Uttar Pradesh's draft secondary curriculum framework proposes adding artificial intelligence as an optional subject for schools.
The Uttar Pradesh education department has released a draft secondary curriculum framework that proposes the inclusion of artificial intelligence (AI) as an optional subject for schools.
The move is aimed at equipping students with digital literacy and preparing them for a technology-driven future. By offering AI as a choice, schools can cater to students with an interest in emerging technologies while maintaining a balanced curriculum.
The draft is currently under review, and the final decision will determine whether the subject becomes part of the official curriculum. If approved, schools across the state will have the option to integrate AI into their teaching programmes.
