NCERT rolls out 20-hour AI module for classes 9-12
The National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) has introduced a 20-hour introductory module on computational thinking (CT) and artificial intelligence (AI) for students in classes 9 to 12. The module, developed in collaboration with IIT Madras and IIT Jodhpur, aims to equip students with the ability to comprehend how AI functions, recognize its constraints, and become responsible users and evaluators of AI systems.
The curriculum covers the potential and limitations of AI, ethical considerations surrounding data privacy, misinformation, fairness, and digital safety, and emphasizes the importance of critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving skills. The module is designed to accommodate students with no prior knowledge of AI and promotes activity-based learning through discussions, practical exercises, experimentation, and reflection.
The approach ensures that meaningful participation is possible across diverse school settings, even without the use of digital devices.
