It is very important to preserve and promote the accuracy of our cultural heritage, especially in education. This textbook error is a serious problem that needs to be fixed as soon as possible by the concerned personnel or department.

As someone passionate about the study of music and culture, I've noticed a small glitch in the Grade 3 "English in Practice" textbook approved by Nepal's curriculum development board.

In the "Sakela Dance" chapter of the book, the drum you see labeled as "dhol" is actually a "madal," and the cymbal marked as "jhyamta" is, in fact, a "tah." To add to the confusion, an exercise at the end asks students to name the instruments. If students provide the correct names whether in class or in exams, they might face penalties. Education should encourage accurate learning, not punish it! It looks like a simple labeling error, but it matters, especially when it comes to preserving the accuracy of our cultural heritage and passing it on to the new generation.

Let's spread the word and nudge those in charge to ensure our textbooks paint an accurate picture of our musical traditions. Share this post, tag the relevant peeps, and let's keep the harmony in our cultural education!
