CBSE class 10 Work Education New Syllabus 2018-19
Rationale
In the National Curriculum Framework (2005) Work Experience has been termed as Work Education and thus makes it an integral component of education. As such it would provide both knowledge and skills through well-structured and graded programmes, which would help them on their entry into the world of work. Work Education is a distinct curricular area for providing children with opportunities for participation in social and economic activities inside and outside the classroom, which would enable them to understand scientific principles and procedures involved in different types of work. The productive manual work situations were to be drawn from the area of health and hygiene, food, shelter, clothing, recreation and community service. The competencies to be developed in this field should include knowledge, understanding, practical skills and values through need based life activities. Pre-vocational courses should get a prominent place at this stage.
Work Education aims at restoring dignity and respect to all types of manual work, promoting self-reliance in meeting one’s daily needs and those of one’s family and community, increasing productivity through the development of proper work skills and values, and promoting commitment to the welfare of the society through suitable programme of social work or community service. This is a two-year syllabus for classes IX and X. It has been designed with following objectives for Students:
Objectives
The major objectives of Work Education at the Secondary stage are:
- To help the students to develop essential knowledge and understanding in terms of:
- identifying needs of the self, family and community in respect of food, health and hygiene, clothing, shelter, recreation and social service;
- acquainting themselves with productive activities in the community;
- understanding facts and scientific principles involved in various forms of work;
- knowing the sources of raw materials and understand the use of tools and equipment in the production of goods and services; understanding the utility of productive work and services to the community;
- understanding the needs of a technologically advancing society in terms of productive processes and skills;
- understanding the processes of planning and organization of productive work;
- conceptualizing their role in productive situations;
- developing abilities for self-evaluation of performance and for entrepreneurship.
- To help the students to develop skills:
- for the selection, procurement, arrangement and use of tools and materials for different forms of productive work;
- to observe, and participate in work practice;
- for the application of problem-solving methods in productive work and social service situations;
- for greater productive efficiency;
- to enhance their working competence sufficiently so as to enable them to earn while they learn;
- to use their creative faculties for devising innovative methods and materials.
- To help the students to develop proper attitude and values in terms of:
- respect for manual work and regard for manual workers;
- socially desirable values such as self-reliance, helpfulness, cooperativeness, teamwork, perseverance, tolerance, etc.
- proper work ethics such as regularity, punctuality, honesty, dedication, discipline, etc.
- self-esteem through achievement in productive work and services;
- a deeper concern for the environment and a sense of belonging, responsibility and commitment for the society;
- strive for excellence.
Course Content
The content of Work Education comprises of three categories, i.e.,
- Self-help Activities: A programme for the satisfaction of day-to day needs of the students and their families.
- Community Out-reach Activities: A programme for sensitization of the students towards their responsibility to satisfy the community needs.
- Pre-vocational Skill Development Activities: This is the most important programme as it is designed to prepare the students for the world of work. However, the actual selection of activities/projects/pre- vocational courses by school would depend upon the availability of natural, physical and human resources in the locality, the socioeconomic background of the community and the needs and interests of the students.
Work education is a distinct curricular area for students for participation in social, economic and welfare activities. Student gets a sense of community service and develops self-reliance. Schools should promote Work Education Activities for holistic development of the student. These activities are to be graded on a 5-point grading scale (AtoE) and will have no descriptive indicators. No upscaling of grades will be done. The grading is to be done by the concerned teacher facilitating the activity.
The total number of periods for performance of the work education activities should be approximately 120 periods for two years at the secondary stage. SECTION WISE WEIGHTAGE IN WORK EDUCATION (for One Academic Year)

- Pre-vocational Skill Development Activities
Work practice at this stage is to take the form of projects with sequential activities in respect of vocations in the production or service sectors. Intensive projects/prevocational courses in diverse need and occupational areas, to be pursued over a span of time ranging from a few months to the entire two-years duration of the Secondary stage, are clearly the answer for this requirement. Such projects/pre-vocational courses are intended to lead to intensive skill formation and proficiency in work which would be conducive to increased productivity and capacity on the part of students to engage in work which enables them to earn while they learn. This emphasis on intensive skill formation is meant to provide a pre-vocational base to the work education programme at this stage and also to serve as ground preparation for the world for those students who terminate their studies after Class X. For those who continue their education at the Senior School Stage, these pre-vocational courses will serve as preparation for vocational courses at the +2 stage.

Suitable tools and material are indicated for these activities. Tasks for the remaining activities/projects/pre-vocational courses can be worked out in similar manner.
Activity 1
Studying the nutrition and health status of people in a village/city slum/tribal area.
The nutrition and health status of the people reflects the present status and future prospects of a country. Enhancement of the nutrition and health status of the people is a first priority of the national planning for development. Study of the factors responsible for the present status of nutrition and health will lead to acquisition of facts on the basis of which proper planning for the enhancement of their status can be made.
Suggested Tasks
- Adoption of a village/city slum/tribal area.
- Preliminary identification of nutritional and health problems of the community.
- Preparation of questionnaire/interview schedule to elicit background and information from family such as:
- General information: head of the family, type of family
- Composition of the family
- Meal pattern of the family
- Monthly expenditure pattern on food, clothing, housing, education, medicine, fuel, transport, saving, remittance of debt, recreation, other items.
- Details of monthly food expenditure.
- Food produced at home.
- Food given under special condition
- Methods of cooking.
- Food items stored in the home

- practicable intervention measures to enhance the nutrition and health status.
Activity 2
Participating in the community health programme through door-to-door contact programmes.
Malnutrition and infection are the major causes of the precarious status of health in the developing world. Malnutrition is not only due to poverty or non-availability of food resulting from social and distributive injustice, but also due to ignorance of nutritional facts and undesirable practices. Malnutrition problems can be resolved to a great extent if judicious selection of food is made possible within economic means and the available foods are better utilized. Infectious diseases are caused mainly by the lingering existence of two fundamental problems of environmental sanitation, mainly unsafe water supply and unhygienic disposal of waste, specially human excreta. The application of modern scientific knowledge to environmental sanitation can lead to 80 per cent of the diseases being effectively controlled.
Thus, by developing desirable nutrition, health and environmental sanitation practices in the communities, health problems can be considerably resolved. This can be achieved through environment based education for all age groups of population. A door to door contact programme is the most effective way of environment based education. Without any nutrition, health and sanitation intervention, the status of nutrition, health and sanitation in the community can be enhanced through functional education by door to door contact.
Suggested Tasks
