DOSE&L to introduce curriculum on AI in all schools from class three onwards

New Delhi, Oct 30 (UNI) The Department of School Education & Literacy (DOSE&L) today reaffirmed its commitment to advancing Artificial Intelligence and Computational Thinking (AI &CT) by making them essential components of future-ready education.
The initiative marks a nascent yet significant step towards the ethical use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to solve complex challenges, as technology will be organically embedded from the foundational stage, beginning in Grade 3.
The department is supporting institutions such as CBSE, NCERT, KVS and NVS along with States and union Territories in designing a meaningful and inclusive curriculum under the broad ambit of the National Curriculum Framework for School Education (NCF SE) 2023 through a consultative process.
Artificial Intelligence and Computational Thinking (AI & CT) will reinforce the concept of learning, thinking and teaching, and will gradually expand towards the idea of ‘AI for Public Good.’
Speaking at the consultation, Sanjay Kumar, Secretary of DOSE&L, emphasized that education in AI should be treated as a basic universal skill linked to The World Around Us (TWAU).
The Secretary noted that the curriculum must be broad-based, inclusive, and aligned with NCF SE 2023, adding that every child’s distinct potential is our priority.
He further highlighted that teacher training and learning-teaching materials, including NISHTHA’s teacher training modules and video-based learning resources, will form the backbone of curriculum implementation.
A stakeholder consultation was held on Oct 29, bringing together expert bodies including CBSE, NCERT, KVS, NVS, and external experts.
The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has constituted an expert committee chaired by Prof. Karthik Raman, IIT Madras, to develop AI & CT curriculum.
