INTRODUCTIONA syllabus is an outline and summary of topics to be covered in education or
training courses. It is often said by an exam board which is given duty of
identifying the key aspect and notions that should be imparted to the students. The
syllabus ensures a fair and impartial understanding between the instructor and
students such that there is minimal confusion on policies related to the course
setting clear expectation of materials to be learned etc. In India we generally
follow three types of syllable in addition to the international syllabus IGCSE or IB.
The three other syllabus types in India are
ICSE/ISE
CBSE
State syllabus

STATE SYLLABUS State syllabus is followed by the schools affiliated to individual boards of the states
of India. So unlike CBSE & ICSE state syllabus is different states may vary. The
syllabus followed in the state of Tamil Nadu might be entirely different from the
one followed in Kerala. State board syllabus in each of the state is designed by the
department of the concerned state government that is why there is syllabus change
for every state in India. Each state government looks after educational issues
pertaining to this system. One of the important feature of the state syllabus is that
they try to accommodate even students with lower IQ to complete their schooling
successfully. Although this is a matter of controversy. It helps in popularizing the
education even at the lower strata of the society.
STATE SYLLABUS IN KERALAIn Kerala, the state board of education is controlled by the state council for
educational research and training (SCERT) which works under the department of
education. The board prepares the syllabus for the schools affiliated with it. The
whole schooling structure is divided as follows:
Kindergarten (LKG & UKG -optional)
Lower primary (Standard one to four )
Upper Primary (STD 5-7)
High School (STD 8-10)

Higher Secondary (STD 11 & 12)
Usually the whole system of KG, LP, UP, and it is referred to as high school.
Students completing this courses one to ten with optional KG will be awarded with
the secondary school leaving certificate (SSLC) Based on the results in SSLC,
students are controlled into higher secondary education (HSE). Higher secondary
offers a wide range of subjects according to the candidate’s preference. After
completing HSE students are awarded with HSE certificate which enables them for
university education. The state syllabus follows the directions given by the national
curriculum framework and the Kerala curriculum framework. The syllabus tries to
overcome the undemocratic power structures followed in the classrooms. Passive
listening was one of the demerits of the prevailing system. So recently there was an
effort to correct this and encourage active participation. Thus the construction of
knowledge and its social dimensions become complementary. The topics and
contents included in the syllabus are current are relevant
Absence of a vision of universal humanism.
Lack of human resource development.
Lack of understanding of the specificity of cultural identity and its need to
develop freely.
Inability to see agriculture as a part of our culture
Lack of scientific approach to health and public health

The syllabus also follows all the aims of educations. Nationalism, Social
Justice, Awareness on environment, Citizenship, awareness of ones right
etc…..
The state syllabi also gives importance to the educational
technology. There are a number of endeavors like e-learning, IT @ School,
ANTS (Animation Training for Students) etc…. So it can be seen that the
curriculum framework is formulated based on the social issues. The learning
process gives importance to the psychology of the students. The syllabus
also gives importance to the concept formation. An equal importance is
given to the three domains and their development. Thus construction of
knowledge becomes complementary with the holistic development of the
child.
Thus in total state syllabus follows every possible ways
of empowering the child undoubtedly the state syllabus is relevant and
useful if it is implemented in the correct way.
