The modern education system has been designed to allow a child to move beyond traditional rote learning in order to develop their own intellect and inculcate conceptual thinking and decision-making abilities in tomorrow’s leaders. After all, the school is the main source of information for students. As a result, school serves as the first most important counselling platform for students to learn about the workings of life.
Furthermore, if you are currently in high school, you are at a crucial stage in your life when you are old enough to begin thinking about your future and creating an action plan. Students need career assistance in order to explore and plan for future career pursuits that are suited to their particular interests, talents, and beliefs. Participation in career guidance helps career preparation and management by strengthening the relationship between academic and professional experiences.
Parent counselling is a caring and compassionate service that aims to provide knowledge, guidance, resources, and emotional support. Parent counselling provides the skills to recognise concerns that your child may be experiencing and the communication skills to assist your child without humiliating them for seeking support. The 6th grade is the start of a future career. It’s the perfect time to inspire your child to follow their dreams and develop the skills they require. It’s only natural for 6th graders to seek career guidance. One of the most crucial milestones in an individual’s life is career choice, which requires self-analysis, critical thinking, and decision-making.

It’s only natural for 6th graders to seek career guidance. One of the most crucial milestones in an individual’s life is career choice, which requires self-analysis, critical thinking, and decision-making.

Competitive exams are now at the core of our educational system. Students and their parents search for important information concerning competitive tests. Most students and parents believe that competitive exams are only held for students in grades 12 and up, although this is not the case. Even for students in class 6, there are a variety of competitive tests and scholarship programmes available. These competitive exams are held to assess a student's mental ability and intelligence quotient, with those who pass receiving a scholarship. For benefit, every student and their parents must get familiar with such competitive exams, as awareness is the first step toward preparedness. Class 6 Olympiad exams serve as a foundation for competitive tests. Parents must provide their children with a solid foundation in the form of these exams. In comparison to prior classes, students in class 6 are expected to solve more questions.
The following are some of the competitive tests that grade 6 students may take:
Learning from the real world allows students to engage in a variety of activities while learning. They can apply what they’ve learned in class to real-life situations both inside and beyond the classroom. When Class 6 students experience things and subject matter from real-life experience, they will be able to express their concerns and rights, gain self-esteem and confidence, and acquire the ability to accept responsibility for themselves.
Coding
Coding, often known as computer programming, is a creative process with limitless possibilities. Different programming languages can be learned to help people succeed in their lives. Some of the programming languages are Java, C, C++, Python, C#, etc.
DIY
DIY activities are basic activities that students can do on their own to learn how to construct models or expand their knowledge of a subject. The Embibe app provides DIY for every grade, subject, and chapter to make learning interesting and purposeful.
IoT
Internet of Things (IoT) connects digital devices, people, machines, appliances, and other objects via wireless networks. It is the link that allows machines and people to communicate with one another. It is thought to be the internet’s future. Smart surveillance, automated transportation, water distribution, improved energy management systems, urban security, and environmental monitoring are examples of internet of things applications primarily used in smart cities. As part of its new endeavour, Delhi Board intends to teach children the fundamentals of IoT.
From Class 6 onwards, students will be offered skill courses or vocational subjects. When students reach class 11 or 12, they will have the required knowledge to make a career decision. The vocational skill course will be a short-duration module, and teachers will only have to devote 12 hours of teaching time to it. Skill courses will be introduced from grades VI to XI in the 2020-21 school year, according to a CBSE circular dated July 7, 2020. The different skill courses are:
