The government’s schemes with too many restrictions to make them truly inclusive by focusing only on the target groups often become utterly counterproductive.
Following a change in the school syllabus with the introduction of the NCERT books in Jammu and Kashmir, 86,000 government school teachers will be trained in imparting quality education at the primary and elementary levels.
500 teachers were last week trained as Key Resource Persons (KRPs) by the experts of the NCERT. The State Intuition of Education (SIE) Kashmir and Jammu will be organizing the programme across Jammu and Kashmir wherein the KRPs will train 86,000 Teachers and Head Teachers at primary and elementary levels.
Educationists in the UT believe that NISHTHA would be a milestone in the capacity building of teachers to achieve the goals of imparting quality education.
