Abstract

Teacher Education is an important area of concern in our Educational system. Numerous committees and commissions were established to improve and change the status of teacher Education. There is a growing concern of assuring quality at all levels of education in the present educational scenario.  It hardly needs to state that the status of teachers has got a direct bearing on the quality of education. Emphasizing the role and status of teacher and teacher education, the Education Commission (1964-66) had rightly stated that of all the different factors which influence the quality of education and its contribution to national development the quality, competence and character of teachers are undoubtedly the most significant. Nothing is more important than recurring  a sufficient supply of high quality recruits to the teaching profession.
