Draft curriculum plan wants math learning to ‘not be robotic’

The new National Curriculum Framework in India suggests changes in the way mathematics is taught, including moving towards play-based and real-life examples. The draft also recommends breaking societal perceptions such as girls being incapable of math and the association of computational abilities with the upper castes. The goal is to achieve foundational literacy and numeracy for all children, with a greater focus on creative problem-solving.
