Curriculum Framework for Quality Teacher Education

Abstract

Enlightened, emancipated and empowered teachers lead communities and nations in their march towards better and higher quality of life. They reveal and elaborate the secrets of attaining higher values in life and nurture empathy for the fellow beings. Teachers are the torch bearers in creating social cohesion, national integration and a learning society. They not only disseminate knowledge but also create and generate new knowledge. They are responsible for acculturating the role of education. No nation can even marginally slacken its efforts in giving necessary professional inputs to its teachers and alongwith that due status to their stature and profession.
