school must be linked to their life outside theschool.This principle marks a departure from the legacy of bookishlearning which continues to shape our system and causes a gapbetween the school,home and community.The syllabi andtextbooks developed on the basis of NCF signify an attempt toimplement this basic idea.They also attempt to discourage rotelearning and the maintenance of sharp boundaries betweendifferent subject areas.We hope these measures will take ussignificantly further in the direction of a child-centred system ofeducation outlined in the National Policy on Education (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 andquestions.We must recognise that,given space,time and freedom,children generate new knowledge by engaging with the informationpassed on to them by adults.Treating the prescribed textbook asthe sole basis of examination is one of the key reasons why otherresources and sites of learning are ignored.Inculcating creativityand initiative is possible if we perceive and treat children asparticipants in learning,not as receivers of a fixed body ofknowledge.  \nThese aims imply considerable changein school routines andmode of functioning.Flexibility in the daily time-table is asnecessary as rigour in implementing the annual calendar so thatthe required number of teaching days are actually devoted toteaching.The methods used for teaching and evaluation will alsodetermine how effective this
