CBSE International Curriculum
The CBSE-I curriculum is being subscribed by 30 schools in nine countries. It aims to promote critical and creative thinking skills, effective communication skills, interpersonal and collaborative skills and information and media skills.
The CBSE has decided to introduce international curriculum for a few selected schools abroad from the academic session 2010-2011 in classes I and IX.
It provides, inter-alia, flexibility in social science and languages. Other features include perspectives on building opinions, critical thinking module, life skill, research project and community service.
There is no proposal to introduce the international curriculum in the schools in India during 2010-2011.
Updates:
Kapil Sibal will go on a three-day visit to United Arab Emirates from Sunday during which he will formally launch the operation of CBSE International. (May, 21)
The UAE is now launching CBSE-International, in Class 1 and Class 9. We are setting up a whole new system where CBSE will offer an international de course.
Very recently, Kapil Sibal had a meeting with 27 principals of schools from Dubai, Qatar, Muscat, the Gulf and Singapore, who are starting the system from this year. So CBSE-I will be a global brand in the years to come.
International Indian schools in Dammam, Riyadh and Jubail have signed up for a new international student curriculum recommended by India's Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE).
It is of international standard and gives a global perspective to the subjects of study. For example, while the subject of history in the existing syllabus deals mainly with Indian history, the new syllabus will focus on world history. The new curriculum is not simply textbook-oriented. It has been devised to replicate the curriculum of international boards such as the International Baccalaureate.
The new curriculum will help students to compete better at international level.
