The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) to train and upgrade the skills of teachers and students in CBSE affiliated schools.
CBSE President Manoj Ahuja, speaking about the signed letter of intent, said that the collaboration between CBSE and AICTE will be long to allow students, who have been sensitized to emerging fields of technology, to get the proper advice.
AICTE President Anil D Daharsabuddhe said AICTE’s digital learning platforms should transform the way students have learned so far.
As part of this program, CBSE and AICTE will initiate teacher training programs in CBSE schools, among others at the AICTE Academy for Training and Learning (ATAL), the National Alliance for Technology Education (NEAT).
