Samacheer Kalvi - Equitable Education For All
Draft of Common Syllabus - Concept Note
Teachers, academics, experts and School Education Department personnel had teamed up in the drafting of the syllabus for equitable education (‘samacheer kalvi’). During various public debates, the participants had come up with their suggestions, that were complied and sent to the Department for necessary action.
The draft syllabus, prepared for Standard I and VI, was based on the National Curriculum Framework of 2005, which recommended promotion of free, independent thinking among students, encouragement to student’s creative potential and support to help them contribute to social change. “This draft syllabus has been framed after incorporation of the NCF objectives with the aim of providing students enjoyable learning experience.”

| The state government had announced a timeline for the implementation of equitable standard school education for classes I and VI. The draft syllabi for the two classes were ready by the end of September. The syllabi were finalised after wide consultations on various public forums. November and December would be devoted to the preparation of textbooks. The manuscripts would be ready by December end. In January, they would be handed over to the Tamil Nadu Textbook Corporation. In June, the textbooks would be distributed to students of the two classes.
After presiding over a meeting to review the implementation of the government’s latest policy decision in education, Thangam Thennarasu, School Education Minister, had said that the decision-making process would be completely transparent. The best features of the present syllabi of the existing four streams – State Board, Matriculation, Oriental and Anglo Indian – would be incorporated.
The School Education Department is keen on enhancing the overall quality of textbooks in terms of content, printing quality and visual appeal.” In this exercise, the department was open to drawing from other boards, too. The department would also use the NCERT textbooks as a model and look at incorporating some of the features from their textbooks as well and the new textbooks would hence include a lot of pictures and other visual elements.
