Bihar government teachers to train abroad to learn modern teaching methods

The Bihar government plans to send selected government school teachers abroad to study modern education systems, curricula and classroom techniques, so that the best practices can be brought back to the state’s schools.

The Education Department will begin framing selection criteria after Chhath and will also decide which countries the teachers will visit. Selection will be merit-based, with marks for academic qualifications, involvement in school activities and creative work. Applications will be invited through district education officers.

The teachers will study teaching methods, co-curricular activities, homework assessment and teacher-parent engagement. On their return, they will submit detailed reports to the department so that successful practices can be adopted in Bihar.
