The State is set to organize offline teacher training sessions for educators from lower primary to high school on May 22-23 and May 25-26, 2026. This training is crucial as it addresses the recent updates in textbooks and assessment patterns, which necessitate that teachers are well-prepared for the upcoming academic year. Although a five-day training program is typically held each summer, financial constraints had previously led to considerations for alternative training methods. However, teachers' organizations have strongly advocated for the need for offline training, even if it is limited in duration. This is particularly important as teachers had received training only for part I of the Class X textbooks, leaving part II unaddressed. Additionally, the introduction of revised Class XI textbooks this year underscores the need for teachers to be acquainted with the new content to enhance classroom instruction. The training aligns with the National Education Policy (NEP), which promotes 50 hours of continuous professional development for teachers annually. However, delays in module preparation and resource group training have been attributed to election activities and other administrative tasks.
