Preface

The introduction of a Curriculum for Preschool to Class VIII is a pioneering endeavour undertaken by the Council to usher an exciting and dynamic dimension in the field of Education. The new Curriculum incorporates all elements of academic interests that cater to the challenging requirements of present day educational needs.

In order to allow for holistic and coherent planning and to provide greater flexibility and choice for schools and teachers, the Council has developed a Curriculum framework that aims at facilitating the teaching-learning process. It also serves to make learning purposeful and progressive while promoting the achievement of educational aims and objectives in a planned and positive manner. All efforts have been made to incorporate the latest trends in the field of Education, while ensuring that flexibility is provided to teachers to adapt the curriculum as per their requirements and contexts.

To prepare the future generation of learners to meet the challenges of an ever advancing knowledge-based society and a dynamically changing environment, it is imperative that children are equipped with a repertoire of skills and a positive attitude with a sensitized perspective to become successful citizens in a globally competitive society.

The Curriculum caters to a varied and diverse range of individual differences, intelligences and abilities and provides a plethora of opportunities to enjoy the learning experience through integration of generic skills, values and attitude in key learning areas.

Development of Curriculum is an ongoing process, subject to continuous change and revision, and it is hoped that this Curriculum will bring about a uniformity in the teaching learning process in Council affiliated Schools. To ensure the successful implementation of this Curriculum, it is imperative that Schools maximize their participation in this endeavour to achieve academic excellence. In this context, we invite schools to send their comments, suggestions or contributions on the Curriculum.

I take this opportunity to acknowledge the contribution of subject experts from leading International and National educational institutions and subject teachers from schools affiliated to the Council. The RDCD team of the Council deserves special mention for diligently and meticulously developing this Curriculum.
