📘 As envisioned in #NEP2020 and in alignment with the National Curriculum Framework for School Education (NCF-SE) 2023, @cbseindia29 has advised all affiliated schools to adopt the new competency-based textbooks introduced by @ncert for Grades 4, 5, 7 and 8 for the academic session 2025–26.
To facilitate a smooth transition to the new curriculum, CBSE has also directed schools to implement Bridge Programmes for Classes 5, 6 and 8 from 1st April 2025. These programmes have been aimed at fostering playful, activity-based learning and encourage integration of arts, physical education, well-being and skill education across subjects, helping students adapt to the new pedagogical approach.
To support this major shift, capacity-building programmes for key resource persons of CBSE, KVS and NVS are being conducted in an online mode.

Some of the top Engineering Schools have very less load on the professors. They are generally expected to teach for just three hours a week and they don’t teach close to 3 months in a year. They have many TAs to work for them and handle their lab. A genuine question. What are they expected to do outside this time?
There’s plenty of things that a teacher should work on:
1.Continuously refine examples, analogies, and anecdotes. Even when teaching the same subject, lecture notes deserve a thoughtful update.
2. Design problem sets that aren’t trivially solvable by GenAI, yet use it meaningfully. This is tough and demands real effort. A rich, curated question bank is something every student values.
3.Shift toward project-based learning (PBL) wherever possible.
4.Engage regularly with students. When a teacher is approachable and effective, students genuinely seek their time.
5.Interact with industry to bring long-overdue curriculum updates. ACM guidelines and WA often go stale before adoption — treat them as references, not scriptures.
6.Actively connect with the job market to help students land strong internships.
7.Dedicate 20% of one’s time to upskilling students based on market needs — evenings or weekends work fine.
8. Work towards Research and Development that reaches translation eventually.
