About NCERT
The National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) was established in 1961 to provide academic support in improving the quality of school education in India.
Course Details
This programme is meant to professionalise the school activities. NCERT as a part of its mandate develops national curriculum framework, model syllabi, textbooks and other curricular materials. Since 1960s, different strategies were followed to develop these materials. NCERT also works with SCERTs in curricular material development activities. Most curricular material developers learn the art of development of curricular materials through on-the-job training.
