The B.Ed. Institutions in Assam: A Need Based Analysis

Parbin Sultana, M.A., M. Phil., M.Ed.

Abstract

Teacher education as its name suggests is meant for prospective and in-service teachers and is considered as a highly professional course in India to pursue quality training for effective teaching at school after completing the graduation (10+2+3) with minimum qualifying marks . Each society needs effective teachers for the young generation to grow with meaningful education. The constitution of India and the central and state policies have given special emphasis on teacher development and on effective teaching. On the basis of importance assigned, a society also requires the appropriate amount of teacher training institutions to develop the personality of the teachers as well as their teachings. In Assam, such institutions are very few in comparison to most of the states of India and also these colleges are not properly distributed in every part of Assam. Some of the important parts/places are still unnoticed. The present study aims to explore such places with the study of population and need. Along with this, she also intends to state the opinions of outside teacher-trainees who are attending the training programme with much struggle. To collect the relevant data the researcher has visited 15 B. Ed Colleges out of 51 in different places of Assam. In this paper, she also discusses some ongoing problems of pupils due to the limited teacher education institutions (B. Ed) in this state that could be a barrier for continuing professional development of a teacher.

Key Words: Teacher education, professional development, intake, population, in-service teacher, pre-service teacher etc.
