A COMEDY OF ERRORS
State board text books contain hilarious errors for second consecutive year,including old errors that haven't been corrected and new ones introduced this time.Teachers,Students,Parents and booksellers are not amused though...
.Geography text books show Vasai creek on Land,Refers to ALEXANDER as ALEXANDRIA.
The RECENTLY upgraded state board curriculum hasn't impressed too many people.Apart from a series of errors that have crept into several of the textbooks,experts and observers have also highlighted the poor quality of information in the books.What's Worse,even books,which were apparently updated and re-published,not only continue to have earlier mistakes but have also introduced fresh errors.
Here's one EXAMPLE :
According to information given in a map in the said Geography textbook,MALAD and VASAI creeks appears to be on land while another page mentions the Worli river, a River that does not EXIST.
students had no choice but to depend on last year's textbook.But when it did finally reach them, series of errors were noted in the reprinted version also.African people have been referred to as 'Negroes' and Alexander the Great has been referred to as Alexandria,apart from other errors.
