## School Books by Private Publishers

†2350. SHRI OM PRAKASH YADAV: SHRI SUMEDHANAND SARSWATI: SHRI JANARDAN SINGH SIGRIWAL:

Will the Minister of HUMAN RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT be pleased to state:

- (a)  whether  it  is  a  fact  that  some  CBSE  recognised  private  schools  in  the country  force  students/parents  to  buy  books  from  private  publishers  of their  choice  inspite  of  the  fact  that  the  prices  of  those  books  are  much higher than NCERT text books;
- (b) if so, the details thereof;
- (c) whether the Government proposes to make it compulsory to use NCERT
- books in all the CBSE recognised schools; and
- (d) if so, the details thereof along with the guidelines issued/proposed to be issued to private schools in this regard?

## ANSWER MINISTER OF HUMAN RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT

## (SMT. SMRITI ZUBIN IRANI)

(a)  to  (d):  CBSE  prescribes  textbooks  published  by  National  Council  of Educational  Research  and  Training  (NCERT)  for  classes  IX  to  XII.    For classes I to VIII, CBSE although approves syllabus as per pattern of syllabus given by NCERT, it does not prescribe any textbooks for these classes.  The National Curriculum Framework, 2005 (NCF) stipulates that region specific books  take  care  of  the  local  context,  culture  and  resources  and  therefore different books for different regions better relate to the daily lives of the local students.    CBSE has directed all  its  affiliated  schools  on  20.07.2015  that prescribing  too  many  textbooks  and  coercing  parents  and  children  to  buy them is an unhealthy practice and appropriate action will be taken against the  erring  schools  if  any  such  complaint  is  received.  As  regards  schools forcing  students/parents  to  buy  books  from  private  publishers  of  their choice, Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has not received any substantiated report in this regard.  Moreover, as a part of the Digital India Campaign, this Ministry has launched 'e-pathshala' which is a single point repository  of  e-resources  containing,  NCERT  text-books  and  various  other learning resources.
