New Delhi: The National Mission for Mentoring (NMM), a flagship initiative of the National Council for Teacher Education (NCTE), has made significant strides in advancing the professional development of educators across the country. Launched in alignment with the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, NMM aims to provide teachers with comprehensive guidance and resources to excel in their roles and meet contemporary educational challenges.
The NMM programme has successfully engaged over 1,00,000 teachers from PM SHRI schools nationwide. This outreach underscores the programme’s commitment to capacity building and fostering cross-learning among educators. By creating a network of skilled mentors, NMM plays a pivotal role in equipping teachers with the tools necessary to achieve the educational goals outlined in NEP 2020.
The initiative aligns with NEP 2020’s emphasis on continuous professional development, which is crucial for keeping pace with evolving educational standards and pedagogical practices. Through NMM, teachers receive targeted support and training, enhancing their skills and effectiveness in the classroom. This capacity-building effort is designed to promote high-quality education and ensure that educators are well-prepared to meet the demands of the 21st century.
NMM’s focus on mentorship not only provides teachers with immediate professional development, but also cultivates a culture of ongoing learning and collaboration. By promoting knowledge sharing and best practices, the programme helps educators enhance their teaching strategies and contribute to the overall improvement of the education system.
