India Implements Teacher Capacity Building Programmes

The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) is implementing mandatory Capacity Building Programmes (CBPs) to upskill teachers through subject-specific modules ranging from two-day workshops to 25- or 50-hour engagements. The programmes align with NCF 2015 and NEP 2020, emphasize competency-based assessment (noting ~80% of papers stress reasoning), and aim to foster inclusive, socio-emotional, inquiry-driven classrooms nationwide.
