Bengaluru: The Karnataka government has removed various topics including chapters on Mysuru rulers Hyder Ali and Tipu Sultan, in a bid to reduce stress of the syllabus for state board schools by 30 per cent.
The chapters on Mughal history and teachings of Jesus and Mohammad have also been truncated.
The Department of Public Instruction of the Karnataka government also limited or removed various other topics from the syllabus of class 6 to 10 as they were repeated or can be alternatively taught.
However, this move is applicable only for the current academic year.
This comes after the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) reduced the syllabi for Classes 9 to 12 due to COVID-19 pandemic.
A regular academic year has 210-220 working days. As per The Times of India, the syllabus has been revised in accordance with 120-140 working days for Classes 1-10.
