Specifically, she expressed dissatisfaction with the lack of moral value inculcated in the prescribed CBSE curriculum; and called for the inclusion of moral science as a compulsory subject in the syllabus.<BR><BR> CBSE defended its curriculum for the emphasis on ‘co-scholastic’ areas in recent years. The Board released an updated teachers’ handbook in 2015, giving pedagogues broad guidelines on imparting moral education.<BR><BR> The court opined that the petitioner’s ails against materialism in society, though imbibing public good, were outside the court’s jurisdiction under Article 32 of the Constitution. Instead, it tendered a rather more tolerant tone, noting that preaching morality to the young itself prefaced risks of being one-sided.</strong></td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left" valign="top" ><strong></strong></td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left" valign="top" ><strong>Tags : moral education, cbse, youth</strong></td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left" valign="top"> </td> </tr> <tr> <!--<td><strong>Source : <a target="_new" href="http://www.manupatrafast.com/">newsroom.manupatra.com</a></strong></td>--> <td align="left" valign="top"><strong>Source : newsroom.manupatra.com</strong></td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left" valign="top"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left" valign="top">Regards</td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left" valign="top">Team Manupatra</td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left" valign="top"> </td> </tr> </table> </div> </body> </html>
