Chandigarh: Haryana Education Minister Kanwar Pal on Thursday said in order to reduce mental pressure over students, the Board of School Education would reduce the syllabus of the students studying in classes IX to XII in the current academic session.

The Minister said that the schools remained closed across the state during the lockdown amid COVID-19 pandemic.

Pal said to reduce the syllabus, the state has instructed the Board of School Education to set up a committee by coordinating with the SCERT in Gurugram and to put up the proposal within a week after exploring all possibilities in this regard.

Haryana government has made adequate arrangements to impart online education. In order to reduce mental pressure on students, now the state has decided to reduce the syllabus by following the pattern of Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE).

The CBSE had two days ago decided to reduce the syllabus from classes 9 to 12 in the wake of Coronavirus epidemic which has disturbed the regular academic year. Yesterday, Gujarat had also decided to cut the syllabus.

The CBSE decision to reduce the syllabus however led to a controversy as opposition parties and academics criticised the removal of topics like federalism, secularism and citizenship.
