Traditionally, a teacher has enjoyed a position of great respect as his role as friend, philosopher and guide. It is through teaching-learning process that society preserves its culture; schools discharge their duties and attain their objectives. It has been rightly remarked that ‘The destiny of India is now being shaped in her classrooms’. Effectively trained teachers are not only better communicators of knowledge and skills but are also source of inspiration and transformers of personalities. The quality of teaching is a key determinant of the student learning and it further depends in the quality of the people in the teaching profession, their initial teacher education and their continuing professional development, as well as their work practices and working environment..
In education process, Teacher is the single most important factor responsible for the success, reforms and advancements of the education process. He/she plays a pivotal role in the teaching-learning process upon whose competency and deficiency the quality of education depends.
I desire all our trainees teachers to imbibe our ethos and reinvent their approach to teaching-learning process.
My best wishes and blessings.
