Abstract

As astep to achieve this objective Department ofWomen's Studies in the NCERT has prepared a handbook for upper primary school teachers which may help them in the empowerment of the girls through curriculum transaction. It is presumed that empowerment of girls as well as projection of the values commensurate with the status of women in the teaching-learning process in the schools will go a long way in promoting equality between the sexes. These values (Appendix I) were developed in a series of workshops and were ultimately finalised in a national seminar held in the year 1975-76 under the joint auspices of the NCERT, New Delhi and the A.N.S. Institute of Social Studies, Patna.
