 Hello, I welcome you all once again to my channel Explore Education. I am Dr. Rashmi Singh, Assistant Professor, Department of Education, SS Khanna Girls Ruby College, University of Allahabad. And this is my email ID and I am talking about teacher education. Earlier I have discussed with you all the recommendations of Justice Verma Committee on Teacher Education which has been published on August 2012, in August 2012. And this time I am going to discuss the most top policy of the nation, National Education Policy 2020 on Teacher Education. Okay? So the lecture will be useful for you all. Obviously. Let's start. Teacher Education. Education, education. That education in which we prepare education. And education is far from our society. It is said that there is a social agent, teacher, because they can bring social change, whatever they achieve in their own profession, they are all teachers' students. They are teachers' students. That is why the importance of teacher is very important, which has not been so much in this society, as it was before. It has degraded a lot. So the National Education Policy has thought about it, some have envisioned it, some have shown a distant view on how we can improve the education in our country. So a little bit about teacher education. It is vital in creating a pool of school teachers to shape the next generation. It is very important that we prepare the students who are preparing the education in this way, so that we can give the next generation a role. What role? The role we want to give them. Teacher preparation is an activity that requires multidisciplinary perspectives and knowledge, the formation of dispositions and values, and the development of practice under the best mentors. Teachers must be grounded in Indian values. See, whatever NEP 2020 has said, Indian ethos, Indian values, they are saying that we have to attach to modernity, but we don't have to leave our values, because that is why the roots of the culture have become completely lost in the society. Languages, knowledge, ethos, and traditions, including tribal traditions, say, don't leave these traditions, while also being well-versed in the latest advances in education and pedagogy. And along with this, in the education system, there is a completely new advancement going on. We also have to be improved in that, and we have to keep our old traditions in mind, not our old traditions. We have to keep the old traditions in mind, and also keep its roots in mind. So, look at this. For this reason, I have discussed the J.S. Verma Commission, Justice Verma Committee, sorry, Verma Commission, which I have discussed with you. Why? Because its first line is according to the Justice J.S. Verma Commission, Vision of Future Education in India, Quality and Regulatory Perspective. To strengthen this, the first line was that Justice Verma Commission said that in future education, that's why I thought that I would discuss Justice Verma Commission with you, then I will discuss NEP 2020 with you. Because generally, the Justice Verma Commission is not very popular. Those people must know that they read Teacher Education as a topic. But in general, it is not considered as a court. So, I have discussed this with you first. And Justice Verma Commission said that we have to improve the quality of Pre-Service in-Service Teacher Education, we have to see Teacher Performance and Teacher Audit, we have to strengthen the regulatory functions and CT. This is written in this, 2012 constituted by the Supreme Court. According to the Justice J.S. Verma Commission, a majority of, I have written so much about Justice Verma Commission, so that you can recall what we have discussed earlier. So, as Justice Verma Commission said, a majority of stand-alone, over 10,000 in number, are not even attempting serious Teacher Education, but are essentially selling degrees for a price. He said that even in the year 2020, Justice Verma Commission came back in 2012, that the stand-alone institution, where only B.L. is taught, is more than 10,000 in number. They are not even attempting. They don't even try to do well with Teacher Education. But they are essentially selling degrees. But what are they doing for sure? They are taking money and distributing degrees. That is, they have become the institutions to distribute degrees. So, what should be done? Regulatory efforts so far have neither been able to curb the malpractices in the system, nor enforce basic standards for quality. And in fact, have had the negative effect of curbing the growth of excellence and innovation in the sector. They are saying that the regulatory efforts that have been done so far have been able to curb the malpractices in the system. That is, the malpractices in the system, malnutrition in the system have been done to stop the malpractices. Nor enforce basic standards for quality. And in fact, have had the negative effect of curbing the growth of excellence and innovation in the sector. That means that even in the sector, they are not able to stop excellence, malpractices. Regulatory efforts have not been able to do anything. The sector and its regulatory system are therefore in urgent need of revitalization through radical action. That is why they are saying that the regulatory system has completely failed. It is urgent that we take radical action immediately and revitalize it. That is, revitalize it again. To raise standards in which we can increase the demand, restore integrity, restore integrity, credibility, efficacy and high quality to the future education system. That is to say, the study of the education system has been done to ensure that the quality of excellence and high quality of the education system can be maintained. This is what NEP 2020 has also said. So, all the points are there. I have not taken anything from anywhere else in the national education system document because it was not necessary. My goal is that the national education system can be explained to you. What does it want? So, in order to improve and reach the levels of integrity and credibility required to restore the prestige of the teacher profession, teaching profession, the regulatory system shall be empowered to take stringent action against substandard and dysfunctional teacher educations, teacher education institutions that do not meet basic educational criteria after giving one year for remedy of the breaches. He is saying that if we want to improve integrity and credibility, so that we can improve the lost prestige of the teacher profession, then the regulatory system will have to make it so strong that we can take action against the dysfunctional teacher education institutions that are working below the standards that have been given one year despite that they have not improved. By 2020, only educational-ish sound, multidisciplinary and integrated teacher education programs shall be enforced. He is saying that only the educational sound that is taught in the right way where there are disciplines and integrated teacher education programs will work, nothing else will work. Because the teacher education system is very bad As teacher education requires multidisciplinary inputs and education in high quality content as well as pedagogy, all teacher education programs must be conducted within composite multidisciplinary institutions. If you remember Justice Parma Kamechi, then you will remember that he has also said that stop standing alone, run multidisciplinary so that education is a multidisciplinary subject. In that, we study philosophy, sociology, psychology, research, statistics. In that, why are we only in the interaction of science as well as arts, basic arts. The more multidisciplinary you can run, the more you can keep studying B.H. He is saying that stand alone institutions are not doing well. To this end, all multidisciplinary universities and colleges will aim to establish education departments. They are saying that all multidisciplinary universities and colleges will open their own education department. Besides carrying out cutting-edge research in various aspects of education, there will also run B.H. programs. So what will happen? This is proposed that when we start doing research, we will do cutting-edge research. It means that if we study every subject, then it will be better. In collaboration with other departments such as psychology, philosophy, sociology, neuroscience and Indian languages, arts, music, history, literature, physical education, science and mathematics. The more you collaborate with everyone and do research, the better it will be. Moreover, all stand alone TEIs means teacher education institutions will be required to convert to multidisciplinary institutions by 2030. They are saying that all stand alone will run B.H. by 2030. They are saying that in the next 10 years you will become multidisciplinary institutions. Since they very have to offer the four-year integrated teacher preparation program. And now it has been discussed that the integrated teacher preparation program will run. Then the four-year integrated B.H. offered by such multidisciplinary HEIs will by 2030 become the minimal degree qualification for school teachers. This will be the minimum qualification for the four-year integrated B.H. or not. The four-year integrated B.H. will be a dual major holistic bachelor's degree in education as well as a specialized such as language, history, music, mathematics, computer science, history, economics, art, physical education etc. They are saying that the four-year integrated means that we have to run in the same way and study together. This will be our specialization. We will also learn its pedagogy. It can be any language, history, music, mathematics, anything. Beyond the teaching of cutting-edge pedagogy, the teacher education will include grounding in sociology, history, science, psychology, early childhood care and education which is called ECCE. Foundational literacy and numeracy, knowledge of India and its values, thoughts, arts, traditions and more. The more you study the more you will learn the better. The H.E.I., offering the four-year integrated B.H. may also run a two-year B.H. for students who have already received a bachelor's degree in a specialized subject. They are saying that the high education, because flexibility is the key term for the national education policy 2020. They are saying that if you have an option to give a four-year integrated B.H. then give it a two-year B.H. because it has got a specialization but if you want to give it a B.H. then it will be only pedagogy. One-year B.H. may also be offered for candidates. They are saying that there is an option for a one-year B.H. for those who have already completed their graduation. Two-year B.H. for those who have just passed secondary education means plus two, 12th years out. And two-year B.H. for students who have already completed their bachelor's degree. And one-year B.H. may also be offered for candidates who have received a four-year undergraduate degree in a specialized subject. They are saying that teach a one-year B.H. who have received a four-year specialized degree in a specialized subject. They will learn pedagogy in one year. They are saying that if you have completed the B.H. B.H. then it will be two years out. If you have already been specialized for the first year, then it will be one year. That means you have one year left in 4 year integrated. Scholarships for meritorious students will be established for the purpose of attracting outstanding candidates to the four-year, two-year and one-year B.H. programs. They have made a three-way program plan. So what is it? GI is offering teacher education programs will ensure the availability of experts in education and related disciplines as well as specialized subjects. What happens here? The policy is that you have this optional paper. But we don't have any expert on that topic. So what do we say? This is optional, but you can only take this. Why? Because we have this teacher available. So don't do that. Where are you giving options to children? Where are you giving freedom? Where are you fully implementing CBCS? The choice-based credit system is not there. And actually, it is just a credit system because we do not provide any choices to our students. That is why it is said for teacher education programs that you should ensure that you have the speciality of that subject. Okay. Each higher education institution will have a network of government and private schools to work with where potential teachers teach students along with participating in other activities such as community service, education, etc. They will say that all the HCI's where teacher training is going on should have a network of government and private schools where they can send prospective teachers, where they can teach potential teachers, do some innovation, do some experiments, and are involved in community service. So, it is said that the real work place can be achieved. In order to maintain uniform standards for teacher education, the admission to peace of the teacher preparation program shall be through suitable subject and aptitude tests conducted by the national testing agency NTA and shall be standardized keeping view the linguistic and cultural diversity of the country. It is said that the scientific and linguistic diversity of the country should be kept in mind that NTA should be tested for a standard admission process, which means that the standard of uniform is becoming very simple and difficult. This should not happen. Then, faculty profile in departments of education will necessarily aim to be diverse, but teaching field research experience will be highly valued. Faculty training in areas of social sciences is directly relevant to school education, which is important for academic education such as psychology, child development, development of children, knowledge of minds, linguistics, social science, and political science, as well as from science education, mathematics education, social science education and language education programs will be tracked and retained in teacher education institutions. We must stop such faculty in the teacher education institution that in these issues, such as psychology, child development, linguistics and expertise, it will be a trend in multidisciplinary education of teachers. We can say that our faculty has expertise in multidisciplinary education. Then, all fresh PhDs in trends, we can say that we have a lot of expertise in multidisciplinary education. We can say that we have a lot of expertise in multidisciplinary education. Then, all fresh PhDs in trends, those who have entered new PhDs, irrespective of discipline, will be required to take credit based courses in teaching education pedagogy, writing related to their chosen PhD subject during their doctoral training period. They will say that you have taken PhDs in any issue, you should take a credit based course in teaching education or pedagogy. What will happen with this? Exposure to pedagogical practices. See, those who come to higher education, there is no need for training for them. This is just training for school teachers. This is why it is said that in higher education, if you are going to enter PhD, if you are going to do PhD, then you will become a teacher of any subject. So, take a credit based course, through which you will get a little awareness, get an exposure to what pedagogy is, what is good in teaching, how is the evaluation done, what is the skill of communication. So, on will be ensured since many research scholars will go on to become faculty or public representatives or communicators of their chosen disciplines. Then PhD students will also have a minimum number of hours of actual teaching experience gathered through teaching assistantships and other means. See, this is all new. This has never been said before. He is saying that you will set a minimum number of hours of teaching experience. Because what happens is that you have done PhD and immediately you have a minimum requirement. You become a teacher and the day you become you have to face the actual classroom situation which you have never faced. So, this is the benefit of these students because they have already done it, but they have not done it. So, you should do all this in PhD. This has never been said before. Then what is said, this service continuous professional development for college and university teachers will continue through the existing institutional arrangements and ongoing initiatives. These will be strengthened and substantially expanded to meet the needs of enriched teaching learning process for quality education. So, in this service, the service which has to be professionally developed is saying that you should strengthen yourself so that you can give quality education. So, for this, you can use technology platforms like Swayam platform, which has online training for teachers. We are encouraged so that standard training program can administer to large number of teachers within a short span of time. So, we can educate more and more people. Not educate, but educate. So, what will happen in that? Many people can do it online. You need so much infrastructure in face-to-face. So, you can use this. And what they are saying is, a national mission for mentoring shall be established with a large pool of outstanding senior required faculty or retired faculty. Including those with the ability to teach in Indian languages who would be willing to provide short and long term mentoring professional support to university or college teachers. Look, this concept is new. It has not been mentioned before. They are saying, make a national mission for mentoring. The senior teachers who are retired and who have the ability to teach in Indian languages and who are willing to give short and long term mentoring professional support to university or college teachers. Because there is no greater education than experience. So, if there is an outstanding faculty who is retired, it can be served. So, the national mission for teaching is not only for teachers, but you can understand that these points have been for three years and we are still not able to understand them. There is so much power in each point. It is four years, two years, one year. So, for everyone, making syllabus, making curriculum, how it will be integrated, what issues will be offered, how you will keep minimum qualification for faculty. Apart from that, multidisciplinary, multidisciplinary, there is a lot going on in multidisciplinary today. So, this is everything. The national teacher who said, I have discussed NEP for higher education, for inclusive education. And teacher education is left. So, I have done something else. I can't remember. You can see on my channel, in the playlist. So, teacher education is an important aspect that I had missed. So, I thought I would discuss it with you. That is why I first discussed the Justice Parma Commission with you. And then I came to the National Education. Okay? So, go through it, learn it, embrace it. So, I have completed this very topic too. Thank you and don't forget to like and subscribe my channel for education. I have done from my side.
