The CBSE will introduce Artificial Intelligence (AI), Early Childhood Care Education and Yoga as subjects in the 2019-20 academic year and has asked schools to apply for these “skill subjects” to be offered to the students. “There has been an upsurge in the prevalence of Yoga and Early Childhood Education. At the secondary level, there are five compulsory subjects and a “skill” subject may be offered as an additional sixth subject. If we introduce Yoga, there might be many who want to opt for it, which will also be a skill subject,” said principal Anjana Saha. The board has said the application for introducing the skill subjects in the 2019-20 session should be sent by May 31.
