The
Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE), in association with the Sahodaya
School Complexes of Delhi/NCR, recently organized the 4th National Summit on ‘Facilitating
School-to-Work Transition’ on October 26–27, 2026 in New Delhi. Secretary,
Department of School Education and Literacy (DoSEL), Shri T. K. Anil Kumar, and
Chairman, CBSE, Dr. Mandeep Bhandari, were present on the occasion, along with
other senior officials from the Ministry and CBSE.
Speaking
at the Summit, Shri Anil Kumar, outlined four key priorities of the Summit,
namely, technology, digital safety and skills; design, creativity and
innovation; recognition of skills across education systems through the National
Credit Framework; and career guidance with equitable pathways. He called for
seamless transitioning from school education to higher education, skilling and
employment, enabling learners to make informed choices to help them pursue
lifelong growth, contribute to society and live with dignity.
The
two-day Summit aims to strengthen the integration of skill education with
mainstream schooling and facilitate a smoother transition for students from
schools to the world of work. It brings together school leaders, educators,
industry experts and policymakers to deliberate on emerging workforce
requirements and innovative approaches to prepare students for future careers.
The Summit is also providing networking opportunities for the participants to
connect and build partnerships for guidance and support from each other.
The
Summit underscores the importance of breaking down barriers among different
streams of education and equipping students with the competencies required to
navigate an evolving employment landscape, as envisioned in the National
Education Policy (NEP) 2020.
Through
interactive sessions and expert discussions, the Summit is enabling
participants to explore innovative pedagogical practices, emerging assessment
approaches, digital integration in education, and effective models for
strengthening skill education.
As
part of the Summit, educators from CBSE-affiliated schools are presenting
case-based papers and posters highlighting success stories and best practices
in skill education. The Summit will also impart participants with insights on
emerging trends and transformative practices in school education, along with
innovative and practical strategies to enhance teaching-learning processes.
