Through such an alliance, CIS becomes an official learning partner of the WDC, signaling a new era of learning design in North India.
The MoU was executed by the top-level management such as Philip Thomas, India country head, WDC, and Vanessa Meister, senior fellow, WDC. It reaffirmed the manner in which the leadership for creativity and design would be needed to redefine the future of education.
With this partnership, CIS will be able to reform its education curriculum through the incorporation of the Future Creative Minds Programme—a holistic, global skilling program created by WDC. The program will aim to impart to the students the most critical skills such as design thinking, innovation, problem-solving, data analysis, AI literacy, sustainable behaviors, communication, and ethics.
The area of specialization is in enhancing the CBSE curriculum, and the program also consists of higher-level modules of studies, faculty seminars, and experiential workshops. The students will also receive exposure to international forums, thereby making them familiar with the international world and allowing them to expose their creative skills.
Niyati Chitkara, school education vice-president, said, "This alliance once again demonstrates our vision of graduating students with transformational skills to succeed in an accelerating, fast-changing world economy. As a WDC-accredited learning partner, we look forward to preparing our students to be innovative problem-solvers, innovators, and world-changing makers."
"For students, the program will enrich their portfolios for greater opportunities in post-secondary education, scholarships, and other career opportunities. The collaboration also promotes interdisciplinary thinking, utilizing science, technology, arts, and society, and increased real-world readiness and creativity," she further explained.
