CBSE New Courses in 2011

The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) is set to open courses in media, films, geospatial studies and food & beverages affiliated schools in India and abroad to courses this year.

The aforesaid courses were introduced in few selected schools in class XI from the academic session 2010-11 on pilot basis. Based on the feedback received and on the basis of the overwhelming response from the other independent schools, the CBSE has decided to open it to all affiliated schools in the country and abroad from the academic session 2011-12 for class-XI, the CBSE has said in a circular issued to its schools.

The CBSE had last year signed an agreement with Subhash Ghai’s Whistling Woods Institute and Rolta India for courses in mass media and geospatial practices, respectively. The two institutes are helping train teachers and develop curriculum.
