different approaches of quality. These are (i) in terms of the exceptional ( High standards),
(ii) in terms of Consistency ( Zero defects) (iii) as fitness for purpose (meeting stated
purpose), (iv) as value for Money and (v) as transformative ( Transformation of the
participant). The student gets optimum level services for learning at the time of

Quality is psychological trait but we think about the quality regarding thing /matter

solving easily. Valid and reliable services in teacher education are mandatory for preparing
personal.

UGC for maintain the standard of services at Teacher education institutions. All levels of
education demands the skilled oriented teacher. Big data of trained teacher resources are
available but so many trained teachers have not teaching profession services. They are
unemployed. Transaction processes are not good or learners are not interested for acquiring
the teaching skills, there is big question in implementation process of teacher education about
the quality of pass out the learners.
Need of Professional Teachers
Professions, professionals and professionalism, these terms have isolated. Profession
can be related to occupational services or need of functions. Professions are occupationally
related social institutions established and maintained as a means of providing essential
services to the individual and society. The profession collectively, and the professional
individually, possesses a body of knowledge and repertoire of behaviors and skill needed in
the practice of the profession. The member of the profession are involved in decision making
in the services of the client, the decisions being made in accordance with the most valid
knowledge available against the background of principles and theories and within the context
of possible impact on other related conditions or decisions (AACTE).
Professionalism is used to describe the methods, manner and spirit of a profession and
its practitioners. Teacher professions have its own culture derived from the role of its teacher
and the expectations that society has with respect to the professional services. Teacher
followed the rule, ethics and values of his related profession. Teacher in Languages, Social
sciences, math, Science, Music, Art, ICT etc. it is like to get justice their profession.

various aspects. Teacher is back bone of society and teacher can take efforts to sustain the
society. But the complexity in teacher education should be reduced.
1. Open and Distance education in taking over the regular formal mode of teacher
education. Self learning material as like Print and Non print material are available on
web, mobile app, audio-video lecture, CD-ROM, OER and MOOCs also is user
friendly. This education mode is useful only for those who are in service but now is
connecting. ODL system cannot compete to regular mode Education; it is a
supplementary mode of education for society. UGC and NCTE also are monitoring
the standard in ODL system.
2. Demand and supply trained teacher are not relation to source for employment. The
general supply of trained teacher is very large, language and social sciences trained
teachers volume very high rather than other discipline. Certainly and crucial
curricular areas are striving for future.
3. Unaided institutions and private bodies are entered in to teacher education. They have
the tendency to go beyond exiting quality controls.
4. The intake for programme and ratio of teacher are irrelevant at Colleges and
Universities due to not recruitment. Some people are taking undue advantage by
manipulating admission.
5. UGC, NCTE and other organization issuing guidelines from time to time for
maintaining standards. But result not gets certainly hopeful.
6. NET/SET qualified teacher educator with Ph.D holder is less in institution due to
vacant post in institutions/Universities.
7. UGC have increased Standardization in Higher Education curriculum but it is goes to
cherished principle of autonomy and healthy multiple plurality. The local
involvement, creativity and initiative are hampered in the process.
8. Teacher Education should be implemented its code of conduct properly with
professional ethics.
9. The boundaries of teacher training can go beyond the preparation of teacher for
merely primary and secondary teacher education.

comes slowly. A change in society and cultural aspects also comes in Teacher Education. In
that context, The changes in society and culture, rapidly changed useable technology, need of
people and contemporary knowledge/skill should be add teacher education programme in
