** To empower teachers and faculty during through training, re-training, refresher and orientation programmes in generic skills, pedagogic skills, discipline specific content upgradation, ICT and technology enabled training and other appropriate interventions.

Outcomes

The proposed Mission will meet the challenges for the teacher education system arising from the massive expansion of education at all levels ranging from elementary, secondary, higher, technical and also vocational education and the consequent corresponding increase in the demand for teachers.

New Teacher education courses will be designed to meet the professional development needs of teachers and faculty so as to infuse innovation in pedagogy leading to better learning outcomes.

A variety of initiatives will be taken for the professional development of teacher educators, specifically creating conditions for them to participate in Refresher Courses and Fellowship Programmes and for curricular reform in teacher education.

A critical component will be to integrate elementary teacher education with the Higher Education by instituting Schools of Education and breaking the insularity of elementary teacher development and practices.
