Jammu and Kashmir Board of School Education (JKBOSE) has made changes to the curriculum and started to teach chapters to the students on the J&K Reorganisation Act, 2019 in social studies textbooks for classes 6th to 10th, reports Hindustan Times.
The development gains significance as the Act passed by the two houses of Parliament on 5-6 August of last year bisected the erstwhile State of J&K into two separate Union Territories (Uts) of J&K and Ladakh.
The textbook called Social Science Democratic Politics-II for students of class 10 includes Addendum on the Act under eighth chapter of Unit-IV.
It should be noted that the Act had established Ladakh as a UT to be directly administered by the centre, while J&K has been established as a UT with a legislature.
