The newly launched online courses on our Next Gurukul accelerate a learner-centric environment for the teachers to interact with their peers across the country and stay abreast with innovative ways of teaching-learning aspects. Our ultimate intention is to offer teachers the right training so that they can explore the latest trends in the K-12 learning ecosystem and initiate a journey towards imparting transformative education to the students.?

The enrolments for the programs have already begun. Teachers who are already registered on the Next Gurukul can log in with their credentials and select the course of their choice.
