Abstract
‘The status of the teacher reflects the socio-cultural
ethos of the society; it is said that no people can rise
above the level of its teachers’ - such exhortations
are indeed expressions of the important role
played by the teachers as transmitters, inspirers
and promoters of the eternal quest for knowledge
in human beings. All of us aspire for a good society
that is humane, equitable and sustainable. It
is assumed that school education provides the
foundation for it. Education could bring such society
through non-violent and sustained manner. India
attempts education for every individual amending
fundamental rights where it ensured Right of
Free and Compulsory Education. As result of this,
it is being attempted to ensure access for each
child in terms of schooling as well in quality. The
reservation of seats for vulnerable family children
in private schools is part of the same. Through this,
the education of every child became a mandate
of the Government. Both the Central and State
governments have been putting in their best efforts
to ensure easy access of school for all children and
promoting regular attendance through various
government programmes. India has achieved
a lot in terms of enrolment, and significantly
accomplished attendance of students in primary
schools. The issue that remains unaddressed is
quality of education. Many reports such as ASER,
NAS identified gaps in learning levels of students
across the subjects. It has become serious issue
in the school education these days and has been
identified as a key concern in school education. The
quality of education is considerably determined by
teachers and their engagements in the classroom.
Teacher professional abilities eventually contribute
for quality delivery of education in the schools along
with other requirement such as infrastructure, PTR
(Pupil Teacher Ratio), school leadership, etc.
