CBSE introduces essential life and employability skills in schools

The CBSE has taken the lead in equipping students with critical life and employability skills. The idea will be an activity-based curriculum targeted at helping pupils close learning gaps caused by the pandemic.

Studies suggest that the age group of 14-29 years is the greatest time for students to learn the important life skills of problem-solving, communication, self-awareness, and job-readiness, says Biswajit Saha, director (training and skill education), CBSE. Due to the epidemic, there has been a significant learning gap among students in this area over the last two years, which our program intends to overcome."
