bring me right back and i couldn't control things. i just like those kids stuff. me . what is the idea of being a fan? think protected. well maybe it's a pretty name for some free period and yourself enough person shoes. so you can see from a different kind of can you voice much what sonic i talk to, but in hard to control anger, putting him against the full screen and did

a poem that them angrily picture the scanner for the children were thinking of i'm thinking and that's why i want, i think the wells fil is listed on the top or of the chasing india celebrities. it's a high stakes game, wondering where these, those behind the lines with those hunting for the big picture. on now, tuesday of the greek rescue workers pull survivors and bodies from the sea. after they're both seems killing at least $79.00 migrants. hundreds are still missing the robot, this one and this is all the 0 life from don't have also coming up cruise and nigeria of focus and retrieving bodies after a boat accident on the nicer river as.
