Abstract:
The validity of any educational program depends upon how far it is in sync with the needs or the context of the times. India being at the brink of a global make over requires its citizens to possess skills and competences that would enable them to contribute to India as well as the world. Shaping up of future citizens takes place in the classrooms. Hence if we need young citizens with futuristic and global outlook, India would need to revisit its teacher formation programs. Teachers would themselves need to possess the skills that they wish to develop in their learners. Hence teacher education curriculum would need to make conscious endeavours to include programs and processes that are progressive and contemporary. It cannot afford to be complacent about its course content; rather it would need to look at its programs vis-Ã -vis the national and global skill requirements. This article presents the teacher education program with reference to national challenges and shows how the program is a responsibility and not just a duty.
