A one-day Training of Trainers (ToT) workshop for school heads and headmasters was successfully conducted at St Paul School, Phesama, Kohima, on 8th September 2025, as part of the ongoing National Education Policy (NEP) pilot on multi-sector skill education. The event saw the participation of 26 school heads from pilot schools across Nagaland.
The workshop is a key component of the LIC HFL special project "Operationalizing Skill Education aligned with the National Education Policy 2020 and the National Curricular Framework 2023 in Nagaland," supported by LIC HFL CSR, and organized by Lend A Hand India, in its capacity as the technical and knowledge partner of Samagra Shiksha Nagaland.
The workshop was graced by NBSE Chairperson, Rangumbuing Nsarangbe. In his address to the participants, Nsarangbe underscored the critical importance of skill education in the state. He urged school heads to cultivate supportive learning environments within their schools to facilitate the effective delivery of skill-based courses that are aligned with the new NEP 2020 and NCF 2023. He further highlighted that these pilot schools are poised to become pioneers in driving multi-sector skill education in the days to come. Nsarangbe was accompanied by Academic Officer, NBSE, Dziesevolie Tsurho.
The sessions were expertly facilitated by the training team from Lend A Hand India, with participants engaging in interactive activities focused on the Healthcare and Fashion sectors.
The one-day workshop served as a crucial prelude to a more extensive four-day workshop planned for vocational trainers and teachers starting 9th September to 12th September. The focus sectors for this training are Fashion, Healthcare and Coding. Upon the completion of the longer workshop, these educators will be equipped to implement the pilot program in their respective schools.
