Professor Pankaj Arora

Chairperson, NCTE

Although mentoring has its roots in our educational traditions, and culture, NCTE has played a pivotal role in advancing the notion of mentoring nationally. I applaud NCTE for its groundbreaking work in this field and request all educators to support this endeavour of fostering excellence and creating inclusive, engaging learning environments.

NEP 2020 emphasizes the importance of high-quality teachers and proposes the National Mission on Mentoring (NMM) to enhance education outcomes and promote holistic teacher development.

Overview

National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 in Para 15.11 aims to flourish a knowledge system by establishing a large pool of outstanding professionals, who would be willing to provide short-and-long-term professional support to school teachers. Working towards the attainment of the goals set by NEP 2020, NCTE has been assigned to develop and design the modalities for National Mission for Mentoring (NMM). Mentoring is a process for the informal/formal transmission of knowledge and the psychosocial support perceived by the recipient as relevant to work, career or professional development. Mentoring gives rise to a collaborative agency for stakeholders where the community fosters the spirit of learning, reflection and sharing toward capacity building. The NMM portal encourages community engagement through forums, organizes mentoring events, and prioritizes user security. It aims to create a supportive environment, enhancing mentorship experiences and contributing to individual and collective growth.
