The Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations (CISCE) has begun shortlisting pilot schools to implement a revamped curriculum up to Class VIII, aimed at bringing real-life experiences into classroom learning. Around 30 schools from Bengal are expected to be part of the cohort of 250 schools selected from across the country, CISCE chief executive and secretary Joseph Emmanuel told Metro. ADVERTISEMENTSome city schools have already received emails from the council informing them of their selection for the pilot. The letter added that the school had been “provisionally selected to pilot the CISCE Curriculum Transactional Project 2026-27”. It has to be ensured that schools from different regions participate in the project, and strategies need to be developed accordingly to scale it up,” Emmanuel told Metro.
