PUNE: The Maharashtra State Council of Education Research and Training has sent a proposal to the state government for continuing the 25% cut in the syllabus for classes I to XII, as implemented last year.
Dinkar Temkar, director of the council, said while there may not be a need for syllabus cuts if schools reopen, it may be required if they remain closed for an extended period.
“The proposal for a 25% cut announced last year was limited to the previous academic year. In case schools do not open for a longer time, the state may cut the syllabus for this year too. This will be the same as last year,” said Temkar. At present, teachers are conducting bridge courses. Temkar said new books will be distributed in eight to 10 days.
