National
Council for Teacher Education (NCTE)
Introduction:
The National Council for Teacher Education, in its
previous status since 1973, was an advisory body for the Central and State
Governments on all matters pertaining to teacher education, with its
Secretariat in the Department of Teacher Education of the National Council of
Educational Research and Training (NCERT). Despite its commendable work in the
academic fields, it could not perform essential regulatory functions, to ensure
maintenance of standards in teacher education and preventing proliferation of
substandard teacher education institutions. The National Policy on Education
(NPE), 1986 and the Programme of Action thereunder, envisaged a National
Council for Teacher Education with statutory status and necessary resources as
a first step for overhauling the system of teacher education.
The National Council for Teacher Education as a statutory
body came into existence in pursuance of the National Council for Teacher Education Act, 1993 (No. 73
of 1993) on the 17th August,1995.
Objective
The
main objective of the NCTE is to achieve planned and coordinated development of
the teacher education system throughout the country, the regulation and proper
maintenance of Norms and Standards in the teacher education system and for
matters connected therewith. The mandate given to the NCTE is very broad and
covers the whole gamut of teacher education programmes including research and
training of persons for equipping them to teach at pre-primary, primary,
secondary and senior secondary stages in schools, and non-formal education,
part-time education, adult education and distance (correspondence) education
courses.
