CBSE announces STEM education for teachers

The Central Board of Secondary Education on Thursday announced ‘STEM Education’ (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) as theme for its mandatory annual training for the heads and teachers of its schools, a move aimed at enhancing educator’s competence aligned with NEP 2020.

The board’s focus is on empowering teachers with strategies to integrate experiential, inquiry-based and interdisciplinary approaches into classroom practice. Schools have been urged to organise District Level Deliberations on STEM Education with an aim to create localised learning communities.
