CHAPTER 3 : CBSE TEACHERS’ CAPACITY BUILDING PROGRAMMES
Cand school managers as it has a positive and direct impact on students’ learning. Since
long, CBSE conducts several training programmes on various themes. Since 2018, CBSE
has formulated its Teachers’ Training Policy in accordance with its Affiliation Byelaws.

3.1 CBSE Training Policy:

• Though schools run by various state and central government agencies like State
Board, KVS, JNV, etc. are catered through SCERTs, DIETs and respective training units

for organising capacity building programmes, the Board is open to offering them
training programmes/modules/resources, etc.

• For the independent schools affiliated to the Board, the CBSE has established

Centres of Excellence throughout the country to cater to their training needs,
as all independent schools are not capable of undertaking such programmes in
collaboration with state/central government institutes.

• In compliance to the provisions of NCF and RTE-2009, CBSE has amended its
Affiliation Byelaws which in addition to making a minimum of 5 days of in-service
training programmes per year of teachers mandatory (chapter 16 of the

affiliation bye-laws), further stipulates that every School shall remit to the CBSE
such fee for training of teachers and Principals at the CBSE Centers of Excellence as

prescribed by the Board from time to time (clause 16.4.2 of the affiliation bye-laws).
