CBSE to Launch Parenting Calendar to Foster Parent-Teacher Collaboration

The initiative, aligned with NEP 2020, will officially debut on March 28, 2025, focusing on students' mental health and holistic development.

The CBSE Parenting Calendar is set to launch on March 28, 2025, at 4 pm via CBSE's YouTube channel, marking its rollout for the 2025-26 academic session.
This initiative aims to strengthen parent-teacher communication, addressing students' emotional, social, and academic needs through structured engagement.
Aligned with the National Education Policy 2020, the calendar emphasizes nurturing each child’s unique strengths and promoting holistic education.
Key components include orientations, scheduled meetings, and tailored recommendations to address mental health, examination stress, and special educational needs.
While largely welcomed, stakeholders note challenges in implementation, particularly in rural areas, and concerns over its delayed introduction.
