(NCF),2005,recommends thatchildren's life at schoolmust be linked to their life outside the school.This principle marks a departure from the legacy of bookish learn-ing which continues to shape our system and causes a gap betweenthe school,home and community.The syllabi and textbooks devel-oped on the basis of NCF signify an attempt to implement this basicidea.They also attempt to discourage rote learning and the mainte-nance of sharp boundaries between different subject areas.We hopethese measures will take us significantly further in the direction of achild-centred system of education outlined in the National Policy ofEducation (1986).  \nThe success of this effort depends on the steps that schoolprincipals and teachers will take to encourage children to reflect ontheir own learning and to pursue imaginative activities and questions.We must recognise that,given space,time and freedom,childrengenerate new knowledge by engaging with the information passedon to them by adults.Treating the prescribed textbook as the solebasis of examination is one of the key reasons why other resourcesand sites of learning are ignored.Inculcating creativity and initiativeis possible if we perceive and treat children as participants in learning,not as receivers of a fixed body of knowledge.  \nThese aims imply considerable change in school routines andmode of functioning.Flexibility in the daily time-table is as necessaryas rigour in implementing the annual calendar so that the requirednumber of teaching days are actually devoted to teaching.Themethods
