No one from legal fraternity reviewed NCERT chapter on ‘corruption in judiciary’, say officials

Recent reports indicate that no legal experts reviewed the NCERT chapter addressing 'corruption in the judiciary,' raising concerns about the educational material's credibility. Officials noted that the previous Class 8 social science textbook, which was in circulation until 2024, completely omitted any mention of corruption, suggesting a significant gap in the curriculum. The new chapter aims to educate students about the challenges within the judicial system, but the lack of professional oversight has sparked debate over its accuracy and effectiveness. Stakeholders in the education sector are calling for a thorough review process to ensure that such critical topics are presented with the necessary expertise and integrity, reflecting the complexities of India's legal landscape.
