Dharamshala: The Department of Education (DoE), Central Tibetan Administration, held a six-day meeting from 1 to 6 December 2025 at the DoE Conference Hall to finalise the Class Six science textbook for Tibetan students.
Since 2024, the National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) in India has been revising science textbooks in accordance with the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 and the National Curriculum Framework for School Education (NCF-SE) 2023, producing new textbooks that are now being implemented in schools.
Following the recommendations and guidance of the Science Textbook Review Committee on the need to translate these new textbooks, committee members convened over the six days to review, discuss, and refine the terminology and meanings in the translated lessons. They successfully finalised six chapters, with the remaining chapters scheduled for completion in the coming year.
