Directorate of Staff Development (DSD) is committed to improve the quality of learning in public schools in coordination with its partners in both public and non public sectors. One of the main areas of emphasis is capacity building of staff at all institutions of teacher professional development, i.e. DSD, PITE, GCETs, DTSCs and CTSCs. DSD came to exist in 2004 with a restructured organizational structure and redefined roles and functions. It became imperative for DSD to develop expertise of trainers and others involved in the professional development of teachers.

Over the past 3 years DSD has paid special attention to this concern. DSD offers opportunities for professional growth to the staff of teacher training institutions especially trainers, Heads of GCETs and DTSCs, LTEs, DTEs, material developers, quality managers and educational managers, and, district governments (EDOs). Certified courses organized by institutions, public or private, both national and international are regularly offered. Institution wise details of participants who have attended professional development courses/ conferences/ study tours in specific areas are shown in the table below:
