In line with the recommendations of the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has launched 14 new Capacity Building Programmes (CBPs) to enhance Continuous Professional Development (CPD) of teachers. These programmes were officially released at the National Teachers Conference-2025 in Patna.
The CBPs cover a wide range of subjects and competencies, offering structured training manuals, session plans, and pedagogical strategies. They are designed to simplify concepts, foster critical thinking, and promote practical classroom applications. All affiliated schools are requested to disseminate this information to their teachers. The programmes will be available from October 2025 onwards through CBSE’s Prashikshan Triveni platform and Centres of Excellence.
Highlights of the CBPs:
- Subject-Specific CBPs: Hindi, Sanskrit, Painting, Social Science, Science, Mathematics, English, Economics.
- Competency-Based Assessment (CBA) Programs: Middle and Secondary stages for subjects including Mathematics, Social Science, Science, Hindi, and English.
- Generic CBPs: Value Education Through Sports and STEM Education in Teaching and Learning, designed for educators across all grades.
- Focus Areas: Knowledge & practice, learner-centric pedagogy, critical thinking, real-world applications, creative and interdisciplinary teaching aligned with NEP 2020 and NCF-SE 2023.
These programmes aim to strengthen teaching practices, enrich classroom experiences, and ensure holistic teacher development.
