Apeejay School, Faridabad successfully hosted the CBSE Capacity Building Programme (CBP) on National Curriculum Framework – Foundational Stage (NCF-FS). It brought together educators for a day of meaningful learning, collaboration, and professional growth. The programme aimed to equip teachers with practical insights into implementing the vision of the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 and strengthening foundational learning in classrooms.
The programme commenced with the ceremonial lighting of the lamp, setting a positive and purposeful tone for the day. Distinguished CBSE Resource Persons conducted the sessions, Dr Kaumudi Bhardwaj and Mr Vivek Bector, who guided participants through the key principles and objectives of the National Curriculum Framework for the Foundational Stage.


The workshop focused on creating joyful, inclusive, and engaging learning environments that place the child at the centre of the teaching-learning process. Through interactive discussions, collaborative group activities, case studies, and reflective exercises, teachers explored learner-centred pedagogy, competency-based education, experiential learning, and age-appropriate instructional strategies designed to nurture the holistic development of young learners.
The resource persons emphasised the importance of fostering foundational literacy and numeracy while encouraging curiosity, creativity, critical thinking, and social-emotional well-being among children. Participants also gained valuable insights into designing meaningful classroom experiences that promote active participation and lifelong learning, in line with the recommendations of NEP 2020.

The sessions encouraged educators to reflect on their existing classroom practices and identify innovative approaches to make learning more engaging, inclusive, and developmentally appropriate. The collaborative nature of the programme provided teachers with opportunities to exchange ideas, share best practices, and develop practical strategies for effective classroom implementation.
The programme concluded on a highly enriching and inspiring note, with participants expressing appreciation for the practical knowledge and contemporary pedagogical approaches shared during the workshop.

By hosting the CBSE Capacity Building Programme, the school reaffirmed its commitment to continuous professional development and educational excellence. Such initiatives ensure that educators remain equipped with the latest pedagogical practices, enabling them to provide enriching, future-ready learning experiences that support the all-round growth and development of every child.
