"The real difficulty (of education) is that people have no idea of what education truly is. We assess the value of education in the same manner as we assess the value of land or of shares in the stock-exchange market. We want to provide only such education as would enable the student to earn more. We hardly give any thought to the improvement of the character of the educated. As long as such ideas persist there is no hope of our ever knowing the true value of education" - Mahatma M.K. Gandhi on True Education (parenthesis added). more..
Teaching is a highly noble profession; suited specially to women. As the field is so vast having varied areas of specialization, different skills and types of training are required for different levels. With the intention of providing world class professional education in this teacher education stream IPS has offered a one year B. Ed. programme. This course is designed for secondary school teachers. Main reason for opting this career could be interest in subject, secure professional career and regular annual vacations. It can also be a second career for those who have retired from professional services. After doing B. Ed. course a person may opt for teacher training college (College of education) and educational research institute, special school and self-employment by starting institute and tutorials .
Teachers will have to shape up so that they possess the skills in applied technology, to be able to use state-of-the-art hardware and computer programmes in the a networked teaching environment. Ability to use numerically-based information such as statistics, graphs, flow charts and spreadsheets, would be an asset. The initial feedback from US public schools, about Indian teachers, is positive. Of course, it remains to be seen if the teachers would like to pursue this in the long term, as teaching does pay comparatively less than most other occupations in the US.
