The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) collaborated with British Council, the UK’s international organisation for cultural relations and educational opportunities, to organise a landmark School education conference.
This two-day conference was conducted with the aim of exploring and sharing knowledge on innovative teaching methodologies for school education across India. It was inaugurated by Sanjay Kumar, Secretary School Education and attended by representatives and policy makers from 300 schools and educational institutions, state and central government and apex body leaders, including the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE), National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT), National Council for Teacher Education (NCTE), National Institute of Educational Planning and Administration (NIEPA), National Curriculum Framework Committee (NCF) and school boards from across the country.
The sessions centered on the orientation of school leaders and expert practitioners on resources available to students and teachers which can enhance their teaching, learning and assessment. As part of the conference, the master classes were delivered by trainers from various groups such as the Jane Goodall Foundation, Premier League, Micro:Bit Foundation, Alpha Plus, Cambridge University Press and Assessments (CUPA) and CBSE.
Cambridge University Press and Assessment also shared findings and recommendations from the scoping study – ‘Recommendations for strengthening pedagogy and assessment of practical teaching in classes 5-10’, which analysed the teaching and learning of science, maths, social science, and languages in CBSE schools in India, to develop the use of high quality hands-on practical and field work activities as a key component of experiential learning.
