ACADEMIC SESSION of all the schools recognised by the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) in the city has started since April. However the NCERT books of different subjects for various classes are not available in market.
Due to change in the syllabus, new books in science, maths, social studies and history have been recommended for Classes I, III, VI, IX and XI. Principals of schools say despite repeated reminders to the NCERT the books are not being made available to students on time thereby hampering the teaching work.
Sources said the difficulty has arisen due to changes made in the syllabus by the Union Ministry of Human Resources Development just before starting of the academic session. Sources at CBSE said that the wholesalers of each region were allotted specific dates for the collection of their stocks by NCERT following which the books were made available through retailers and other book stores.
