The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) in India is set to introduce a new curriculum for the 2026-27 academic year aimed at enhancing students' skills in computational thinking (CT) and artificial intelligence (AI) for classes III to VIII. This initiative seeks to foster critical thinking, logical reasoning, and problem-solving abilities, while also emphasizing the ethical use of technology. Rather than being taught as standalone subjects, CT and AI concepts will be integrated across various disciplines, including mathematics, science, and social studies, linking classroom learning to real-world applications.
To implement this framework, CBSE has outlined a structured plan that includes hands-on learning experiences, such as puzzles and project-based activities. Workshops at the district level will help build foundational knowledge, while expert-led talks will provide deeper insights into CT and AI topics. Resource handbooks for teachers and students are available on CBSE’s academic website, designed to support mathematics lessons with integrated CT concepts. This initiative aligns with the goals of the National Education Policy 2020, aiming to prepare future-ready learners equipped with essential skills for the modern world.
