New Delhi: Delhi Deputy Chief Minister and Education Minister Manish Sisodia said on Thursday that the government has decided to improve teachers’ training. According to him, the State Council of Educational Research and Training (SCERT) will focus more on improving teachers’ training in government schools.
“We have to prepare teachers who can inculcate an inquisitive habit in our children and empower them to ask questions in the classrooms. Only teachers can transform our society and we can only achieve this through teacher training,” Sisodia was quoted as saying by news agency IANS. The minister said this while addressing a meeting of SCERT and District Institute of Education and Training (DIET).
Sisodia also asserted that the SCERT has a crucial role to play in training the teachers. “A country’s advancement in education depends only on the efforts of its teachers. This is the case in countries that are lauded for their quality education and it is because those countries have focused on developing and training their teachers,” he stated.
“Delhi government’s teachers are availing UGC-scale pays. Delhi is the only state in this country where SCERT is given this scale and honour. The increase in SCERT from 509 posts to 1,295 posts and arranging the pay-scale and designation as per NCERT is also included,” the education minister added.
