CBSE has introduced CT & AI resource books for Classes 3–8 to promote early learning of computational thinking and artificial intelligence. The move aims to build problem-solving skills and prepare students for a tech-driven future.
New Delhi: In a move aimed at aligning school education with emerging technologies, the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has introduced resource books for students and teachers for a new course on Computational Thinking and Artificial Intelligence (CT & AI) for Classes 3 to 8.
The initiative, announced through an official circular dated April 9, is in line with the National Education Policy (NEP), which emphasises integrating modern technologies such as Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, and data sciences into early education. The board said the move is intended to nurture analytical thinking, problem-solving abilities, and digital awareness among young learners.
Not textbooks, but classroom support tools
As per CBSE, these new books are not books meant to be independent but are meant to supplement the already existing NCERT Math syllabus for students. The chapters remain the same and can help teachers incorporate thinking through coding and Artificial Intelligence while teaching the existing NCERT course without altering the syllabus. These resources are meant to aid teachers in incorporating "thinking" related problems with math concepts.
