CBSE establishes 16 Centres of Excellence for in-service training of teachers in all affiliated schools

CBSE has established 16 Centres of Excellence in different parts of the country with focus on In-service Training of teachers of all CBSE affiliated schools. COEs conduct Training under two categories: generic and subject specific. There are 23 training courses aligned with classes 10 and 12 subjects while there are 22 generic courses ranging from adolescent education program, art integration, inclusive education, happy classrooms, cyber safety and security and more. 

Recently 124 secondary and senior secondary government schools in Ladakh, UT have been affiliated with CBSE. A total of 1000 Government schools in Andhra Pradesh have also come under the fold of CBSE. 

The National Education Policy 2020 recommends that every school should ensure participation of all its teachers in at least 50 hours of



Continuous Professional Development (CPD). 

A high powered Committee was set up by CBSE to advise providing quality training to such teachers. Each State/UT/Body will develop a centralized Annual Training Calendar beginning from April to March with their specific requirements for training. It will be ensured that each Government teacher receives a minimum of 25 hours training organized by the Board/State Government or Government/Regional Teacher’s Training Institutions and remaining 25 hours of CPD shall be arranged by the school itself. 

All modalities of teachers training have been finalized in partnership with the State Governments and UTs which will sponsor and make online registration for  teachers trainings from their Government, Government Aided and PPP schools on CBSE training portal.
