This data suggests that a similar number of students may opt for non-science streams in the upcoming years. Consequently, these students may miss out on the opportunity to learn fundamental Chemistry concepts, which are now exclusively available in the Class 11 curriculum.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to the Ministry of Education&#8217;s statistics, only 52.4 lakh students selected the Science stream in higher secondary school in 2022, constituting a mere 42% of all students who passed Class 10. This data further underscores the potential consequences of removing the periodic table chapter from Class 10 textbooks.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The decision made by the NCERT has raised concerns among educators, who argue that access to the periodic table and related concepts is essential for developing a strong foundation in Chemistry. As a result, many are advocating for a reconsideration of the curriculum changes to ensure that students from all streams have access to this fundamental knowledge.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As per the notice by the NCERT, \u201cIn view of the COVID-19 pandemic, it is imperative to reduce content load on students.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) has recently undertaken a process of &#8220;rationalization&#8221; in the curriculum, leading to the removal of the periodic table chapter from Class 10 Science textbooks.
