This initiative has been launched in line with the National Education Policy (NEP) and CBSE’s ongoing initiative of Handbook on 21st Century Skills and Employability Skills coursework.

The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has collaborated with the United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund (UNICEF) and YuWaah with an aim to work on life skills development, career guidance, as well as enabling access and engagement of students in volunteering opportunities.

This initiative has been launched in line with the National Education Policy (NEP) and CBSE’s ongoing initiative of Handbook on 21st Century Skills and Employability Skills coursework. Experts wish to move away from rote learning and promote the importance of skills in students.

Passport to Earning initiative for CBSE Students

Under this collaboration, the organisations will now roll out the Passport to Earning (P2E) initiative for CBSE students. Students will be upskilled with key 21st-century skills mapped to CBSE’s employability skills curriculum. Post this experiment, the initiative will then be extended to students all over the country, in addition to teacher training and capacity building to enable the same.

“It also recommends instilling skills in students, right from the school level. Passport to Earning is one of the initiatives supported by the Board toward achieving this goal. In time, we may explore integrating P2E with the Skill Hubs Initiative of the Govt. of India. We, at CBSE, welcome this initiative as it would provide our students an opportunity to learn 21st century skills, which are very relevant in current times, and which will help in shaping them into productive citizens in the future,” said Nidhi Chhibber, Chairperson, CBSE.
