[LIS-Forum] Library and Information Resource Management (LIRM) as CBSE Vocational Course: Scheme of Studies and Syllabus

[faisal sl]

Dear All,

The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE), Govt of India, has been
offering 40 Vocational Courses in different sectors at Senior Secondary
Level and 4 vocational courses at Secondary level. A student can choose to
avail competency based skill learning along with general education in order
to enhance the skills in the chosen field.

The vocational education envisions imparting the procedural knowledge and
skills to the students that will enable students to excel and emerge
successful in real life situation of both work and life. It works towards
imparting an education that is holistic, meaningful and skill oriented
which instils among the youth a sense of usefulness and responsibility.

As per the new circular No. Acad-07/2013, dated 17 Jan. 2013, and other
related documents, the Vocational Course which was earlier named as
"Library Management" has been now redesigned as "Library and Information
Resource Management" (LIRM). The affiliated schools can choose and offer
one or more of these competency based courses in Senior Secondary level
(Class XI and XII) from the academic session 2013-14.
