To integrate innovation and practicality into education, the Uttar Pradesh government has introduced a new initiative under the ‘Learning by Doing’ programme, aimed at making teachers more experimental and technically proficient, reported PTI. Under the Samagra Shiksha Abhiyan and PM SHRI scheme, selected science and mathematics teachers, technical instructors, DIET master trainers, and educators from Kasturba Gandhi Balika Vidyalayas (KGBVs) will receive specialised training.
This residential training programme, conducted in phases, will take place at the Institute of Entrepreneurship Development and the Deen Dayal Upadhyay State Rural Development Institute in Lucknow. The primary goal is to help teachers adopt modern teaching methodologies to make classroom learning more effective, engaging, and impactful for students. With technical guidance from UNICEF and the STAR Forum-Vigyan Ashram, training sessions will start on August 5, 2025, and will continue in stages until March 18, 2026, involving participants across four categories.
“The Learning by Doing programme is set to revolutionise the education system in Uttar Pradesh. This initiative will not only enhance the teaching skills of educators but also provide students with hands-on, logical, and engaging learning experiences. Under Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath’s leadership, this initiative marks a significant step towards improving education quality through empowered teachers,” said Sandeep Singh, Minister of Basic Education of Uttar Pradesh, the PTI report added.
To simplify and make the teaching of science and mathematics more experiential, special focus will be placed on the Learning by Doing model. As part of this, two science subject lecturers from each district will undergo a 4-day TOT (Training of Trainers). Additionally, science and math teachers and technical instructors from 2,274 selected schools in 2024-25 will receive two-day specialised training. In 2025-26, science and math teachers from 3,288 newly selected schools (including KGBVs) will undergo 3-day training. District Coordinators (Community Participation) will also receive 2- or 3-day training sessions to enhance school-community engagement.
A total of 76 DIET faculty members will serve as master trainers. Approximately 2,074 science/maths teachers and technical instructors from the 2,274 selected schools will participate, along with around 1,888 participants from the 3,288 newly selected schools (including KGBVs). KGBV teachers will also be included in the 2025-26 training phase.
