NCERT: Understanding Its Full Form and Role
The full form of NCERT is the National Council of Educational Research and Training, known as Rashtriya Educational Research and Training Parishad in Hindi. Established in 1961, NCERT operates as an autonomous organization under the Ministry of education, government of India. Its primary aim is to enhance the quality of school education across the country.
Recently, NCERT has gained attention for its new educational module, which focuses on Operation Sindoor, targeting students from classes 3 to 12. While NCERT often makes headlines for its initiatives, many are still unaware of its comprehensive role and contributions to education in India.
NCERT is responsible for developing the curriculum for classes 1 to 12, which is utilized by the CBSE and various state boards throughout the nation. In addition to syllabus preparation, NCERT engages in extensive research in educational fields and offers training programs for teachers. It also publishes teaching kits, multimedia resources, and educational journals to support effective teaching practices.
Moreover, NCERT has created several National Curriculum Frameworks (NCF) over the years, such as NCF 2005 and the recent NCF 2023, which outline the objectives, principles, and content for education in India. In the 1970s and 80s, NCERT expanded its focus to include educational technology, promoting learning through educational television (ETV) and radio programs.
Through these diverse functions, NCERT plays a pivotal role in shaping the educational landscape in India, ensuring that quality education is accessible to all students.
