The CBSE is set to introduce Composite Skill Labs in schools aligning with the objectives of NEP 2020 and NCFSE. The Composite Skill Labs will provide practical skills training aligned with industry needs, enhance employment prospects, enable exploration of diverse career pathways, and foster entrepreneurial capabilities among students.
CBSE has mandated that all affiliated schools establish the Labs in the next three years. Schools are required to either create a single composite lab of 600 sq ft for classes VI to XII or two separate labs of 400 sq ft each, for classes VI to X and classes XI and XII, respectively. Biswajit Saha, director of Training and Skill Education at CBSE, emphasises, Promotion of any skill necessitates hands on activities, which can only be effectively carried out in a lab environment. We are promoting skills such as agriculture, and food processing, alongside modern technologies.
In 2018, Manav Rachna International School, Gurugram introduced Composite Skills Labs for classes VI to XII. Principal Sangeeta Kapoor says the Labs helped in skill based education among students whorepresented the school at prestigious events. These Labs provide students with hands on experiences in mass media, design thinking, technology, among other areas, Kapoor adds.
