Stage Specific Measures
- I. Foundational Stage (Pre-school & Grades 1-2)
- II. Preparatory Stage (Grades 3-5)
- III. Middle Stage (Grades 6-8)
All schools can dedicate a minimum of 2 hours per week to compulsory tinkering activities. These classes will focus on providing hands-on learning of curriculum topics to students by engaging in experiential learning activities.
School may promote a Self-Organized Learning Environment (SOLE) for students to foster collaboration, innovation, and creativity which requires minimum instructor intervention
To augment student learning with practical insights, professional and real-life entrepreneurs may be invited to conduct classes/lectures either in-person or through the use of technology-enabled solutions.
IIE courses can be introduced as student enrichment programs. Schools may ensure the availability, accessibility, quality, and readership of books across geographies, languages, levels, and genres.
Students may be encouraged to take a course that gives hands-on experience of important vocational crafts, such as carpentry, electric work, metal work, gardening, pottery making, etc.
Activities on 10 bagless days can be designed so that students have an opportunity to intern with local vocational experts such as carpenters, gardeners, potters, artists, etc.
Some of the additional activities that could be taken up by School are
a. Socio-economic innovation challenge programs which mobilize their students to solve various real-life problems, preferably local issues.
b. Competitions that facilitate participation in activities related to IIE.
c. Provide additional enriching course material.
d. Provide specific resources to identified gifted children.
e. Create Network of Mentors Students will be given periodic exposure to activities outside school through visits to places/ monuments of historical, cultural and tourist importance, meeting local artists and craftsmen and visits higher educational institutions in their village/Tehsil/District/State.
Financial Literacy (FL) & Legal Literacy (LL) can be initiated by the SIC through a club/unit/team of qualified teachers and a student’s committee selected after proper screening.
IV. Secondary Stage (Grades 9-12)
All schools can dedicate a minimum of 2 hours per week to compulsory tinkering activities for students.
These classes will focus on providing hands-on learning of curriculum topics to students by engaging in experiential learning activities.
Entrepreneurship and innovation courses can be introduced as student enrichment programs for students. Programme for institutionalizing Summer-Winter internships/live-projects for students can be conceived.
Relevant tie-ups shall be done by schools with local industries to secure internships/ live-projects for all the students.
Students-in-residence program that allows students to undertake part-time internships in startups or engage in entrepreneurship related activities, may also be encouraged by school.
Appropriate weightage can be given to such activities in subject assessments. In order to network all schools, students and teachers, a web portal will be developed by MoE’s Innovation Cell to create an “innovation community” for the free exchange of innovative ideas. This one-stop portal will help students network together.
Schools can register themselves under the ‘School Innovation Council’ (SIC) initiative of MIC.
The SIC will focus on fostering the culture of Innovation ideation and Entrepreneurship in schools.
All the activities that SIC undertakes should encourage the promotion of creativity, design thinking, and critical thinking among students and teachers.
To lead the IIE agenda, the Principal/Head of school shall nominate the staff/ teachers as ‘Innovation Coordinator/SIC convener’.
SIC will have external IIE experts, teachers and even students as members. (More details regarding SIC are available on website https://sic.mic.gov.in/). Critical details regarding School Innovation Council are as under i
