New Delhi: With
teachers' training high on the government's agenda, the Central
Advisory Board of Education (CABE) has decided to look into
developing a framework for the new central programme for teachers'
training.
CABE, which is the highest advisory body in education, at its
meeting here Wednesday decided to form a committee to develop the
"framework and processes" for the National Mission on Teachers and
Teaching being launched by the central government.
Minister of State for Education D. Purandeswari will head the
committee.
Quality of teaching is in the focus in the 12th Five-Year Plan
(2012-17) for successfully implementing the right to education.
The National Mission on Teachers and Teaching focuses on giving
quality training to teachers.
Human Resource Development Minister Kapil Sibal, meanwhile, said
it was "ironic" that best minds were not being attracted to
teaching.
"It is ironic that you always talk about education of children.
Here we are talking about teacher education. In other words, we
have accepted the fact that our teaching communities are not as
educated as they should be," Sibal said at the meeting.
"If we want to educate our children, we must get the best minds
into the teaching profession," he said.
The board also decided to form a committee to look into the policy
of not detaining and allowing students to move on up to Class 8,
as per the right to education.
The committee will be chaired by Haryana's Education Minister
Geeta Bhukkal and include education ministers from other states
and representatives from academia and civil society.
