Computer Education

Coding is a creative activity that students from any discipline can engage in. It helps to build computational thinking, develop problem-solving skills, improve critical thinking, and gain exposure to real-life situations to solve problems in various realms. Therefore, CBSE is introducing ‘Coding’ as a skill module of 12 hours duration in classes VI-VIII from the Session 2021-2022 onwards. The idea is also to simplify the coding learning experience by nurturing design thinking, logical flow of ideas, and applying this across the disciplines. The foundations laid in the early years will help the students to build competencies in the area of AI, data sciences, and other disciplines. CBSE acknowledges the initiative by Microsoft India in developing this coding handbook for class VI students. The purpose of the book is to enable the future workforce to acquire coding skills early in their educational phase and build a solid foundation to be industry-ready.
