If you are already done with your schooling and you often find satisfaction in parting ‘gyaan’ to school kids, telling them tales of how you are glad it’s over, then hold on. This piece of information might just make you want to go back to school again. The ICSE board is now all set to include ‘Harry Potter’, ‘The Hobbit’, ‘Tintin’ and ‘Asterix’ as a part of the English literature syllabus for the middle school students.

Hits you in the feels, right? Well, then there is more to this. The new syllabus will also have ‘Sherlock Holmes’ and ‘Anne Frank’, with the ‘Noddy’ series being a part of the syllabus for junior school kids.

So apparently Harry Potter is being added to the ICSE syllabus & I NEED TO GO BACK TO SCHOOL! WHY DIDN'T THEY TEACH SUCH GOOD THINGS TO US?

It’s high time that the CBSE syllabus also gets its much needed makeover. Can the students move forward from reading abridged versions of ‘A Christmas Carol’ and ‘Bishop’s Candlesticks’ please? Imagine an ideal school life where you don’t have to ‘make’ time for your favourite books because you already busy preparing that book for your exams! Well, the other flip side to this could be that once these books become a part of your syllabus, you could lose the motivation to read them. Well, I guess let’s just be happy for the school kids’ shiny and magical future for now.
