To help young learners develop 21st century skills and meet the needs of a rapidly evolving world, the Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations released a progressive new curriculum at their annual conference in November 2016.
As per verbal information from School Heads, the new curriculum is effective 2017-18 but implementation is mandated by 2018-19. This futuristic move has been welcomed by the education fraternity and will bring about uniformity in primary and middle schools affiliated to the Council.
