What is the full form of SCERT?

The full form of SCERT is State Council of Educational Research and Training. It is an autonomous body in each state responsible for developing curriculum, textbooks, teacher training modules, and academic guidelines in alignment with the National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT). SCERTs also undertake educational research, innovations, and policy recommendations for state-level schools. Their primary goal is to ensure quality education by localizing the curriculum to reflect regional culture, values, and linguistic diversity while maintaining national educational standards. They also manage the implementation of government education schemes such as Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan and teacher competency development programs.
