Education for All: Challenge for Teacher Education

Abstract

Today, the commonwealth countries (especially the third world) stands on the threshold of entering space and generating solar and nuclear energy. If these countries are to benefit fully from these powerful tools of progress, we must find a way to change our attitude towards teacher, education at the school level. In other words, we have to revamp our teacher education curriculum and programme. // We are probably aware that the majority of our pupils specially in rural areas of the third world countries are not very much interested in school education and this lack of interest often results in failure among our pupils so that “Education For All” may truly become challenge moto in the school system. This moto poses a challenge for curriculum development in teacher education programmes which suggests revamping teacher education curriculum. // Now the question arises how do we accomplish this task?
