CBSE Guidelines on Coronavirus - Very Important for Class 6 students

In this period of Covid-19, which is declared as a global pandemic, our teachers, parents, and students have to remain at homes to prevent its spread in the community. In the present environment of stress we have to not only keep our children busy but also to maintain continuity of their learning in their new classes. In this context, NCERT has developed an Alternative Academic Calendar for all the stages of school education.

CBSE has developed a 4-week calendar for students of all classes. It contains references to textbooks, chapters, themes, e-resources, some web links, etc., for teachers, to be referred to if they want to design contextual activities for children. These are also helpful for parents to understand the activities they are going to conduct with their children.

This Calendar contains class-wise and subject-wise activities in tabular forms. Since Social Science has four areas at the secondary stage in the form of subjects- History, Political Science, Economics and Geography, activities related to these subject areas are given separately.

However, the material that the teacher will refer to may be class specific and different. It is up to the teachers and students to choose the activity to be undertaken, as per their convenience and tools available.

(Note- At different places in the following tables, there are specific references
to figures and activities, etc., from NCERT textbooks. These are given for exemplar purpose and are suggestive only. In case textbooks developed by states are being used by the schools, it is suggested that the teachers may take examples from their state developed textbooks.)
