One of the obstacles that is seen in the creative education system is guidebook and notebook. The main purpose of creative education system is to enhance creative thinking among the students. This education system mitigates the sole dependence of the students on memorizing. But if the guidebooks and notebooks are published the students are more likely to memorize the answers from those books. The teachers will also prepare question papers from such books. As a result, creativity among the students will not develop. Due to the existence of guidebooks and notebooks, the students study the textbooks very little. The students also try to pass through adopting unfair means. Realizing the truth, the government took the decision to ban guidebooks and notebooks. But publishers and sellers filed a writ petition against the government order. The High Court dismissed it and upheld the order. After that the Supreme Court stayed the High Court verdict following their petition. Getting the opportunity they published guidebooks and notebooks. On 10 December, the SC upheld the HC verdict. The verdict is very significant and crucial for our education system. So, I think the SC verdict is certainly praiseworthy and hope that the government will implement it and gradually ban guidebooks and notebooks at higher levels of education.
