About:
- The CBSE is introducing artificial intelligence as an optional 6th subject at Class IX from the session 2019-2020 onwards. To sensitise the new generation, it was also decided that schools may start AI "inspire module" of 12 hours at Class VIII itself.
- The board has also decided to introduce yoga and early childhood education as elective subjects at senior secondary level. The decision was taken considering the huge requirement of yoga professionals and early childhood educators.
Norms for Skill subjects:
- As per norms, a skill subject, at secondary level, may be offered as additional sixth subject along with the existing five compulsory subjects.
- And if a student fails in any one of the three elective subjects (science, mathematics and social science), then it will be replaced by the skill subject (offered as a 6th subject) and result of Class X will be computed based on best five subjects.
- However, if a student desires to reappear in the failed subject, he or she may appear along with the compartment examination.
