Ref: Instructions of the DSE issued during the meeting held on 31.07.2026 at the Conference Hall, O/o CSE, A.P., Amaravati

All the RJDSEs, DEOs, APCs, Dy.EOs, DIET Principals, MEOs and Sectoral Officers of District Samagra Shiksha in the State are hereby informed to ensure the conduct of the School Cluster Complex Meeting at the Cluster Complex level on 22-08-2026, from 09:00 AM to 04:00 PM, without any deviation.

As per NEP 2020, every teacher is expected to participate in at least 50 hours of Continuous Professional Development (CPD) annually. The NCERT Guidelines on 50 Hours of CPD provide a flexible framework covering face‑to‑face and other academic and professional activities. In this context, School Cluster Complex Meetings shall serve as an important platform for CPD, enabling teachers to strengthen subject knowledge, pedagogy, lesson planning, assessment practices, TLM preparation and classroom strategies. Accordingly, School Cluster Complex Meetings shall be conducted every month as a regular CPD mechanism.

It is further informed that, henceforth, School Cluster Complex Meetings shall be conducted as full‑day programmes from August 2026 onwards.

Cluster Complex Meetings for Primary

SGTs: The SGTs of each Mandal shall be divided into two groups. One half (50%) of the SGTs handling Classes I & II shall attend the newly mapped Cluster Complex on the third Saturday of every month, while the remaining half (50%) of the SGTs handling Classes III, IV & V shall attend the newly mapped Cluster Complex on the fourth Saturday of every month, ensuring the continuity of academic and school activities.

Example: If a Mandal has six Cluster Complexes, they may be mapped as 1 & 2, 3 & 4, and 5 & 6 for conducting the Cluster Complex Meetings.

Third Saturday: Teachers of Cluster Complex 1 shall attend Cluster Complex 2, teachers of 3 shall attend Cluster Complex 4, and teachers of 5 shall attend Cluster Complex 6.
Fourth Saturday: Teachers of Cluster Complex 2 shall attend Cluster Complex 1, teachers of 4 shall attend Cluster Complex 3, and teachers of 6 shall attend Cluster Complex 5.

If a Mandal has seven Cluster Complexes, the same pairing principle shall be followed. The first six Cluster Complexes may be paired as 1 & 2, 3 & 4, and 5 & 6, while the remaining 7th Cluster Complex shall be accommodated in the paired Cluster Complexes based on the strength of teachers, so as to ensure balanced participation and effective conduct of the meetings.

If there is any single‑teacher school, the regular teacher (SGT) working in that school should attend the Cluster Complex Training on the third Saturday of every month. In such cases, to ensure that academic activities continue without interruption, the CMRT/Cluster Teacher should be temporarily deployed to the school, enabling the regular teacher to attend the Cluster Complex.

Teachers from two neighbouring Mandals shall be combined, and subject‑wise Cluster Complex Meetings shall be conducted at the designated Subject Cluster Complex for each subject.

For Secondary Level teachers, teachers of two subjects shall attend the newly mapped Cluster Complex Meeting at the Mandal Headquarters of one Mandal, while teachers of the remaining two subjects shall attend the newly mapped Cluster Complex Meeting at the neighbouring Mandal Headquarters.
