NCERT - Oswaal Teachers’ & Parents’ Manual Description
Children are naturally inquisitive and eager to explore and learn about the world around them. It is important for their guardians, both Parents and Teachers, to satisfy their queries, and that too, in such a way that the children are able to understand and comprehend the concepts as well as learn from them.
Also, there exists a gap in the level of information and knowledge provided to the children by the Parents vs. that provided by their Teachers. Discrepancies might also exist in the methodology(ies) through which the information and knowledge is relayed. This increases the possibility that the children might either not understand the concept clearly or become confused about the correct interpretation of the concepts.
With these objectives in mind, and to build connectivity between the teaching methodologies by Parents and Teachers, we at Oswaal Books, have come up with this NCERT Manual for Teachers and Parents. This Manual aims to aid the Teachers and Parents in simplifying the concepts studied by children as a part of their curriculum, so that they are better equipped to make the children understand the subjects, and also evaluate their measure of understanding and creativity.
