Abstract :

 The National Council for Teacher Education (NCTE) is making comprehensive changes from 2015–2016 academic year to produce quality teachers. It has increased the duration of the Bachelor of Education (B.Ed.) programme from one year to two years, besides modifying the curriculum. Experts feel the change will lend the programme the gravitas enjoyed by other professional courses like BE (four years) and MBBS (five–and–a–half years). The aim is to produce quality teachers. In a recent initiative, the MHRD has restructured the teacher training system by doubling the duration of teacher training courses i.e. Bachelor of Education (B.Ed.) and Master of Education (M.Ed.) from one year to two years. After a long–term debate and discussion, realizing the insufficiency/ inadequacy of one year B.Ed. programme, NCERT introduced a two year B.Ed. course in its four wings from session 1999–2000 in accordance with NCTE guidelines. Since then this programme is continuing in the four Regional Institutes of Education keeping in view many hopes and aspirations. NCERT is a leading council at the national level, whose main objective is to ing qualitative improvement in school education. Teacher–education is a significant part of this school education programme. Along with many other functions, some of the important functions of NCERT in the area of teacher– education are to prepare the curriculum for teacher education, to revise the teacher–education curriculum in accordance with existing needs, to judge the suitability of some innovative curriculum for teacher education, to judge the suitability and effectiveness of some new teacher–training strategies etc teacher–education programmes have to define teachers’ roles with reference to an emerging vision of school education. Existing conditions in schools will need to be critically viewed vis–à–vis aims of education, and teachers will need to be prepared such that they have the potential of transforming these conditions.
