The National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 acknowledges the need for capacity building of teachers. Assam has begun the implementation of the NEP 2020 and for the professional development of the school leaders and teachers, Samagra Shiksha Assam, in collaboration with ECHO India, plans to cover 1000 schools. The pilot ECHO programme on school leadership, that started in 2021 helped more than 60 school leaders from 33 districts to foster transformational leaders who can meet the challenges of the 21st century through experiential learning. The programme covered leadership domains such as creating a school vision, improving school culture, engaging families and communities, etc. The interaction and the problem cases presented by the participants on various issues help in driving solution-based learning in the sessions on issues like student engagement and community collaboration.

It is commendable to note that the Assam Education Department, realizing the importance of empowering teachers and school leaders for fulfilling the educational needs of children, has shown keen interest in innovative training models like ECHO. This envisions creation of a strong community of educators who would lead the transformation of the education system in the State in the coming few years, ensuring quality education for all and a bright future of the State and the country.
