Capacity Building Training Programmes (CBPs)

The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) strongly emphasizes Capacity Building Training Programmes (CBPs) for teachers as a core component of educational reform and quality assurance. In a rapidly changing world, the role of a teacher has expanded beyond content delivery to that of a facilitator, mentor, and lifelong learner. CBSE recognizes that to effectively implement its competency-based curriculum, experiential learning approaches, and assessment reforms, teachers must be continuously upskilled. Capacity building programmes help teachers align with CBSE’s vision of holistic education by strengthening their pedagogical skills, subject knowledge, classroom management strategies, and understanding of learner-centric education.

Capacity Building Training Programmes add significant value to the education system by ensuring uniformity, quality, and innovation in teaching practices across CBSE-affiliated schools. These programmes expose teachers to modern teaching methodologies such as experiential learning, art-integrated learning, ICT integration, inclusive education, and competency-based assessments. As a result, teachers become more confident and reflective practitioners who can address diverse learning needs, promote critical thinking, and nurture creativity among students. Well-trained teachers are better equipped to implement national education priorities, including values education, life skills, and 21st-century competencies.

Moreover, CBSE’s focus on capacity building contributes to the overall improvement of the education ecosystem. Continuous professional development fosters a culture of lifelong learning among teachers, which directly impacts student engagement and academic outcomes. When teachers are empowered with updated knowledge and skills, classrooms become more interactive, inclusive, and meaningful. Ultimately, Capacity Building Training Programmes ensure that the education system remains dynamic, future-ready, and capable of preparing students not just for examinations, but for responsible citizenship and lifelong success.
