CBSE's proposed global curriculum to be made available for other international schools

The global curriculum being prepared by CBSE for its foreign schools can also be offered by other international schools as well as those affiliated to the board in India, according to officials. The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) is in process of firming up plans to introduce the curriculum from 2026-27 academic session and a meeting has been called this week to discuss further before a draft is rolled out in public domain.

Last week, Union Education Minister had chaired a meeting where CBSE was directed to prepare a detailed action plan with modalities of establishing and implementing the global curriculum.

"The global curriculum is part of a broader reform plan aligned with the new National Education Policy (NEP) which aims to provide students with greater flexibility and a globally competitive learning experience. The curriculum will be offered by CBSE's foreign schools from 2026-27 academic session.
