A series of significant educational publications developed by the Social Science and Mathematics Cells of the State Council of Educational Research and Training (SCERT), Nagaland, was formally released on March 27, 2026 by SCERT Director, Keviraleü Kerhüo, in the presence of academic officers of the department.
According to DIPR report, the publications include: Pamphlets on Road Safety Education for school students; A Module on Road Safety Education for school teachers; A Coffee Table Book on the Traditional Arts and Crafts of Nagaland; A Teacher Resource Book on the Teaching of Social Science in the Middle Stage and A book titled Computational Thinking: Your First Steps.
The Road Safety Education pamphlets and teacher training module, developed by the Social Science Cell, aim to promote awareness among students and support teachers in integrating road safety into classroom practices. The module, aligned with NEP 2020 and NCF-SE, emphasises responsible behaviour, safety consciousness, and life skills among children and adolescents.
The Coffee Table Book and Teacher Resource Book were prepared under the guidance of Joint Director and Cell Head, Vikedono Shurhiu Sesa. While the Coffee Table Book documents the rich cultural heritage of Nagaland’s traditional arts and crafts, the Teacher Resource Book has been designed specifically for teachers of Classes VI to VIII.
The Mathematics Cell contributed with Computational Thinking: Your First Steps, a jargon-free guide for elementary teachers and interested readers. Through “unplugged” activities requiring no digital devices, the book illustrates how computational thinking can be integrated across subjects, strengthening logical reasoning, problem-solving, and creativity among students.
SCERT Nagaland stated that these publications reflect its continued effort to provide teacher-friendly, context-based, and culturally relevant learning resources for schools across the state. The release is expected to benefit teachers and contribute to improving classroom teaching and learning.
