`Govt. tampering with history textbooks'
NEW DELHI, DEC. 7. Expressing reservation over the proposed educational policy, the Catholic Bishop's Conference of India (CBCI) today charged the Government with ``tampering the history textbooks for schools''.
``The CBCI has also taken exception to the omission by the Government to consult the church in bringing about changes in the curriculum and in writing new textbooks,'' the CBCI secretary, General Oswald Gracias, said in a statement.
``In spite of the selfless service the church renders to the nation in the field of education with a wide network of schools spread all over the country, it is surprising that neither the HRD Ministry nor the NCERT have considered it necessary to consult the church before bringing about drastic changes in the curriculum,'' he said. _ PTI
