Scientists slam removal of Darwin's theory by NCERT
The Morning Standard
|April 22, 2023
AS MANY AS 1,800 scientists, educators, science teachers, science popularizers, and rational-minded citizens from various reputable institutions have expressed their dissatisfaction and serious concerns regarding the removal of Darwin's theory of biological evolution from the science syllabus of class 10 in the NCERT textbook.
These concerned individuals, under the Breakthrough Science Society, jointly signed an open letter urging the government to continue teaching Darwin's theory of evolution with sufficient importance in the 9th and 10th standard science books of NCERT. The chapter on the theory was initially removed as an interim measure for syllabus reduction during the COVID-19 pandemic, but the NCERT document has since stated that it has been permanently dropped as a step in "content rationalization."
