The Union Education Minister, Dharmendra Pradhan, has launched the Computational Thinking and Artificial Intelligence (CT & AI) curriculum for students of Classes 3 to 8 under the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE), marking the beginning of the 2026–27 academic session.
The minister said the initiative aims to shift India’s school education system from rote memorization to critical thinking and design thinking. The curriculum has been introduced from the very first day of the academic year across CBSE schools.
AI for Education and AI in Education
Pradhan highlighted that the government is moving forward with two key strategies such as “AI for Education” and “AI in Education,” to integrate technology into learning. He stated that "If we review the Stanford AI Knowledge Index today, India is the third-largest country in the world where people with AI capacity reside. This has been possible because India's academia and educational family have taken AI as their agenda. Today, we have worked to bring it into a formal structure."
