The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has introduced three new courses for the current academic session 2010-11 for class XI and XII students. These include Mass Media Studies (academic/vocational), Geospatial Practices (vocational) and Hotel Management and Catering Technology (Vocational).
A MoU to offer Hotel Management and Catering Technology courses in CBSE schools was signed between the National Council for Hotel Management & Catering Technology (NCHMCT) and CBSE recently. 26 CBSE schools have opted for this vocational course, which has started as a pilot project.
These schools include Kendriya Vidyalayas, Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalayas, schools of Delhi Government and schools of Central Tibetan School Administration.
CBSE and NCHMCT will jointly certify the programme. The agreed format between the two shall be used for reflecting marks/grades as the case may be, obtained by the student in examinations conducted by CBSE. Also, the CBSE shall finalise the matters of course design, updation, training of teachers, skill development of students, conducting practical and theory examinations etc in consultation with NCHMCT whenever required.
The course in mass media studies will be offered in 20 schools as of now, and CBSE has tied up with Whistling Woods International for this course. Similarly, it has tied up with Rolta India Ltd for the Geospatial Practices course, which will be offered in 13 schools, to begin with. These private partners will provide not only the curriculum support to CBSE but will also impart training to teachers.
