2024考研英语同源外刊6月:印度版“减负”

In India, children under 16 returning to school this month at the start of the school year will no longer be taught about evolution, the periodic table of elements or sources of energy. The news that evolution would be cut from the curriculum for students aged 15–16 was widely reported last month, when thousands of people signed a petition in protest. But official guidance has revealed that a chapter on the periodic table will be cut, too, along with other foundational topics such as sources of energy and environmental sustainability.

在印度，本月开学的16岁以下儿童将不再学习进化论、元素周期表或能源相关知识。进化论将从15-16岁学生的课程中删除，这个消息在上个月被广泛报道，当时数千人签署了请愿书以示抗议。但官方指南进一步显示，关于元素周期表的一章，连同能源和环境可持续等其它基础主题也将从教科书中删减。

Younger learners will no longer be taught certain pollution- and climate-related topics, and there are cuts to biology, chemistry, geography, mathematics and physics subjects for older school students. Overall, the changes affect some 134 million 11–18-year-olds in India’s schools. The extent of what has changed became clearer last month when the National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) — the public body that develops the Indian school curriculum and textbooks — released textbooks for the new academic year that started in May.

低年级学生将不再学习某些与污染和气候有关的课题，高年级学生的生物、化学、地理、数学和物理课程也将被削减。总的来说，这些变化影响了印度学校里约1.34亿11-18岁的学生。上个月，印度国家教育研究与培训委员会(印度学校课程和教科书的制定机构)公布了从5月开始的新学年的教科书，这使得变化的程度变得更加清晰。

Researchers, including those who study science education, are shocked. “Anybody who’s trying to teach biology without dealing with evolution is not teaching biology as we currently understand it.” says Jonathan Osborne, a science-education researcher at Stanford University in California.

研究人员，包括那些研究科学教育的人，都感到震惊。加州斯坦福大学的科学教育研究员乔纳森·奥斯本说：“无论是谁，讲授生物学却不提进化论，那他讲授的就不是我们目前所理解的生物学。”
