Looking at the current scenario in education, we find that India continues to face stern challenges. Education for all is yet to happen even after nearly 66 years of independence.
Though school education is a multidimensional phenomenon, the availability of quality teachers, their regularity and their effectiveness in quality learning process is fundamental to core education. A concern, therefore, arises; do we have quality teachers engaged in schools? According to Union HRD minister Kapil Sibal, there is a shortage of 12 lakh teachers in government
schools. The UNESCO Institute of Statistics 2010 report states that India will need 20 lakh new teachers by 2015.
Teaching as a career no longer seems to attract the younger generation. Mushrooming of private sector jobs with better pay packages is definitely the main reason.
Additionally, in Indian society it is not seen as a high-status profession. Mostly women opt for it due to their family circumstances. Lack of passion for teaching affects the learning outcome of students.
Education lays down the foundation for the future, nurtures the citizens of tomorrow. Here are a few things that need to be taken care of.
•Quality education ensuring gender equality needs to be taken care of, as opportunities, constraints and the impact of change affects both men and women.
•School curriculum for the K-12 segment needs to be updated to cater to the skills required for 21st century education.
•Teacher training courses need to be revitalised. Content improvement, technology-integrated delivery mechanism, assessments and monitoring of learning outcomes by the teachers should be part of the programme
•Digital divide emerging due to ICT in education needs to be bridged. Technology innovations should focus on catering to children in the lower socio-economic strata of society to keep pace with technological advances.
•Education for employ-ability has to be a priority.
