schoolmust be linked to their life outsidethe school.This principle marks a departure from thelegacy ofbookish learning which continues to shape our system andcauses a gap between the school,home and community.Thesyllabi and textbooks developed on the basis of NCF signify anattempt to implement this basic idea.They also attempt todiscourage rote learning and the maintenance of sharpboundaries between different subject areas.We hope thesemeasures will take us significantly further in the direction of achild-centred system of education outlined in the National Policyof Education(1986).  \nThe success of this effort depends on the steps that schoolprincipals and teachers will take to encourage children to reflecton their own learning and to pursue imaginative activities andquestions.We must recognise that,given space,time and freedom,children generate new knowledge by engaging with theinformation passed on to themby adults.Treating theprescribedtextbook as the sole basis of examinationis one of the key reasonswhy other resources and sites oflearningare ignored.Inculcatingcreativity and initiative is possible ifwe perceive and treat childrenas participants in learning,not as receivers of a fixed bodyof knowledge.  \nThese aims imply considerable change in school routinesand mode of functioning.Flexibility in the daily time-table is asnecessary as rigour in implementing the annual calendar sothat the required number of teaching days are actually devotedto teaching.The methods used for teaching and evaluation willalso determine how effective this book proves for makingchildren's life at schoola happy experience,rather than a sourceof stress or boredom.Syllabus designers have tried to
