The Board has stated that the practice of prescribing textbooks from different private publishers by different Private Schools results in non-uniformity in the curriculum being taught in schools across the UT of J&K which is a highly undesirable situation.
It is to be noted here that prescribing textbooks published by JKBOSE, which come with a proper check on the content, has been a long pending demand of parents, however, the same gained momentum after the publication of inappropriate content earlier in December last year.
As a part of the action then, the JKBOSE also directed the schools to withdraw the book carrying blasphemous content while the fresh directions that have been issued are being seen in that context underlining the measures which the Board is taking to bring in uniformity in the textbooks taught in schools across J&K.
