National Policy on Education 2020, states that ‘Teachers truly shape the future of our children and therefore the future of our nation’. Everyone admits that the quality of education is the base for quality of human life. A teacher is the most important person in the entire educational ecosystem.

Teacher education is an important area of concern in our educational system. Improving the quality of education is not possible without improving the quality of teacher education and teachers.
