52k govt school students to learn AI on CBSE lines now
CBSE curriculum opted for skills & presentation; Microsoft curriculum discarded
Education in Madhya Pradesh will see a major transformation as students of more than 52,000 school students must learn artificial intelligence (AI) on the lines of Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) and not Microsoft.
The academic session 2023-24 would be the last batch of students who will be able to attempt computer examinations by learning Microsoft curriculum. The syllabus for the selected 53 schools has transformed and will teach AI on lines of Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE).
It will be compulsory for students to study AI syllabus from the next academic session on the new curriculum guidelines. MP has earned the batch of being the first state where education is being imparted through a total of 240 hours of 'Artificial Intelligence' classes in classes 8 and 9 in EFA (Education for All) schools.
This targeted learning considers 53 EFA schools in the state, which are selected government schools under an initiative of Madhya Pradesh State Open School Education Board (MPSOSEB).
Among the new syllabus, students would also be introduced to Python. Sharing the changes, district education officer (DEO) Manglesh Vyas said, “CBSE’s syllabus is more comprehensive and targeted to students’ overall development with special attention to computer programming languages and future opportunities.”
The learning hours would come down to 112 hours from 240 hours as per syllabus, however, the division and in-dept learning hours would go up, he added.
Schools must conduct at least 168 periods for students to understand and apply the syllabus.
“In school education, it is essential that students are also assessed properly to ensure learning in sync with New Education Policy (NEP) 2020,” Vyas said.
In the new format, after completion of each unit, the students would be evaluated based on conceptual skills, technical skills and life skills.
AI based on CBSE has also been given preference as it includes problem identification; mind-mapping; ability to use AI; graphical representation; etc. to help students’ processing and life skills, he added.
“In a major addition, students will be required to give oral and written presentations after completion of each unit, hence ensuring holistic development,” Vyas said.
