Why NCERT Class 1 Textbooks Are Essential for CBSE Students (2026-27)

The National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) has completely revamped Class 1 textbooks under the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 and the new National Curriculum Framework for School Education (NCF-SE) 2023. These books – Mridang (English), Joyful Mathematics, Sarangi (Hindi), and Shahnai (Urdu) – replace older textbooks and focus on:

  • Foundational Literacy & Numeracy (FLN): Activity-based, play‑centric pedagogy.
  • Competency‑based learning: Emphasis on understanding rather than rote memorisation.
  • Integration of real‑life contexts: Stories, local examples, and hands‑on tasks.
  • Reduced burden: Age‑appropriate, joyful learning experiences.

For CBSE students in Bahrain, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman, and India, these textbooks are the official curriculum materials for the 2026‑27 academic session. Every CBSE‑affiliated school will use these books.
