Gurgaon: The State Council for Educational Research and Training (SCERT) has started an training of teachers on online education content development. The 10-day training has been shifted to online mode due to the recent surge in Covid-19 cases. The training will be conducted via the Telegram app. In a bid to equip the teachers of the state-run schools with digital skills to help evolve the pedagogy, SCERT has designed a special training module. The first phase of the 10-day training programme was rolled out a few days ago. The programme will run into different phases and aims to cover over 3,500 teachers across 22 districts. The state government has allocated around Rs 20 lakh for this training programme.
