Now even a third class child in school will understand AI before using a mobile. Actually, the Education Ministry has taken such a decision, which is expected to bring changes in the education system. Let us tell you that now Artificial Intelligence (AI) will be taught from class 3 itself. This means that children who are currently learning ABCD will soon start understanding how a robot thinks. How machines talk and how technology can make the world better.
What is the planning of the Education Ministry?
According to the Department of School Education and Literacy (DoSE&L) of the Ministry of Education, in today’s world AI is not just technology but the basis of the future. If children understand this from the beginning, not only will their thinking increase, but they will also become expert in making new things.
What is this new course?
This project has been named AI & Computational Thinking (AI & CT). In simple language, this course will teach children to think, understand and solve problems with the help of technology. For example, if a child is asked how to operate a robot, he will not only learn to press buttons, but will also understand what is going on inside the robot. The ministry has clearly said that AI will be taught to be used not just for profit but for the good of the society.
When will it start?
- This course will be implemented in schools across the country from the 2026-27 session.
- It will start from class 3, then it will increase by one class every year.
- Books, handbooks, videos and digital materials will be ready by December 2025.
- Training of teachers has also started through NISHTHA and other institutions.
Who is making the course?
CBSE, NCERT, KVS, NVS and all the state governments are working together to prepare this entire project, but the most important thing is that the command of the course is in the hands of Professor Karthik Raman of IIT Madras. A special expert team is preparing the curriculum under his leadership. This course is being prepared according to the National Education Policy (NEP 2020) and National Curriculum Framework (NCF SE 2023).
Why is this step necessary?
Today India’s technology sector is on its way to becoming number one in the world. India’s AI market is expected to reach $17 billion by 2025, and will cross $100 billion by 2030. The Education Ministry believes that if children learn AI from now on, they will become creators and not just users. There will be opportunities for new jobs like AI Engineer, Data Scientist, Robotics Expert. Technology will reach every village.
