The School Education Department in Telangana is planning to introduce a personality development course in the upcoming academic year. This course aims to improve students’ soft skills, like public speaking and leadership, to prepare them for their future careers. It will cover topics such as gender equality and social issues.
The new curriculum will include activities like personality development courses and social activity classes to give students exposure to the world outside. The department will work with voluntary organizations to implement this initiative. By the third week of May, they hope to finalize the draft and incorporate it into the curriculum.
The course will involve five hours per week, with some classes during regular school hours and others after school. This approach will help students enhance their personality traits and improve their career prospects. The Education Department officials announced this plan during the release of the SSC examination results for 2024 in Hyderabad.
