The conference also highlighted CISCE’s plans to modernize its curriculum to address the evolving needs of the 21st century. A revamped framework integrating critical thinking, creativity, digital literacy, and multilingualism was unveiled, ensuring holistic development for learners.
Tailor-made curricula for specific groups, including sports professionals and artistically gifted students, were highlighted as a step toward greater inclusivity. A hands-on learning approach, project-based activities, and toy-based pedagogy will further enhance real-world application and prepare students for dynamic global challenges.
With a clear goal of empowering rural and interior schools, the CISCE shared plans to introduce innovative programs to ensure that no student feels excluded due to limitations in infrastructure or resources.
The council outlined new initiatives like Key-Stage Assessments for Classes III, V, and VIII, along with competency-focused questions at ICSE and ISC levels. This, according to the council, will help transition from Content-Heavy methods to Skill-Based Evaluations. Additionally, the introduction of a Comprehensive Development Report (CDR) will also provide a more holistic view of the progress of students.
