NCERT Annual Report 2018 – 2019 N C E R T Annual Report 2018 –2019 February 2020 Magha 1941 PD 5H BS © National Council of Educational Research and Training, 2020 Published at the Publication Division, by the Secretary, National Council of Educational Research and Training, Sri Aurobindo Marg, New Delhi – 110 016 and printed at Pushpak Press Private Limited, B-3/1, Okhla Industrial Area, Phase-II, New Delhi – 110 020 Foreword The Annual Report presents a glimpse of initiatives undertaken by the National Council of Educational Research and Training for the year 2018–19. NCERT, the apex body working in the area of school education, provides leadership, strengthens the national education system and caters to the needs of the States and UTs. The Council has emerged as a guiding force to buildup a progressive system of education that can help in utilising the human resources as a dividend to the country. The NCERT Annual Report 2018–19, to take its mission forward, provides insights into the concerns, priorities and activities of its constituent units. The Council has undertaken various research studies, development activities, capacity building programmes and extension activities to reach out every child located in the remotest corner of the country. It has brought out the district wise reports of the National Achievement Survey and more than 500 publications, which includes textbooks, workbooks, supplementary readers, teacher guides, laboratory manuals, source books on assessment and educational journals. The Council has further ventured into development of online courses, learning outcomes for the secondary stage, curriculum frameworks for four-year integrated B.Ed, ICT curriculum, vocational education curricular materials, educational media programmes, handbooks for teachers working in special training centres for Out of School Children (OoSC), student workbooks, etc. The NCERT also initiated a live interactive programme ‘Guidance for Students: Exam Helpline’ on its ‘SWAYAM Prabha’ 24×7 educational DTH-TV channel specifically for students appearing for the board examinations. In another unique initiative, the Council developed an integrated teacher training model and partnered with the state of Tripura to reach out to around 31,000 teachers in the State. The Council has extended its outreach in the global arena, collaborating with various multilateral agencies, foreign institutions and countries. In partnership with UNESCO, Asia-Pacific Centre of Education for International Understanding (APCEIU) and Korean Funds-in-Trust Project, the Council organised a Sub-regional Meeting-cum-workshop on ‘Integrating SDG 4.7 and Global Citizenship Education (GCED) into Teacher Training in South Asia’. For NCERT, equipping learners with values, knowledge and skills required for building a sustainable society is not only a moral imperative but also a dimension of quality education. The Council has been providing platforms for dialogue and supporting stakeholders to enhance the implementation of GCED. In nutshell, we have been striving to take our mission forward, collaborating with new partners and working with various ministries, States and organisations. I appreciate the teamwork, dedication and hardwork of my colleagues at various constituents of NCERT across the country for creating an inspiring and innovative environment guiding schools of today in the path of tomorrow. I would like to thank my colleagues in the Planning and Monitoring Division for their contribution in bringing together the Council’s achievements and landmarks for the year in this Annual Report. I am confident that, in the forthcoming year, we will make another leap forward in advocating policy changes and developing the National Curricular Framework. We are in the midst of working on the integrated teacher training model for the entire country, which we intend to implement through extensive stakeholders’ involvement. We have a long way to go and I am confident that with the cooperation of all stakeholders in school education, NCERT will be able to achieve its goal of providing quality education to all children in the country.
