Canva has partnered with the National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) to provide free training and certification programs for educators across India. These courses will be hosted on the Ministry of Education’s DIKSHA platform and align with the vision of the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020.
Through this collaboration, teachers will gain free access to Canva’s education suite, which is specially designed for visual and collaborative teaching. The program includes training modules that help educators use Canva’s tools to design creative lesson plans, interactive infographics, and dynamic classroom presentations. Teachers will also explore how to use AI features to improve content creation and foster deeper student engagement.
NCERT will ensure the training material is aligned with national curriculum standards and made available in several Indian languages. To ensure broader reach, especially in regions with limited internet access, the content will also be broadcast via PM e-Vidya DTH channels.
Upon successful completion, teachers will receive a jointly issued certificate from NCERT and Canva, adding value to their professional development.
