The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has invited affiliated schools to nominate students for participation in its upcoming in-house podcasts and social media programs focused on creating engaging educational content.
As per the circular, schools have been asked to identify confident, articulate, and interested students of Classes 9-12 to participate in CBSE's digital initiatives. Such students will be provided an opportunity to appear in podcasts and social media content developed by the Board.
The program is an extension of CBSE's overall strategy to scale up its digital reach through in-house podcasts and videos on educational concerns, counselling guidance, and awareness campaigns. Most of these podcasts are already present on YouTube and other social media channels and provide useful advice to students, parents, and educators.
By engaging students directly, CBSE aims to make its content more accessible and engaging and also to inculcate digital confidence among school children.
