- Tata Consultancy Services’ Strategic Unit Celebrates World Teachers’ Day with a Free Online Course to Help the Teaching Community Enhance their Professional Skills
This first-of-its-kind initiative has been taken to help the educator community design high-quality question papers and assessments that truly test students’ learning, especially given the new assessment format announced by the CBSE and ICSE. The self-paced course will help teachers learn the art and science of drafting impactful questions and question papers in line with the Assessment Reforms of the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020.
Venguswamy Ramaswamy, Global Head, TCS iON, said, “The last 16 months have been the most tumultuous time for educators across the country. Circumstances necessitated that we unlearn, learn, and adapt to new ways of teaching, and evaluating students. At TCS iON, we have been continuously working towards enabling schools, teachers and educators with tools, techniques, and solutions to help simplify their day-to-day job. On the special occasion of World Teachers’ Day, we are elated to offer this free course to the teachers of India who are helping shape the future of our nation.”
The course, The Art of Question Paper Construction, was spearheaded by the late Prof HS Srivastava, a luminary in the field of educational evaluation and assessments, along with a large team of eminent experts.
