The new educational policy required that each school make sure that all of its teachers participate in at least 50 hours of CPD (CPD). “As also mandated in CBSE Bye-laws, each teacher is expected to participate in at least 25 hours of training programs conducted by the Board in a year and rest from other sources to be arranged by Education Departments of concerned States/UTs,” the CBSE Board said in its latest circular.

CBSE begins special drive for teacher training in line with NEP 2020

The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has started a special drive for Continuous Professional Development (CPD) for teachers from CBSE-affiliated government and government-aided schools in line with the National Education Policy (NEP 2020).

The new educational policy required that each school make sure that all of its teachers participate in at least 50 hours of CPD (CPD). “As also mandated in CBSE Bye-laws, each teacher is expected to participate in at least 25 hours of training programs conducted by the Board in a year and rest from other sources to be arranged by Education Departments of concerned States/UTs,” the CBSE Board said in its latest circular.

With a focus on providing teachers with in-service training, the board has established 16 Centers of Excellence across the nation. There are two types of teacher preparation programmes: general and subject-specific. “There are 23 training courses aligned with Classes 10 and 12 subjects while there are 22 generic courses ranging from adolescent education programme, art integration, inclusive education, happy classrooms, cyber safety and security and more,” the board said.

As more government, government-aided, and public-private partnerships schools join the CBSE, the organisation established a powerful committee to advise on how to give instructors high-quality training. Recently, 1,000 government schools in Andhra Pradesh and 124 secondary and senior secondary government schools in Ladakh, Union Territory, became affiliated with the CBSE.

The board has decided to offer training programmes to all such teachers commencing in April 2023 in accordance with the committee's suggestion.

“Each state, UT will develop a centralized annual training calendar beginning from April to March with their specific requirements for training. It will be ensured that each government teacher receives a minimum of 25 hours training organized by the Board, state government or government/ Regional Teacher’s Training Institutions and remaining 25 hours of CPD shall be arranged by the school itself,” the CBSE added.
