Aditya Birla Education Academy provided free training to over 1 lakh educators across India, during the pandemic.

Aditya Birla Education Academy (ABEA), India’s leading professional development institute for teachers today announced that it has achieved a milestone in terms of providing free training to over one lakh educators in India. Aditya Birla Education Academy is at the forefront of supporting the teaching community of the country by imparting in them the right skills required to stay abreast of the latest developments and aid their learning through various training programmes.

The novel coronavirus posed an unprecedented disruption in the education system. In response to the crisis, educational establishments began embracing virtual teaching methods and digital avenues to bridge the physical divides. During the initial days, many educators were not accustomed to the required digital tools and teaching methods to conduct virtual classes. This scenario was more of an eye-opener and an opportunity for the teachers to realize the importance of upskilling themselves by undertaking different training programmes.

To support skill development of the educators of the country especially during such dire times, Aditya Birla Education Academy (ABEA) as a part of its community-building initiatives for teachers’ learning has been offering free Masterclasses and Educator Meetup sessions for teachers for the last 15 months. ABEA began this initiative in April 2020 when teachers were grappling with strategies and tools to teach online. Aditya Birla Education Academy takes pride in successfully training over 1,00,000 educators by conducting around 60 free sessions from April 2020 to date.
