CBSE to Introduce Education Podcasts; Schools to Recommend Students from Classes 9–12

The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) is going to introduce educational podcasts and online content to assist students, parents, and schools with academic-related issues as well as counseling issues. The move will present helpful tips on academics, examinations, mental health, and student welfare.

Under CBSE, the content will be hosted in the public domain like YouTube so that it can be made easily available to a larger cohort of individuals. The board clarified that these materials are meant to supplement its existing scholastic and counseling support services by providing a flexible, web-based means of communication. 

Student Participation in Content Development

In studentizing the initiative, CBSE will engage students of Classes IX-XII in content generation. They will be given voice in brief video or audio interactions, testimonials, and discussions, which will be utilized in CBSE's official podcasts, social media updates, and other online media.

The board informed that their involvement will make the content more realistic and enable more interaction with educational discourse.

Schools Requested to Nominate Students

CBSE has asked affiliated schools to nominate deserving and confident students who are interested to take part. Schools are required to put forward the names and brief profiles of deserving students through the Google Form link issued in the official circular. Submission within ten days from the notice issue date is required.

The activity will be voluntary and will be followed by the written agreement of parents/guardians, through the concerned schools.

Besides organizing workshops in five cities, CBSE will also assist parents in applying the parenting calendar and better manage the academic, social, and emotional needs of children. This will not only simplify the academic process for students but also create a robust ecosystem of mental health literacy, parental engagement, and online presence.
