The CBSE will introduce artificial intelligence (AI), early childhood
care education and yoga as new subjects in school curriculum from the
upcoming academic session, an official said. A decision to introduce the
three subjects was taken at a recent meeting of the Board's governing
body, he said.
"The CBSE is introducing artificial intelligence as
an optional 6th subject at Class IX from the session 2019-2020 onwards.
To enhance the multidisciplinary approach in teaching learning and also
to sensitise the new generation, it was decided that schools may start
AI "inspire module" of 12 hours at Class VIII itself," the senior Board
official said.
He said the Board has also decided to introduce
yoga and early childhood education as elective subjects at senior
secondary level.
"The
decision was taken considering the demand of schools supplemented by
various reports that projected the huge requirement of yoga
professionals and early childhood educators," the official said.
As
per norms, a skill subject, at secondary level, may be offered as
additional sixth subject along with the existing five compulsory
subjects.
And if a student fails in any one of the three elective
subjects (science, mathematics and social science), then it will be
replaced by the skill subject (offered as a 6th subject) and result of
Class X will be computed based on best five subjects.
However, if a student desires to reappear in the failed subject, he or she may appear along with the compartment examination.
Similarly,
at senior secondary level, the board has advised schools to offer at
least one or more skill-based subject as elective subject out of the 42
subjects.
"The
board will provide necessary support and guidance towards training and
capacity building of teachers and other aspects for the successful
implementation of skill subjects from time to time," the official added.
