Which Commission on Teacher Education in India?

Answer (Detailed Solution Below) – Option 2 : Justice Verma Commission Free Teaching Aptitude Mock Test 10 Questions 20 Marks 12 Mins Teacher education in India

• Teaching is one of the oldest and most respected professions in the world.
• The noble task of shaping the future citizens is entrusted in the hands of teachers. The nature of this task is determined by the expectations of society.
• In ancient India, the teacher was well versed in temporal as well as spiritual knowledge, and the aim of education was to equip the learner with the worldly as well as spiritual knowledge and prompt him for self-realization.
• In the medieval ages, the task of the teacher was to impart knowledge to his pupils. But a twenty-first-century teacher has to act as an ‘interpreter of knowledge ‘.

Justice Verma Commission Report of the High-Powered Commission on Teacher Education constituted by Hon’ble Supreme Court of India (2012), titled “Vision of Teacher Education in India: Quality and Regulatory Perspective”, commonly known as Justice Verma Commission, suggested to set up a model INSET policy, which should focus on following issues:

Can a govt teacher teach tuition in India?

Kolkata: A state education department notification to headmasters of government and government-aided schools to prohibit private tuitions has rekindled an old debate. In the notification, school heads have been reminded of Section 28 in The Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act, 2009, that prohibits private tuition by teachers.

1. To address the issue, the government is even planning punitive action against the violators.
2. On Wednesday, education minister Bratya Basu said: “We hope teachers will not do private tuition.
3. We have full faith in them.
4. If they continue this practice, we will have to take steps.” Some school principals have already forwarded the notice to teachers and warned them that there could be consequences if anyone violated it.

Jadavpur Vidyapith headmaster Partha Pratim Baidya said: “This is very unfortunate that after being a permanent teacher of a state affiliated school, a section of teachers is constantly violating government norms. This has to be stopped.” Several such notices have been issued in the past.

• In 2008, the school education department issued a notification regarding the code of conduct of the teachers that stated: “No teacher shall engage himself in any sort of private tuition for personal gain.
• A teacher shall cooperate in the matter of remedial coaching that may be organised by the institution.” A section of teachers has, nevertheless, continued with the practice.

Tuitions have gained more popularity in the past two years when schools were shut and parents relied on private tutors to overcome the learning gaps. A teacher in a government school who does private tuition pointed out that when schools were shut, the only support students received was from the private tutors.

In today’s scenario, only school education cannot suffice. Students will have to depend on private tutors,” he argued. A part-time teacher at another government-aided school said that she gets paid on the basis of classes and it is not sufficient considering the current situation where daily expenses have risen.

“The extra income I generate by doing private tuition supports my family,” she said. While acknowledging that a large section of students relied on private tuitions, Jodhpur Park Boys headmaster Amit Sen Majumdar said there could be no debate about service rules governing government school teachers.

1. Service rules do not permit school teachers to engage in private tuitions,” he pointed out.
2. The high marks that students get now in boards is another factor that pushes children to tuitions to secure high marks.
3. A section of teachers and parents feel that tuition is required to fill in learning gaps.

“Classroom teaching fulfils the basic learning needs. But personal attention isn’t possible in a class of 40-45 students. That is where tuition helps,” a teacher pointed out. Educationist Pabitra Sarkar feels that the intention behind the government’s notification is good because it will try to curb corruption and partiality.

• But in the same breath, he added that private tuition is also a social necessity because all parents don’t have the specialised knowledge or time to guide their children and teachers cannot clear all doubts in a stipulated time.
• Academic Amal Mukhopadhyay called for an overhaul of the syllabus and the education system to reduce the reliance on tuitions.

“Students take private tuition to do well in their examination but they do not gain in-depth knowledge. In most cases, it promotes rote learning,” he said. Arindam Kumar Sil, whose son and daughter study in B D Memorial, said that he didn’t encourage private tutions but often circumstances like both parents working force people to arrange for private tuition so that the kids get extra support.

What are the two types of teacher education?

Percentage of trained teachers by region (2000–2017) Teacher education or teacher training refers to programs, policies, procedures, and provision designed to equip (prospective) teachers with the knowledge, attitudes, behaviors, approaches, methodologies and skills they require to perform their tasks effectively in the classroom, school, and wider community.

• The professionals who engage in training the prospective teachers are called teacher educators (or, in some contexts, teacher trainers).
• There is a longstanding and ongoing debate about the most appropriate term to describe these activities.
• The term ‘teacher training’ (which may give the impression that the activity involves training staff to undertake relatively routine tasks) seems to be losing ground, at least in the U.S., to ‘teacher education’ (with its connotation of preparing staff for a professional role as a reflective practitioner).

The two major components of teacher education are in-service teacher education and pre-service teacher education,

While many people in India are studying English, the demand for paid TEFL teachers is quite low.

Although there remain many problems facing India the country has made impressive economic gains and output in recent years.

2. English is used extensively in business and administration, and it is also important in education, especially as a medium of higher education, so whether you want to volunteer teaching children or adults, there will be an opportunity for you.

India has much to offer the adventurous TEFL teacher: a cheap cost of living, bustling cities, world-famous cuisine, white-knuckle rickshaw rides, amazing wildlife, epic train journeys, shopping heaven and ancient cultural sites. While you might not be able to find paid work (or, if you do, you’re unlikely to earn and save a huge amount) India still holds appeal for many intrepid TEFL teachers.
