New Delhi: The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) will organise a training program on ‘Alternative Academic Calendar’ for school teachers and principals on July 17.

According to a CBSE notification, the school principals affiliated to the Board are required to participate in the program. They can login to the meeting via email id available on the cbseshiksha.in.
NCERT had released the ‘Alternative Academic Calendar’ in April and then revised it on July 7. The revised calendar was released with reduced topics after the Board’s decision to reduce the syllabus by 30 per cent this year for Classes IX to XII.
The step was taken due to the schools’ inability to impart education physically as a result of the lockdown due to the coronavirus pandemic.
