Abstract

The educationists and the statesmen of different eras have casted mathematics education in different forms, and it has swayed to and from the elites to the commoners several times. The vision of the educationists always took tolls on mathematics curriculum, which survived the maximum change during the past one century. Several unorganized or partially organized ventures of mathematics education planning were seen in the pre-colonial era whereas the colonial period displayed some extremely organized, target-oriented decisions regarding the education system as a whole, taking mathematics in and out of focus. In this article, we have focused on the change in mathematics curriculum at the secondary school level in India.
