The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has agreements with 15 different organizations to support the development of teachers' capacities and skill sets in order to give pupils access to a variety of knowledge and cutting-edge technologies.
The board has partnered with companies that offer sector skills, including Atal Innovation Mission, IBM, Intel, Microsoft, the council for the manufacturing of apparel and home furnishings, the council for the automotive industry, the council for sports, physical education, and leisure skills, the council for logistics, the council for furniture and fixtures, the council for the life sciences, the council for textiles, and the council for the healthcare industry.
The groups will also assist the board with the creation of skill modules, study guides for skill subjects, competitions or hackathons for students, and teacher training. The NEP places a major emphasis on increased cooperation between academia and industry.
The curriculum must be in line with what the industry requires and should allow for student internships and apprenticeships to encourage exposure to the field. The ability of teachers to produce the desired results needs to be updated. Through these activities, CBSE has established strategic alliances for skill development, education, and training, according to a release from CBSE.
CBSE further stated that SAFAL, a competency-based census evaluation for grades 3, 5, and 8 for school growth, will be supported by the Central Square Foundation (CSF) for the board. For the purpose of conducting SAFAL for grades 3, 5, and 8, the partners will create high-quality competency-based tests.
