Samagra Shiksha Framework Teacher Training Agency

The Samagra Shiksha Framework is a comprehensive scheme integrating school education from pre-school to senior secondary levels. A crucial aspect of this framework is ensuring continuous professional development for teachers through in-service training programs.

Within the states, specific agencies are assigned the responsibility of coordinating and executing these training initiatives. Under the Samagra Shiksha Framework, the State Council of Educational Research and Training (SCERT) is designated as the nodal agency responsible for planning, implementing, and monitoring in-service teacher training programs.

While other institutions like DIET (District Institute of Education and Training), IASE (Institute of Advanced Study in Education), and RIE (Regional Institute of Education) contribute significantly to teacher education and training, the SCERT serves as the apex body at the state level for coordinating these specific in-service training activities under the national framework.

Therefore, SCERT acts as the key coordinating and implementing agency for in-service teacher training in the states.
