The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has rolled out a significant initiative to bolster its educational network. The board has announced a dedicated orientation programme for schools involved in its innovative Hub and Spoke School Model. This move is designed to fortify collaborative learning practices and significantly enhance student well-being across all its affiliated institutions.
Programme Details: Date, Venue, and Participants
The crucial orientation session is scheduled for December 26, 2025. It will be hosted in the historic city of Jaipur, Rajasthan. The specific venue for the event is Bhartiya Vidya Bhavan's Vidyashram, located on KM Munshi Marg, Jaipur, with the postal code 302015.
The programme will run from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm, and all participants have been instructed to report by 9:30 am to complete necessary pre-programme formalities.
This orientation is primarily intended for Principals, Vice Principals, Counsellors, and Wellness Teachers. Schools already designated as Hub or Spoke institutions are required to nominate at least two representatives. The board strongly recommends that these nominees come from the school's leadership and counselling teams. The core focus, as highlighted by CBSE, is on strengthening counselling frameworks and creating coordinated student support systems.
Key Objectives and Registration Process
The board has outlined clear goals for this gathering. The primary objectives include:
- Familiarising school representatives with the framework and operational guidelines of the Hub and Spoke Model.
- Promoting a culture of collaborative learning and optimal sharing of resources among schools.
- Improving institutional coordination and building professional networks among principals and coordinators.
- Facilitating capacity building and the dissemination of best practices for holistic student development.
In a welcome move, there is no registration fee for attending this orientation. However, interested participants must complete an online registration process. Confirmation of participation will be sent via email to selected attendees. It is important to note that all travel and accommodation costs will be the responsibility of the participants or their schools.
While schools in the Hub and Spoke network are given priority, other CBSE-affiliated schools are also encouraged to register. Their participation will be confirmed strictly on a first-come, first-served basis, depending on the availability of slots.
Aligning with Broader Educational Goals
This orientation programme is a key part of CBSE's sustained efforts to institutionalise meaningful collaboration among schools. It directly aligns the board's academic strategies with the crucial pillars of student wellness and holistic development. By bringing school leaders together, CBSE aims to ensure the effective implementation of the Hub and Spoke Model, thereby maximising its benefits for students across the country. Schools with specific queries have been advised to contact the board through its official counselling support email channel.
