The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has released an important notice and guidelines regarding Art Integrated Project Work for Class 1 to 10 Students with the pairing of States and Union Territories.
The CBSE introduced Art Integrated Learning in all its affiliated schools in 2019 as a pedagogical initiative. Later, the board introduced mandatory Art Integrated Project Work for Classes 1 to 10, as part of subject-enrichment activities under Internal Assessment.
As per the CBSE, the projects taken up by students should be age-appropriate and enable them to be developed as independent thinkers and learners.
Similarly, at least one Art-Integrated Project in each subject shall be taken up by all students of Classes 9 and 10. For Classes 9 and 10, the art-integrated project work will be assessed as part of the subject enrichment activity in all the subjects for internal assessment.
Students of Classes 1 to 8 will also be encouraged to take at least one age-appropriate Art-Integrated Project (interdisciplinary project) in a given academic year.
The project work can include more than one subject and this can be considered for Internal Assessment in the subjects concerned.
Projects for the students of Classes 1 to 2 shall be in compliance with National Curriculum Framework for Foundational Stage (NCFFS) 2020.
