by NCTE, professional development of teacher
educators, curriculum framework , quality
control & quantity control by NCTE.
 Majority of participant responded against NCTE
for such news. Overall the participants were
not satisfied with functioning of NCTE.

11.  National council of teacher education (NCTE) was
established with a view to maintain and develop
teacher education in the country. No doubt some
major steps are appreciable in this directions e.g.
directing governments to conduct Teacher Eligibility
Test (TET),Directing institutions to get accredited
with NAAC, Monitoring demand and supply estimates
of teachers and teacher educators. Ensuring
transparency and reducing malpractices by
institutional website portals, teacher educator
portals. But the study conducted and opinion of
respondents shows that there need lot of
improvements in this direction. Respondents were
not satisfied specially in , professional development
of teacher educators, curriculum framework ,
quality control & quantity control by NCTE.

12.  Opening of new institutions shouldn’t be allowed now on
wards. Inspire of it quality and quantity of existing
institutions should be improved first.
 An entrance test should made be compulsory.
 Professional development of teacher educators should be
given due weight age. NCTE and affiliating universities
should take this matter seriously in the welfare of
teacher educators and direct Govt. and management
bodies running teacher education institutions strictly to
follow the norms and regulations.
 So in the light of above discussion it is clear that these
problems can be overcome through a systematic regular
check over functionaries linked with teacher educations
so that objectives of education can be achieved in reality.
 Thanks .
