Programme

After the announcement of National Education Policy 2020, the Education Sector is undergoing a transformational change. Focus has been increasing more on employability and technology driven teaching. In one hand this has made the stakeholders in the Education Sector differently on the other hand it has thrown new challenges to them which needs attention on priority basis and needs to be addressed. This is a key aspect in implementation of NEP.

To develop a roadmap addressing the above issues and chalk out the way forward, CII in association with Ministry of Education is organising the seventh edition of School Education Summit with the theme. Integrating Vocational Skills and Digital Tech in School Education: Making a future-ready generation.

In addition to the summit, we were delighted to host the CII Inter-School Quiz Competition on Environment & Sustainability. This engaging competition showcased students' awareness and understanding of crucial environmental issues, fostering a sense of responsibility towards sustainability.
