The courses are designed to meet some of the goals set out in India’s New National Education Policy (NEP) and to help teachers teach English, the Delhi government said in a statement.

This new initiative will also include hands-on experience with new technologies in the classroom and will help teachers deal with some of the challenges related to the COVID-19 pandemic they currently face, the statement read.
