NATIONAL EDU CONFERENCE ON NEP 2020 AND SKILL EDUCATION IN SCHOOLS ORGANISED BY AKHIL MAHARASHTRA SAHODAYA
Since inception in 1962 with 309 affiliated schools, the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has grown into a global education superpower with over 26,000 schools catering to over 2.4 Crore students and their families in India and 26 countries across the globe.
Since 1987, CBSE advocated the establishment of regional voluntary association of schools as cooperative structures called the Sahodaya School Complexes. Member schools of each Sahodaya collaborate to develop synergies in human resource mobilisation, professional growth of teachers, value-oriented school climate, vocationalisation of education, school management and administration, and evaluation.
