This series has been revised to meet the requirements of the latest CISCE curriculum. It is a holistic course that is designed to inculcate in the learners an appreciation for literature; proficiency in the four skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing (LSRW); and also a spirit of enquiry and lifelong learning. The course integrates tenets of the NEP 2020 to focus on 21st century skills, value integration, art integration, and life competencies such as critical thinking, and teamwork and collaboration. This is to empower students to become lifelong learners and critical thinkers.
