The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) will conduct a series of offline parenting workshops for principals, counsellors, and wellness teachers in September 2025. The initiative is an extension of the parenting calendar 2025–26 introduced by the board earlier this year.

The workshops are scheduled to take place between September 4 and September 18 at selected CBSE-affiliated schools in Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, Siliguri, Ludhiana, and Indore. The Board stated that the sessions aim to support the implementation of the parenting calendar and provide practical strategies to address students’ academic, social, and emotional needs.

As per the official notice, the objectives of the workshop include promoting positive parenting practices, digital well-being, resilience-building, and facilitating collaboration between schools and families. Orientation sessions on the parenting calendar were earlier conducted in May and June 2025.

Each session will be held from 10 am to 2 pm. Interested participants are required to register through the links provided in the official CBSE circular. Registration will be on a first-come, first-served basis. Confirmation emails will be sent to selected participants, who must report at the venue by 9:30 am.
