The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has introduced Composite Skill Labs in schools to promote hands-on, experiential learning among students. The labs will be mandatory for all CBSE-affiliated schools and will offer skill-based education across Classes 6 to 12 from August 22, 2027. Schools are advised to set up either one composite lab of 600 square feet or two separate labs of 400 square feet each. The skill subjects introduced in these labs will represent three broad areas of work: life forms, machines and materials, and human services. CBSE has encouraged schools to develop infrastructure to make students AI-ready, utilizing existing Atal Tinkering Labs and mechatronics labs if possible. The initiative aims to foster entrepreneurial thinking and equip students to generate employment in the future.
