In alignment with the vision of the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, CBSE had undertaken this initiative in the academic session 2025–26 with a clear objective to strengthen the partnership between parents and schools and to promote holistic student well-being. The initiative received an encouraging response and witnessed active engagement from stakeholders across the country, reaffirming its relevance, efficacy and impact.
Building on this momentum, the CBSE Parenting Calendar 2026–27 further strengthens and expands this vision by institutionalizing structured engagement between schools and parents. The current edition introduces enhanced engagement strategies, teacher-led activities and focused psycho-social initiatives to support students’ emotional, social, and academic growth, while addressing challenges faced by parents in today’s evolving environment.
To enhance its scope and relevance, new and enriched components have been incorporated in the Calendar. These include dedicated sections on Inclusion, which promotes awareness, sensitivity, and equitable practices for diverse learners, and Coping with Changes, which supports parents and students in adapting to curriculum changes and evolving academic expectations. Further, the section on Parenting Workshops has been significantly strengthened by integrating a developmental perspective on parenting, enabling schools to design age appropriate and contextually relevant engagement programs.
The Calendar is designed to foster meaningful parent–child interactions, strengthen the home–school partnership, and serve as a practical guide for parents to actively participate in their child’s developmental journey. Overall, the initiative aims to create a nurturing, inclusive and supportive ecosystem that promotes the holistic development, well-being and resilience of every learner.
The live launch event witnessed participation from school principals, teachers, counselors, wellness educators, and parents, who joined to gain insights into the objectives and implementation of the Parenting Calendar. The Parenting Calendar is now available on the CBSE website:
