The Central Board of Secondary Education
(CBSE) has launched ‘21st Century Skills: A Handbook’ consisting of learning
skills, life skills and literacy skills. “Simply teaching to test or learning
for exams is not going to help a student face everyday life situations. 21st
Century Skills are key to the empowerment of children and adolescents to deal
with the issues and concerns related to their life. They experience a number of
feelings, many of which are related to their growth and development from childhood
to adolescence and beyond,” the Board has said.
Union Minister Ramesh Pokhriyal 'Nishank'
has tweeted about the book. Students, this book will empower you with learning
skills/transversal competencies for your holistic growth, he has said.
The 21st Century skills are essentially
the outcome of experiential learning, i.e. they are imbibed through observing,
understanding, practising and experiencing, it added.
The Board intends to implement 21st
century skills in the teaching-learning process through core subject areas like
Native Language/Reading, World Language(s) including English, Arts, Geography,
History, Mathematics, Science, Government/Civics and 21st Century Themes like
global awareness, Financial, Economic, Business and Entrepreneurial Literacy
Civic Literacy, Health Literacy and Environmental literacy.
It emphasizes on enhancing the learning
skills of students through critical thinking, creativity & innovation,
collaboration and communication.
The handbook has list of activities.
“These activities can be blended with the subjects during classroom
transaction, or can be conducted in the zero period or integrated with Art and
Sports,” CBSE has said.
