New Delhi:
Elderly care, yoga, and self-help will soon be part of the curriculum at Delhi schools. A new course, called Science of Living, will introduce students to different forms of meditation, including yoga, mindfulness, and stretching exercises, a State Council of Educational Research and Training (SCERT) official said.
The course will be for students from kindergarten to class 10, he said.
The official told PTI that the education department was also be developing new courses focused on Artificial Intelligence.
“As technology continues to evolve, the need to upgrade skills has become essential. To meet this demand, we are working on new courses and activities that will help students stay ahead in the tech-driven world,” he said.
Several existing schemes and courses are being revised with new elements to enhance their impact, he said.
Among them is New Era of Entrepreneurial Ecosystem and Vision, or NEV, which will introduce students to business-related activities, he said.
The official added that NEV would be different from the Business Blasters programme and would offer a fresh set of activities.
Another new programme, called ‘Rashtraneeti’, will be introduced for students across class to give them “practical” knowledge of governance, democracy, active citizenship, and policymaking, he added.
