After introducing "happiness classes" for children in its schools, the Delhi government is going to have "entrepreneurship curriculum" from the next academic session. The idea behind the curriculum, which will be taught to students from classes 9 to 12, is to encourage students to become "job givers" and not "job seekers".
This is Delhi government's first initiative to introduce "skill based" curriculum in schools. The curriculum will be based on a fourfold framework – inspire, educate, involve and facilitate. Through this curriculum, the effort would be to raise the aspirations of children and build a mindset for problem solving and decision making. Emphasis would be on personality development, communication and planning. The senior faculty members from the State Council of Educational Research and Training will organize a conference in January and will invite organizations, experts, and school principals to present their ideas for the drawing up the entrepreneurship curriculum. Based on the inputs, the curriculum shall be rolled out from April 2019.
