CBSE to launch Parenting Calendar for 2025-26 session to strengthen parent-teacher partnership

The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) released its Parenting Calendar for the 2025-26 session on March 28.

This initiative aims to strengthen the partnership between parents and teachers, fostering an environment that supports the holistic development of children.

CBSE recognizes the crucial role parents play in shaping a child's emotional, social, and academic growth.

While schools provide essential knowledge and skills, the home environment significantly influences a child's resilience, creativity, and critical thinking abilities.

The Parenting Calendar is designed to equip parents with knowledge and strategies to actively engage in their child's educational and personal development.

By bridging the gap between parents and schools, the Parenting Calendar seeks to create a harmonious support system that nurtures students in all areas of their development.

This aligns with the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, which emphasizes the need for holistic education and active parental involvement in a child's educational journey.

By promoting a collaborative relationship between schools, parents, and students and ensuring a daily communication system that supports students' intellectual and emotional well-being, the Parenting Calendar aims to strengthen the parent-teacher partnership.

It facilitates open communication between schools and families, ultimately fostering student success through holistic development.

Additionally, it provides systematic orientations, meetings, and programs to ensure effective parent-school involvement, thereby strengthening the foundation for student growth and well-being.

To offer students all-encompassing guidance and support, the Parenting Calendar will also provide practical suggestions for fostering effective parent-school relationships and encourage continuous collaboration.
