Through sustained efforts and visionary initiatives, the organization has evolved into a mature professional body with affiliated chapters in twenty-five states across India and three overseas countries.
CTEF has a vast network of life members comprising teachers, educationists, academicians, teacher educators, educational administrators, policymakers, and researchers.
