Reiterating the goals of the National Curriculum Framework for School Education (NCF) 2023, the teacher training program is aimed at equipping teachers with techniques that can provide a holistic and authentic learning experience in classrooms. With an emphasis on experiential learning, art integration, cross-curricular and real-life connections, the workshop intended to develop critical thinking, cross-curricular connections, multilingualism, and exercises to promote a sense of rootedness and pride in India.

Sumanta Datta, MD, Oxford University Press India, said, “OUP is committed to promoting language education in India by encouraging students to think in local contexts, embrace their mother tongue, and leverage their multilingual identity to cultivate a broad outlook in life. Our English language coursebooks teach the subject in a manner rooted in the Indian ethos, inspiring pride in our culture and fostering an affinity for English as well as other languages.”

Embodying the core principles of NCF 2023, OUP’s coursebooks have crafted the curriculum which not only empowers learners with knowledge and values but also inspires them to apply their learning effectively, preparing them to be capable 21st-century global citizens. The interactive learning pedagogy of OUP’s coursebooks is aligned with NCF 2023.
