Integrated Teacher Education Programme

The Union Minister for Human Resource Development, Ramesh Pokhriyal ‘Nishank’, throughout a Lok Sabha session on Monday, July 08, 2019, informed about steps taken by the authorities to enhance the coaching profession in India. The Central Government has brought a four-12 month Integrated Teacher Education Programme (ITEP) for pre-provider training to provide primary and secondary education commencement. The packages inside the program have been invited given June 03, 2019. The ITEP will be conducted in all states and union territories through the National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) and the National Institute of Educational Planning and Administration (NIEPA).

Initiatives are taken by way of the important authorities to improve the great of schooling:

1. The Central Government has released an Integrated Scheme for School Education – Samagra Shiksha, from 2018-19, which subsumes the erstwhile centrally sponsored schemes of

• Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA),
• Rashtriya Madhyamik Shiksha Abhiyan (RMSA)
• Teacher Education (TE).

Under Samagra Shiksha, finances are given to all states and union territories for various interventions to enhance first-rate training, such as schooling of in-carrier teachers, headteachers, and principals, remedial coaching for academically weaker students, provision of library grants to faculties, ICT, and virtual projects, strengthening of instructor training establishments, Rashtriya Avishkar Abhiyan, Padhe Bharat Badhe Bharat, and so on.

2. To focus on a great education, the critical rules of the Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education (RTE) Act have been amended to include a reference to elegance-wise, situation-smart getting-to-know outcomes for all fundamental classes.

The National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) conducted a National Achievement Survey. The mastering effects of students have been evaluated via a district degree sampling, and gaps have been identified.

3. The Government of India can participate in the Programme for International Students Assessment (PISA) to be carried out via the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) in 2021.

4. Approval has been given for undertaking a Census-primarily based audit known as Shagunotsav of all government and authorities-aided schools in all states and union territories. Further, in 2019-20, approval has been given for carrying out a School-Based Assessment (SBA) of all essential level college students to evaluate getting to know effects.

5. The online DElEd course commenced on October 03, 2017, and nine fifty-eight 513 teachers have successfully finished the training.

6. MHRD has designed 70 indicators based on the matrix Performance Grading Index (PGI) to grade the states and union territories. An Educational Management Information System called UDISE+ (UDISE plus) was released in 2018 19 to accumulate well-timed and accurate facts.

7. In 2019-20, approval has been given to put kids and eco-clubs in all government colleges throughout the United States. To experience and have a good time in the rich cultural range of India and to inspire experimental learning, Rangotsav changed into prepared in schools in 2018-19.3) Immediate restructuring of board examinations: should probably start with in-depth instructors’ education for Grades 9 to 12 to transport the pedagogy closer to greater analytical and open-ended teaching-mastering patterns. Indeed, it’ll stay a less-than-perfect system because this pedagogy will no longer have been practiced in the earlier grades. But it’s vital to do away with the modern-day fascination with a couple of preference questions and keyword-based answers.

My revel in trainer choice committees suggests that the best candidates interviewed are abysmal. 4) Recruitment and schooling of instructors: This is the hardest one to clear up because a capable pool from which teachers may be recruited is truly too small. Not too many humans are interested in becoming college instructors given the unsure running situations and tenures and the meager salaries in maximum private schools; even in government colleges, while the income is respectable, temporariness seems to be standard. There appears to be little incentive for aspiring teachers in rural areas and small cities to put money into a 4-yr B.Ed degree, while their likely monthly payment may be a few thousand rupees. There’s no possible solution if these troubles aren’t addressed via regulation and unique recruitment drives to hire smart people.
