In collaboration with the National Institute of Education International (NIEi), Singapore, the Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations (CISCE) is preparing to organise the 'School Leadership Training Programme' for principals, headmasters, and headmistresses.

The training programme will be held at CISCE's East Zone Office in Kolkata from July 24-28, 2023, with the goal of providing educational capacities to school principals in order for them to effectively implement the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 in their respective schools.

The 'School Leadership Training Programme' will provide an enriching forum for experts from NIE International, Singapore, and participants to exchange ideas and perspectives on various educational aspects.

Its goal was to provide insights into global and emerging educational trends, as well as an understanding of the impact of NEP 2020 on curriculum and school systems.

The event will be graced by the presence of the Honourable Firhad Hakim, Mayor of Kolkata. Dr G Immanuel, Chairman of the CISCE, will attend the event, as will Executive Committee Members S Jawahar and Stephen DaCosta, as well as CISCE officers Gerry Arathoon (CE&S) and Sangeetha Bhatia (Deputy Secretary, ISC).

CISCE previously hosted the Master Trainers’ Programme for Foundational Literacy and Numeracy (FLN) from April 26-29, 2023.

The four-day training programme, conducted at CISCE’s Delhi office, focused on enhancing the teaching skills of trainers and teachers in foundational literacy and numeracy as part of the National Education Policy (NEP)-2020.

Mr Gerry Arathoon, Chief Executive & Secretary of CISCE said “The collaboration with the National Institute of Education International (NIEi), Singapore, marks a commendable initiative that promises not only quality training but also a transformative impact on educational leaders.

This partnership is poised to bring positive change to school leadership by incorporating insights from global educational trends. Also, we are truly honoured to have Firhad Hakim, the Mayor of Kolkata, as a part of this significant endeavour.”

These initiatives, the 'School Leadership Training Programme' and the Master Trainers' Programme for FLN, reflect CISCE's proactive approach towards promoting educational excellence and ensuring the effective implementation of critical educational reforms outlined in the NEP 2020.

By empowering educational leaders and enhancing teaching skills, CISCE continues to contribute significantly to the advancement of the Indian education system.
