As Maharashtra prepares to implement the New Education Policy (NEP) in phases, school teachers will undergo training for the revised syllabus ahead of the 2026-27 academic year. The NEP was introduced for Std I last year, and in May this year, teachers must complete mandated training hours for Std II, III, and IV. While Std VI will also adopt a new syllabus this year, its training module is yet to be rolled out.
