AI Training for Teachers in Bhubaneswar
In addition to student training, CBSE is hosting a one-day training program for teachers handling AI subjects for classes 11 and 12. The offline session is being held at SAI International School, Bhubaneswar, and will conclude by 4:30 PM today. This initiative ensures that educators are equipped with the latest methodologies and insights for teaching Artificial Intelligence effectively.
Government’s Push for Skill Development
The Indian government has been actively promoting skill development through initiatives like the Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana (PMKVY) 4.0, which was introduced in the Union Budget 2023. Under this scheme, CBSE-affiliated schools, whether private or government-run, are encouraged to establish Skill Hubs on their campuses. These hubs aim to bridge the gap between education and industry requirements by offering courses tailored to current and future workforce needs.
Industry-Relevant Courses for the Future
As part of the PMKVY 4.0 initiative, students can access demand-driven, industry-linked skilling courses in areas such as:
- Drones
- 3D Printing
- Robotics
- Artificial Intelligence
These courses are designed to prepare students for emerging job markets and align their learning with real-world applications.
Aligning with NEP 2020 Goals
The AI training programs and Skill Hub initiatives are in alignment with the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, which emphasizes the integration of skill development into school curriculums. NEP 2020 recognizes the significance of vocational education and aims to incorporate it into mainstream education to better prepare students for global opportunities.
