School students to get platform to test their coding
Panaji:
As part of the Coding and Robotics Education in Schools (CARES) Scheme, during the academic year 2025-26, students will get access to a user-friendly coding platform, GOVIN IDE, developed in-house.
On the platform, children will be able to write, test, and deploy code for their projects. This integration gives students early access to industry-relevant tools in a school setting, providing them with a deeper understanding of robotics and embedded systems, said Vijay Borges, the project director of the special cell created at the directorate of technical education for the implementation of CM-CARES.
He said students will also get to use a robotics hardware kit designed in-house.
These initiatives are for students who have opted to learn the advanced curriculum of coding and robotics as an elective subject after school hours.
This year, the elective curriculum is being implemented across 206 lead schools and for over 17,000 students, with a focused rollout for students of classes VI, VII, and VIII.
Lead schools are where the elective subject classes are held for students who have opted to learn the advanced curriculum, beyond the coding and robotics curriculum taught as a school subject.

'Aligned with the National Education Policy, 2020, the curriculum places strong emphasis on hands-on learning, critical thinking, and applied technology,' Borges said. 'The elective modules introduced in the CARES curriculum for 2025-2026 will also include practical exposure and socially conscious learning via community innovation projects.'
With project-based assessments, the elective curriculum also aims to build life skills like teamwork, communication, and creativity, he said. In Goa, robotics and coding were made a part of the Class VI to VIII curriculum for 65,000 students studying in 435 govt and aided schools.
From the academic year 2022-23, the state took the scheme a step further and offered an advanced curriculum to be taught after school hours to students with further interest and talent in robotics and coding.
