Abstract:

                 The Indian government has pursued diverse approaches to teacher preparation since independence. Its four principal models—two that were government-driven and two that were private or non-governmental—were selected for comparison based on thorough historical research. Between them, the first included the frameworks of the All India Council for Teacher Education (AICTE) and the National Council for Teacher Education (NCTE). The second comprised the programmes of private institutions, those of non-governmental organisations (NGOs), and training under public-private partnerships (PPPs). The MHRD’s continuing emphasis on government-driven modalities for pre-service preparation outlined in the National Framework for Teacher Education, the NCTE’s integrated Minimum Standards and Accreditation Framework, and the State Curriculum Frameworks and Common Minimum Programme of the Centre for Education and Development in the second model remain prominent features within the collection (Singh Rajput, 2013). Under its models for in-service professional development, the Department of School Education and Literacy (DSEL) has sponsored the DIET Improvement Project and technology-enhanced and blended approaches (Kidwai et al., 2013).
