Delayed due to census: Teacher training schedule for CBSE curriculum to end by July 10

Teachers of classes 3 and 4 will undergo a four-day district-level training session between June 18 and 30, followed by a three-day taluka-level session between June 24 and July 4. The responsibility for conducting the training has been entrusted to the District Institute of Education and Training (DIET). Trainee teachers will be organized into batches of 60 teachers each. Instructions have been issued to complete the training in multiple phases as required and to schedule the training in a manner that accommodates teachers assigned to national duties such as the census and voter registration.

Districts have been explicitly instructed to include experienced teachers, lecturers, supervisory officers, and experts who participated in the curriculum development process.

Hemant Vasekar, Director, State Council of Educational Research and Training (SCERT), said, “The plan was to conduct training for the new curriculum during the vacation period, and every effort was made to organize it according to the schedule. However, the training had to be postponed due to census-related work. Now, the training for four grade levels—extending down to the taluka level—will be completed by July 10.”
