"If you educate a boy, you
educate one individual,
If you educate a girl, you
educate a teacher.
If you educate a teacher,
you educate a community"
 the overall quality in education
depends on the quality of
teachers
"all formal and informal activities
and experiences that help to
qualify a person to assume the
responsibility as a member of the
educational profession or to
discharge his responsibility most
effectively.
"The total education experiences which
contribute to the preparation of a person
but the term is completely employed to
designate the program for the courses
and other experiences offered by an
educational institute for the announced
purposes of preparing persons for
teaching and other educational service
and for contributing to their growth in
competency for such service" .
The Educational Commission (1964-1966)
said, "a sound program of professional
education of teachers is essential for the
qualitative improvement of education.
Investment in teacher education can yield
very rich dividends because the financial
resources required are small when
measured against the resulting
improvement in the education of
millions."
According to PASSI (1997), "Teacher
education means programs of education,
research or training of persons for
equipping them to teach at primary,
secondary, and senior secondary stages in
schools and includes non-formal
education, part time education, adult
education and correspondence education.
 To develop in prospective teacher
educators necessary skills and
competencies needful for the
preparation of the teacher
To impart the latest knowledge of the
relevant disciplines
To upgrade their knowledge and
develop a critical awareness.
 To develop the capacity of elaboration,
examination, interpretation and
communication of ideas
To enable them to undertake
meaningful educational research for
improving the condition of education
and society.
To develop among them the desire for
life long learning for removing
anachronism from them.
This is self explanatory; it refers to the
education a teacher receives when he has
entered the teaching profession after he
has had his education or training in a
teaching institute or college. It includes
all the fields i.e. the refresher courses etc
that he receives at different institutions.
