A five-day Bhoti Training Programme on the newly framed Bhoti textbooks for foundational and primary classes commenced on December 27 at the District Institute of Education and Training (DIET), Leh.

The objective of the programme is to orient teachers with the newly developed Bhoti textbooks for Nursery, LKG, UKG, and Classes I and II, and to strengthen pedagogical practices at the foundational and primary levels in line with the National Curriculum Framework for the Foundational Stage (NCF-FS) and the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020.

The training is being conducted by Bhoti Resource Persons including Venerable Stanzin Norbu, Dr. Lotos Rabgais, and Tundup Namgail, who are providing academic and pedagogical guidance to the participants.

A total of 91 teachers from three educational zones—Nubra, Durbuk, and Nyoma—are participating in the programme. The initiative aims to ensure the effective classroom implementation of the newly framed Bhoti textbooks and to promote mother tongue-based education in Government schools across the Union Territory of Ladakh.
