Skill subjects under Skill Education

Equipping the children with the skills requisite for the real world is a major component of education. At Shalom we believe that in the changing dynamics of the world, imparting skill education to our children is imperative. The practical implications of strengthening the skills in the real world are undeniable. It is with the purpose of reinforcing confidence, developing personality and ensuring future readiness of the children that skill education is imparted to the children through the CBSE initiated Skill subjects.
CBSE offers students the flexibility of making a vocational choice of a short duration module, of 12 hours for each module, at a stage in their early academic career (either at Class VI, VII or VIII). In this way they will be able to spend relevant time period pursuing this choice as per convenience of school, while benefitting from access to courses that are broader based. This would give them the necessary orientation early on, so that they are able to make a choice at a later stage to pursue Skill courses at Secondary and Senior Secondary level, or choose a higher vocational degree. In essence this flexibility will keep multiple career possibilities open for each student, instead of the current situation of rigidity once the first choice is made.

At Shalom the following Skill Modules are being offered for students:

1. Artificial Intelligence
2. Beauty & Wellness
3. Design Thinking
4. Financial Literacy
5. Handicrafts
6. Information Technology
7. Marketing/ Commercial Application
8. Mass Media
9. Travel & Tourism
10. Data Science

OBJECTIVES:

The main objective of these modules is to develop a readiness for understanding and appreciating the various skills and their application in our lives. The inclusion of the skill subjects will not only upgrade the proficiency of the upcoming generation but also widen their career prospects.
