A decision for implementing the concept of teaching- sharing as mentioned in the National Education Policy (NEP)-2020 was taken in a meeting of the officers of the education department of Uttarakhand and representatives of different boards operational in the State. The meeting was chaired by the education minister Dhan Singh Rawat.
Informing about the decision Rawat said that under the teaching -sharing system good teachers of different subjects of a board will teach in the educational institutes of other boards.
