In a significant initiative aimed at enhancing educational counselling capabilities across the country, the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has announced a series of Online Capacity Building Programmes (CBPs) for counsellors and teachers. Aligned with the objectives outlined in the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, these programs underscore the key role of comprehensive counselling in shaping students’ academic and personal growth.
The CBPs are designed to elevate the knowledge and skills of educators in key areas such as career counselling and psychosocial support. Participants will gain insights to help students explore career options, set achievable goals, and plan for future success.
“Recognising the critical role of counselling in students’ overall development, our expert resource persons will provide guidance and educational advice on relevant topics, ensuring participants gain valuable insights and practical knowledge,” the CBSE said in an official release.
“We encourage all counsellors and teachers to take advantage of this opportunity to deepen their professional expertise under NEP 2020 guidelines,” it added.
