  • It enables the critical linkage between the curriculum of schools with the curriculum of Teacher Education as an integral part of the transformative reforms envisioned by the NEP 2020 in the overall Teacher Education sector, thus  enabling rigorous preparation, continuous professional development, and a positive working environment for all our teachers
  • It informs the creation of opportunities for life-long learning for all citizens in the country
