So we have told our teachers verbally not to teach 20% syllabus and not use it to test students. Deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia told school teachers that they should leave out 20% of the syllabus since the Delhi government could not fulfil its promise to reduce the curriculum by 25%. We teach students fairy tales about a princess who is ugly and then gets beautiful upon praying. Sisodia, who is also the education minister, said he was advised to consult educationists over reduction in syllabus. The minister stressed the need to change the syllabus and said there was a need to teach ideas from new perspective.
