 Hello, I welcome you all once again to my channel, Explore Education. I am Dr. Rashmi Singh, Assistant Professor, Department of Education, S.S. Khanna Galsruri College, University of Allahabad. And nowadays I am discussing over the issues of secondary school education, in which I am, this time I am going to discuss, empowerment of secondary school teachers, role of NCRT. You can say role of NCRT in the empowerment of secondary school teachers. The lecture will be in bilingual mode and it is useful for you all. First of all, NCERT. We all have heard a lot of words from our books, from our books, from our books. The word we have heard most of the time is NCERT. NCERT is National Council of Educational Research and Training. So first of all, what is an overall NCERT? So what is the vision of NCERT? To become a center of excellence, concerning research, development and training in the field of school education in the country. That is, NCERT is the vision. It is seen as a school education. In the country, the field of school education wants to become a center of excellence. It wants to become a center of excellence, related to experience, development, and education. That is, in the field of education, NCERT wants to become a center of excellence, through which research, development and training can be done in the field of education. So what is the mission for it? It is the vision that it wants to become a center of excellence. For that, what we do is a mission. So the mission is to improve the quality of school education towards building a society committed to constitutional values and contemporary concerns. It is said that students have to increase the level of education and improve it. And we have to build a society that is committed to your constitutional values, that is, to fulfill the commitment towards them and contemporary concerns. And the problems that we have are related to them. Working towards bringing out improvement in the quality of teacher education in the emerging demand of the school system. Because you are studying NCERT in secondary education, in school education. But even now, when you search for NCERT in the matter, you get a matter on teacher education. You will get a lot of matter on teacher education. So you will feel that NCERT works on school education, so why are you getting it on teacher education? What does teacher education mean? Trainees. Trainees of which? Trainees of B.Ed. Or B.Ed. So who is the B.Ed teacher for? For 6th to 8th, or you can say for 6th to 12th, B.Ed. So mainly 6th to 8th, by the way. So the teacher who is going to prepare for school education is the teacher education. That is why you get this rum somewhere that why is NCERT getting it on teacher education? The teachers who are preparing for school education are preparing for school education. That is why you have to understand this. So this works for whom? Working towards bringing on improvement in the teacher education will improve your school education. Because you will make a good teacher so that you can study in school. The quality of teacher education includes the emerging demands of the school system. That is, the emerging demands of the educational system, the new demands, they want to improve the quality of teacher education in their synchronization. And achieving the goals of universalization of elementary education and quality secondary education. Now that the universalization of secondary education is also happening, so this goal wants to be achieved. What are the objectives for that? What are the objectives of NCERT? It is the goal that it will do research, do research, develop, teach, and do research. For whom will it do research? Promote and conduct educational research, experimentation of innovative ideas and practices. That is, your practice of doing research, promoting it and using all the innovative ideas and practices. In the field of teaching learning. And what do you have to develop? NCF. You know, National Curricular Framework. When we will talk about all these in the future slides, we will do all that in the NEP 2020 slides. Now you cannot talk about the background of those 2020. Now you will not talk about NEP 1986. Why NPE 1986? Why? Because the National Education 2020 has arrived. Even though it has not been applied yet. We have to do everything within the National Education 2020. So when the National Education 2020 came, it said that you make a National Curricular Framework. For school education, for teacher education. Because it has given a huge amount of rights for school education. You will have to make it yours, for teacher education. And you should know that NCE 2023 has arrived. That means National Curricular Framework for School Education 2023. The day you get the chance, I will read it and discuss it with you. You will not get a chance. Because NCE FTE has not arrived. That means the National Curricular Framework for Teacher Education has not arrived. It is not old yet. But it has arrived in 2023. So what do you have to develop NCRT? NCEF, National Curricular Framework for School Education. Which it has done in 2023. To make textbooks. To develop teaching learning materials. To develop kits. To make training models and strategies. To make audio, video and ICT materials. All of this is part of NCRT. For training, you have to teach it. Pre-service and in-service teacher education. That means the people who are in the field of education. Before their service. That means the B-Edge level. And in-service, when they become teachers. Before the service. Then training of national and state level functionaries. And extension. That means collaboration with state, national and international organizations. So this is NCRT. What is NCRT? What else is NCRT? NCRT stands for National. National Council of Educational Research and Training. It was established in 1961 by the Government of India. GOI made it in 1961. Now it was made in 1971. I am so sorry. It is a statutory body in NCRT. It was made in 1971. See, when we didn't have a net. So it is not available in books. NCRT was cut. UGC was cut. So even if we were going through it once. It was very difficult to know. You had to google it. If someone had a laptop or computer. We used to say that when the NCRT was cut. NCRT was cut. UGC was cut. Now you can get any chance in your mobile. You can get any chance in your mobile. So it has become very easy to study. I remember this from 1961. That once we were confused about when to study. NCRT was cut. Then NCRT plays a significant part in influencing the educational landscape of India. NCRT is very influential in India. The following seven existing government organizations were combined to form the NCRT. They are saying that these are the seven government organizations that make NCRT together. Central Institute of Education Central Bureau of Textbook Research Central Bureau of Educational and Vocational Guidance Direct Rate of Extension Program for Secondary Education National Institute of Basic Education National Fundamental Education Center National Institute of Audiovisual Education You don't have to go into detail about it. You just need to know. You just need to know that many government organizations make NCRT together. There are many components of NCRT. Let's move forward. Now, what is NCRT used for? How to buy NCRT? To make a textbook for school education. It has to be given a guideline for curriculum. NCF or National Curricular Framework It has to be trained by a teacher. It has to be researched and developed. Additional learning resources. Additional learning resources. It has to be made by TLM, CAT, Audiovisual. It has to be made by TLM, CAT, Audiovisual. It has to be made by educational policy. Now, what we are going to talk about is our main topic. Empowerment of secondary school teachers. Now, we will know how NCRT works as an empowerment for students or how it increases their quality. Let's come to the topic. So, NEP 2020 has spoken about CPD. What is CPD? Continuous Professional Development of Teachers. NEP 2020 is saying that you should be aware that when we serve, we should pay attention to our professional development. Why? Because what we have studied will get obsolete very quickly. It will get useless very quickly. If we don't get new knowledge, then how will NCRT be able to help school education teachers? See this. NEP 2020 has said that it emphasizes CPD for teachers. It has said that you have to continue to develop professionally. Which teachers? Which head teachers? Which teacher educators? With what purpose? With an aim to provide them adequate opportunities so that we can get the opportunity for self-improvement. So, we can improve ourselves. And to learn about the latest innovations and advancements in their profession. So that in our field, in our profession, the new innovation that is coming and the new things that are coming we can learn from them. What else can we do? The policy also expects them from them to participate in at least 50 hours of CPD every year for their professional development. NEP 2020 has said that every teacher has to live at least 50 hours of continuous professional development. And what should this happen? How will it happen? Driven by their self-interest. In which we are interested you can do that. And with an understanding of the concept of learning as life-long process. And with this understanding we will all be educated teachers. What should we develop? Because the learning is that life-long process. This is the basic philosophy. So keep on studying. Then NCRT offers guidelines for the CPD of the year. So NEP 2020 has said that all teachers have to live at least 50 hours of CPD of the year. What NCRT has done is made a guideline for school education. How it will be of continuous professional development. These guidelines encourage teachers to engage in on-going learning, reflective practices and collaborative professional development activities. This guideline NCRT has made encourages teachers to learn on-going learning. They are involved in reflective practices and collaborative professional development activities. So what will teachers be empowered in this way? Why will they be empowered? Because they will be updated. So this is one way that NCRT updates and empowers teachers. Providing quality and empowered teachers to school system. The work of NCRT is to teach the students to learn on-going learning. So what they are saying is that technology-based comprehensive teacher requirement planning should be done in a forecasting exercise to see how much quality we need in the teacher. So how will teachers develop professional development? Or keep a merit-based and your track system so that we can tell them who is more empowered and who has more quality. Or we can see minimum 50 hours of CPG. So how will you assist who is better, who is more knowledgeable and who is updated. So they are saying that the assessment of performance of teachers will be based on peer reviews, attendance. Generally teachers study well and they have good attendance in their class. How much is the commitment they are showing for their studies? How many hours are they involved in CPG? And other forms of service to the school are developed by state or and based on national professional standard for teachers. What is NPST? National professional standard for teachers. Who has developed it? NCE National Counsel for Teacher Education has made it a national professional standard. You can check how good your teacher is. And a common national professional standard has been developed by NCRT, SCRT and other concerned institutions and with the help of teachers they have made it a NPST. You can check this. How much quality teacher we have. Now after NB 2020 after the present system there will be no talk of ICT initiative. So there are many ICT initiatives for NCRT. So you should know that ICT, SCRT, SCRT SCRT Everything is very interesting. We should know that a platform for showcasing and disseminating all digital and digitized resources for its stakeholders that is students, teachers, teacher educators, researchers, policy planners and parents. It will bridge the digital divide by imparting comparable quality of education and all. So part shala part shala e means everything is electronic. So this platform has made all kinds of digital and digitized resources available for all. So what did they do? They are empowering the teacher that you study and you study material and study. Similarly, there is another platform called DIGSHA. Look at the full form. Digital infrastructure for knowledge sharing. And for knowledge and SHA for sharing. Look at the name. DIGSHA. This is a national platform for school education. It is not for higher education. It is an initiative of NCRT under the Ministry of Education, G.O.I. This is also an initiative of NCRT. MOE, G.O.I. Launched in 2017. Luckily, it was launched before COVID. Because from 2014, digital India is going on. In 2017, DIGSHA launched by Honorable Vice President of India Shri M. Venkaiah Nadu. Look at DIGSHA. Almost all the states, union territories have adopted it. And during the time of COVID, DIGSHA platform was used. There is something new. The Honorable Prime Minister of India has launched NDR. Education in Architect. When did this launch? July 29, 2021. So, it has become even better. Core building blocks of DIGSHA comprised majority of NDR building blocks having enabled some successful use cases of NDR such as energised text books, online courses, content authoring, content sourcing, interactive quizzes, questions. There is a lot. You can google it and you can get everything from DIGSHA. So, this has become DIGSHA Digital Infrastructure for Knowledge Sharing. It is necessary to remember what DIGSHA is. NISTHA. Look at NISTHA. National Initiative for School Heads and Teachers, Holistic Advantage. They are saying that the head of the schools, the teachers, we have to do a holistic advancement. So, NEP 2020 has said that teachers truly shape the future of our children and therefore the motivation and empowerment of teachers is required to ensure the best possible future of our children. If we want a better future of our country, then teachers should be empowered. So, keeping this in mind, to realise the vision of NEP 2020 recently NCRD under the ages of the Ministry of Education, Department of School Education and Literacy, Government of India, in collaboration with State, UTS and Autonomous Bodies have initiated the NISTHA Integrated Training Program 1, 2 and 3 online for different stages of school education. See how much work is being done in school education. That we can educate our children and give them good education and update their knowledge. They can enhance their knowledge and make them a global level. In the secondary level, in which classes 1 to 8 you will get education. For the secondary level 9th to 12th and NISTHA 3 for Nipun Bharat from ECCE to Class 5 Early Childhood and Care Education Early Childhood Care and Education From Class 5 NISTHA 1, 2, 3 Classes 1 to 8 NISTHA 1 Classes 1 to 8 NISTHA 2 Classes 9 to 12 NISTHA 3 from ECCE to Class 5 This is how NTRT is initiated by school heads and teachers. What else? Sarthak and Prangya. When I searched Sarthak is Students and teachers holistic advancement through quality education. The students are saying that it is an implementation plan for the national education policy 2020. NEP 2020 told how to implement it. The department of school education and literacy has developed an indicative and suggestive NEP implementation plan for school education to health states to achieve the goals and objectives of the NEP 2020. In 2020, we will adopt it by 2025. We will achieve this by 2030. This is a suggestive plan and an implementation plan. What we can do and what we can achieve. There are hundreds of pages that you can document. I will go and they have to advance in quality education. This is also a way to empower teachers. NCRT is initiated by ICT and Prangya. In many schools across India, the MHRD has been funding computer labs, smart schemes, etc. 29 states or UTs are already onboarded digital platform. Almost everyone has adopted ICT, slowly but surely many teachers in several states are getting used to integrating ICT in the classroom process. You can say that almost all teachers are using ICT at school education level. What is Prangya? There are 8 steps for implementation of online digital education. They are asking how to use online digital education and Prangya is an abbreviation. Open it and plan how to use online education. Review it. Arrange the material. Guide the students and parents how to use it. Cheat on it. Sign a contract. See how much they are using it and appreciate it later. So online digital education is a way to successfully implement it. They have said plan, review, arrange, guide, talk. If you keep talking, Prangya won't be able to make it. So they have signed a contract and approved it. Okay? So it means taking the NCRT is a school education. For school education, NEP 2020 has also said that you are a good teacher. If the teacher is good, it will be good for children. For that, CPD, professional development, NPST, national professional standard for teachers, NCRT initiatives like Ratsala, Diqa, Nishtha, Sartha, Kragita keep on knowing and understanding and all this is the latest. 2020, 2022, even 2017 all these are the latest things so that we can be a better teacher so that we can get better school education for our students. Okay? So in this way you can cover the role of NCRT in the empowerment of angry school teachers. Okay? So thank you and don't call it a like and subscribe my channel and explore education. I have done from my side.
