CBSE Organises 4th National Summit on Facilitating School-to-Work Transition in New Delhi

The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE), in association with the Sahodaya School Complexes of Delhi/NCR, is organising the 4th National Summit on ‘Facilitating School-to-Work Transition’ on October 26–27 in New Delhi. 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.

Secretary, Department of School Education and Literacy (DoSEL), T. K. Anil Kumar, and Chairman, CBSE, Dr. Mandeep Bhandari, were present on the occasion, along with other senior officials from the Education Ministry and CBSE.

Speaking at the Summit, Anil Kumar outlined four key priorities: 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 Summit brings together school leaders, educators, industry experts and policymakers to deliberate on emerging workforce requirements and innovative approaches to prepare students for future careers, according to a press release by the Ministry of Education. It is also providing networking opportunities for 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.
