Launch of CBSE’s Draft Learning Frameworks of Classes XI-XII For feedback from Principals’ / Teachers’

CBSE/ACAD/JS(PMS)/2023

Date: 13.02.2023

Circular No: Acad-25/2023

All the Heads of Schools Affiliated to CBSE

According to the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, it is critical that children not only learn, but more importantly learn how to learn. The policy recommends shift towards competency-based education (CBE) to close the gap in the achievement of Learning Outcomes. Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has taken several initiatives for the promotion of Competency-Based Education in the schools affiliated to the Board.

In this direction, CBSE -Centre for Excellence in Assessment (CBSE-CEA), in collaboration with Educational Initiatives (Ei), has developed the draft Learning Frameworks of classes XI and XII for 12 subjects – English, Hindi, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, History, Geography, Economics, Accountancy, Business Studies and Computer Science.

The Learning Frameworks comprise explicitly stated knowledge, skills and dispositions that an education system should try to achieve. These frameworks would help develop a universally shared understanding among teachers, students and other stakeholders, and would serve as a benchmark for teaching, learning and assessment across the CBSE schools in the country at Abroad.

These frameworks present indicators that are aligned to the CBSE curriculum and the NCERT learning outcomes. They further outline samples of pedagogical processes and assessment strategies to encourage curiosity, objectivity, creativity with a view to nurture scientific temper. This framework would be a key resource for teachers to implement the curriculum better. The effort has been to synchronize focus on quality education with uniformity in quality of standards across CBSE schools.

CBSE aims to orient teachers to these Frameworks and also collect their valuable feedback towards improving the frameworks that will later get utilized by schools and teachers. Towards this end, the Board will hold a consultation webinar for educators of classes XI-XII across all CBSE schools. The intended objectives of this consultation are to-

• disseminate the Learning Frameworks (classes XI-XII);
• elaborate the need and the objectives for these frameworks;
• familiarize educators with different aspects of the frameworks;
• collect constructive feedback from educators (Principals, Vice-Principals & Subject-teachers)
• address the queries educators may have on the Frameworks.

This program would be organized as an online webinar as per the following details:

• DATE 17th February, 2023 from 4:00-5:00 PM
• Link : https://youtube.com/live/-TYTo_nKX9s?feature=share

All Heads of Schools are requested to encourage their teachers of the concerned subjects to participate in the webinar to avail maximum benefit of this opportunity of knowledge- sharing.
