Editor,
I write to express deep concern over the recently released DIET syllabus for the exam that is going to be conducted for the first time by the APPSC.
There is a need to incorporate either GK or GS in the syllabus. The current syllabus primarily focuses on subject-specific knowledge, leaving a big gap in the holistic development of teacher-trainees, teacher-educator, lecturers and serious aspirants by not incorporating either GK or GS in the syllabus.
GK/GS is an indispensable component of education that fosters critical thinking, problems solving, awareness of current affairs, and the government’s schemes and policies relevant to the field of education.
I request the APPSC to consider revising the current syllabus by only adding either GK or GS in the syllabus.
