With growing demand of skilled professionals in different industries in the country, CBSE is ready with its new proposal to start vocational courses, relevant for various industries in all the schools from classes 9 to 12.
According to Vineet Joshi, CBSE chairman, CBSE has made a three member panel that is looking forward to submit its proposal in three months. He also cleared that two meetings have already been conducted by the panel with the agenda to focus on requirements of local industry in India.
“Strong industry-academia linkages will help students come up with low-cost solutions for industrial problems, while getting acquainted with industry requirements and culture. The syllabus will be designed to match latest the industry requirements, with emphasis on industrial training,” he said.
“Schools intending to offer vocational courses will obtain permission from us, while students will have to attend additional classes for that.”
There will be course certificates, improving employability. Short-term skill improvement modules will also be offered, with add-on certificates.
Admitting the Comprehensive and Continuous Evaluation (CCE) programme introduced last year had evoked only a mixed response from the stakeholders, Joshi said a two-tier monitoring system had been started to ensure proper compliance.
