Assess
We walk your campus, review your current affiliation status and curriculum, and map what's already compliant against what NEP 2020 and CBSE now expect.
An institutional partner for schools & colleges.
Hyderabad / Telangana · Serving Schools & Colleges
High Palm Education And Study Academy partners with schools and colleges to plan, build, and run the programs to implement NEP 2020 — skill labs, career counselling, life-skills education, faculty development, and more. Every program is designed, delivered, and assessed end-to-end by the Learning And Development team of High Palm Education And Study Academy.
Every CBSE school now needs a Composite Skill Lab. We build the whole system around it — one coordinated program, not seven vendors.

Compliance window
In August 2024, CBSE mandated that every affiliated school set up a Composite Skill Lab for classes 6–12, aligned with the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 and the National Curriculum Framework for School Education. Schools seeking fresh CBSE affiliation must have one in place now. Already-affiliated schools have a three-year window from the circular date to comply.
NEP 2020 goes further than labs. Section 4.4 calls for holistic development — not just cognitive learning — which is where health awareness, financial literacy, career guidance, and structured faculty development all become part of what a modern institution is expected to offer, not optional extras.
Most schools don't need another equipment vendor. They need someone who understands the regulation, designs the program around it, and stays on to run it. That's the gap High Palm Education And Study Academy fills.
