The Class 8 Social Science textbook of the National Council of Educational Research and Training has been revised and is expected to be released within a week. The revised book has received clearance from an expert committee. A final approval is expected after a meeting of the NCERT syllabus committee. The NCERT had withdrawn the textbook in March following directions from the Supreme Court, which imposed a blanket ban due to a chapter referring to corruption in the judiciary. Printing of the revised edition is expected to commence shortly. The NCERT has also reconstituted a 20-member National Syllabus and Teaching Learning Material Committee to oversee curriculum design.
