CBSE makes AI a part of formal teaching, NCERT develops module
In a significant shift, the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) is integrating artificial intelligence (AI) into its formal curriculum, with the National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) developing a comprehensive 20-hour introductory module for Classes IX to XII. This move aims to make AI literacy a basic skill for CBSE students, encompassing understanding of its workings, uses, and limitations.
In consultation with IIT Madras and IIT Jodhpur, NCERT has prepared separate AI textbooks for students at a more advanced level. The module, aimed at school-based assessment, will be compulsory for Class IX under the board's revised scheme, while Class X will continue under the existing scheme. Education ministry officials emphasize that AI is now integral to various activities, including education, research, content creation, and career advice, necessitating teaching students how to effectively use AI tools and verify information.
