CBSE 2026-27 theme: CT & Understanding AI
Make your school AI-ready —
without replacing teachers.
Twenty-five hours for your teachers, three hours for your leadership team, an orientation for students and parents, and PrepGraph’s voice tutor — in English, and Hinglish (Hindi with English technical terms) — for every child in the programme classes. One school programme, designed around CBSE’s 2026-27 training theme.

Teachers certify on classroom evidence, not attendance.
Where a school usually is
AI has already entered students’ lives. Check which of these your school has:
The technology arrived faster than any policy cycle. Each of these gaps can be closed this term.
-
A responsible-use policy
Written down, and shared with staff and parents.
-
Teacher readiness
Teachers using AI privately, with no shared method.
-
Parent understanding
Parents asking questions the school has not prepared for.
-
Visibility into learning gaps
Marks by chapter, but not which concept a child missed.
-
A structured student AI programme
Curiosity, but no sequence from it to responsible practice.
CBSE’s training theme for 2026-27 is Computational Thinking (CT) and Understanding Artificial Intelligence (AI), and 25 of the 50 CPD hours are the school’s own to organise. The 2026-27 CPD year closes on 31 March 2027; a twelve-week cohort that starts by December finishes inside it. What CBSE asks this year
Independent programme, not a CBSE certification.
PrepGraph Academy is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or accredited by the Central Board of Secondary Education. Certificates are issued by PrepGraph. The programme is designed around the CBSE 2026-27 training theme and the CBSE/NPST professional-development domains; the host school decides how to record the hours under CBSE’s CPD guidelines and keeps the attendance records.
One school programme
Four parts. One school programme.
Bought separately, these are four projects that never quite connect. Run together they are one change.
Leadership
Principal AI leadership
A 3-hour session on governance, policy, data and adoption — so management owns the change.
The leadership sessionTeachers
Teacher training and certification
25 hours across the three CBSE/NPST domains, ending in a practicum and a certificate earned on evidence.
The 25-hour programmeStudents & parents
Student AI learning and responsible-use orientation
Outlines the school runs itself: a responsible-AI orientation, and a parent session at a PTM.
The student orientationThe tutor and the portal
PrepGraph’s voice tutor and teacher portal
A voice tutor — English, and Hinglish (Hindi with English technical terms) — for every child in the programme classes, and the portal where the trained teacher works with forty students: class logs, diagnostics, results by concept.
The School ProgrammeThe school isn’t buying software. It’s running an AI-enabled academic programme with teachers trained to run it.
See it working
Forty students were taught the same concept today.
The teacher records the lesson and sets a short diagnostic — eight to twelve competency questions, not a test. Read the next morning, it maps who is holding which idea: forty students stop being one average.
By the next morning, the teacher can see
- Who understood the concept
- Who understood it only in part
- Which idea each one missed
- What support goes to which student next
AI recommends. Teachers decide. Nothing reaches a student or a parent on its own.
Teach → assess → find the gaps → intervene → reassess → review

Teach
The teacher teaches the chapter as they always have — and records what was covered.

Assess
Students complete a short diagnostic — 8 to 12 competency questions, not a test.

Diagnose
Exactly which concept is weak — and is it really a prerequisite from last year?

Intervene
Named students get named practice — and their AI tutor carries it home.

Students are reassessed on the same competencies.

Teacher review
Who improved? Who still needs help? What needs reteaching in class?
Teacher
Training develops the teacher’s capability. PrepGraph makes that capability practical across forty students.

The CBSE 2026-27 CT & AI guide for schools
The theme and its seven sub-themes, what CT & AI for Classes 3–8 asks of a school, the 50-hour CPD year and where the twenty-five school-based hours come from — eight phone-sized pages, in English, every source linked.
Free · five minutes
How AI-ready is your school? A five-minute self-assessment
Ten questions across eight areas of school AI readiness. It scores your answers and reads none of your school’s data. Your report appears on screen the moment you finish, printable, with its own link to forward.
A readiness score
Across all eight areas — policy, student use, data, teachers, gap visibility, adoption, parents and leadership.
A risk summary
The gaps an inspection or a parent would ask about first.
A 90-day plan
The first three months, in order, with an owner each — and its own link to forward to a trustee.
No cost, and no obligation to enrol.
The teacher programme
25 hours, in three stages
Six hours of values and ethics, eight of knowledge and practice, eleven of professional growth — the shape of the school-based CPD year.

What the school gets
Five audiences, one rollout
Twelve weeks, start to finish, in the school’s own calendar: leadership first, four weeks of taught sessions, four of practicum.
- Teachers 25 hours, a practicum with their own class, certification at Levels 1–3.
- Principal & coordinators The leadership session, the AI policy template, the 12-week plan.
- Students A responsible-AI orientation, then the voice tutor, class group by class group.
- Parents An AI-awareness session the school runs at a PTM, with our outline.
- The school CPD record templates, a weekly clinic, and the activation funnel.
- Students & parents A responsible-AI orientation and a PTM session the school runs itself — set out on the School Programme page.
Plainly, on cost
The tutor your school deploys is the one a parent buys for ₹249 a month; in a school programme a student’s 90-day term is ₹799 (current prices at prepgraph.com/india/pricing). The teacher programme and the leadership session are quoted per cohort, in writing.

Student rollout
Students join class group by class group on the plan the school chooses, with their teachers already trained on the same workflow.

Every class group running the same loop
Where this leads: term after term the school builds its own record of which concepts hold and which need reteaching.
