CBSE Update: The Future is Computational
Resource Books for CT & AI (Classes 3rd - 8th)
Overview of Circular No. Acad-18/2026
CBSE is officially leveling up. In alignment with the National Education Policy (NEP) and NCFSE 23, the board is integrating Computational Thinking (CT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) into the curriculum for younger learners. The goal? To ensure every student is AI-literate by the year 2030.
Key Highlights for Schools & Parents
- Integrated Learning: These resource books aren't meant to be standalone textbooks; they are designed as companions to Mathematics, following the same chapter sequences for seamless integration.
- Skill Foundation: Beyond just coding, the curriculum focuses on cybersecurity, pattern identification, and ethical AI considerations like bias and fairness.
- Curriculum Shift: Starting with the 2026-27 session, existing AI courses for Class IX are being discontinued to make way for this new, unified national curriculum.
- A New Teaching Philosophy: Teachers are encouraged to be "facilitators," using a gamified, interactive approach (including AR and VR) rather than just providing solutions.
For classes 9th to 12th, NCERT will be providing specialized modules for internal assessment starting in the 2026-27 session.
