Curriculum for primary teacher education in North Bengal: A descriptive study

The quality of the teacher education program has a significant impact on the quality of education. The Education Commission (1966-66) emphasized the importance of teachers' competence, character, and quality in education. However, the quality of teacher education programs is deteriorating, and both pre-service and in-service educations are crucial for improving teachers' professionalism. To address this, many countries have implemented major reforms in policy, curriculum, pedagogical approaches, networking of training institutions, and the use of information and communication technology. Teacher education encompasses teaching skills, sound pedagogical theory, and professional skills, ensuring that individuals can effectively assume and discharge their responsibilities in the educational profession.
