The
cost incurred for supply of new books should not be loaded on public
exchequer, but should be recovered from the concerned guilty individuals
!
Issue of text book of geography for 10th standard in which Arunachal Pradesh was shown as a part of China !
Mumbai : Recently an incident of showing Arunachal Pradesh as a part of China in the text book of geography for 10th
standard came to light. In this regard, Education Minister Rajendra
Darda declared during an interview given to a news channel that the
study group for geography would be suspended, and fresh books will again
be supplied to 6,50,000 students. (It is
necessary to punish the concerned individuals, who committed such a
serious mistake, instead of merely being satisfied with suspensions of
study group ! – Editor, Daily, ‘Sanatan Prabhat’) Similarly, the
Chief Minister Pruthviraj Chavan also conceded that there are
innumerable mistakes in this text book and assured to take necessary
action against guilty individuals.
Minister Darda further said, “The island group of Andaman-Nicobar and Lakshadweep are also missing from the above text book. (How
a serious is mistake committed in the first place, in the Bharatiya map
? This is just a sample of disorderly management in the field of
education ! - Editor, Daily, ‘Sanatan Prabhat’) Sixteen lakh
copies of the text book have been printed, out of which 6,50,000 copies
have been sold. These books will be replaced, and fresh amended books
will be made available. Similarly, a clarification in regard to the
mistakes committed will shortly be issued in the monthly mouth piece of
the Text Book Bureau ‘Shikshan Sankraman’. (We
need the rulers who will ensure that mistakes will not be committed at
all, instead of the rules who issue clarification after the committing
the mistakes ! - Editor, Daily, ‘Sanatan Prabhat’)
Teaching system used for curriculum is faulty ! - Retired teacher Prof. Vidyadhar Amrute
In this regard, a retired teacher for
geography Prof. Vidyadhar Amrute who worked in the Text Book Bureau for
several years said, “Undertaking improvements in the text book of
geography is not the only issue, but the entire teaching system used for
that subject is faulty. The subject of geography for 10th standard will
be taught in parts. It is entirely wrong to teach geography from the
regional point of view.”
Pathetic clarification lacking
responsibility by Board for Secondary Education says, “The mistakes have
occurred due to small size of maps.” (Board for Secondary Education covering own misdeeds by issuing silly explanations ! - Editor, Daily, ‘Sanatan Prabhat’)
