There exist the requirements for a child to adjust and change to the physiological and psychological reforms in different stages of growth. With the differences in age and environment, the learning concept of sex educations differs. Thus, children need proper and constant counselling and assistance regarding sex education (SHDH, 2010).
Sex education should be given as early as possible at home, school etc., the children as well as the student can initiate the correct ideas of sex, and the teachers and parents need to grasp the situation much more comfortable. The participation of the mother and father is equally essential in imparting sex education. Both a son and a daughter may acquire from their father how to be an amicable person and a daughter can be trained from her father what a man should do for his family and society, and further comprehend the trust or assumptions other have on a woman. Those who eventually reaps benefits are children who when they mature will understand how to act around people.

Meanwhile, another section of people suggests that sex education must be made compulsory to control the threat of sexual abuse amongst teenagers. At the age of maturity, students must be bared to such matters for their safety.
TEACHER EDUCATION IN INDIA:
In this era of rapid explosion of knowledge and advancements in the field of technology, quality education is a great concern for all of us today. Of all the factors that influence the quality of education, the quality of teachers is undoubtedly the most significant. The ability and attitude of teachers depend on the teacher education programme that is in operation.
In this context pre-service teacher education, which is a major part of Teacher Education, assumes great significance. Teacher education is, of course, at the base of all educational systems. The quality and teachers: The need for quality teacher education tailored to the needs of the education system has always been stressed by various commissions and committees appointed by the focal and state governments. The Secondary Education Commission (1953) stated that the specialized planning of teachers is a main consideration responsible for educational reconstruction at secondary level. The Education Commission (1964-66) emphasized that education defines the level of individuals' prosperity, wellbeing and insurance in a world focused on science and innovation and that a sound professional education program for teachers is necessary for the subjective improvement of education. There are roughly 5.98 lakh grade schools in India, 1.76 lakh grade schools and 98 thousand high/higher secondary schools in India, around 1300 simple educator education institutions, and almost 700 secondary and higher secondary teacher preparing schools/college offices. India has an expansive arrangement of education. Of the nation's roughly 4.52 million teachers, almost 3 million educate at the essential/rudimentary level. An enormous level of them are untrained or under-trained. There are also under-qualified teachers in some areas, including the North-East. The condition is not extremely promising as far as in-service education is concerned. It is reported that a normal of 40% of teachers go through in-service teacher training once during a five-year time span. Regarding non-formal education, however a number of models are stylish in various states in the nation, considerably more needs to be done to get ready teacher and other functionaries for the system.
B.ED. As a Training Programme:
According to NCTE‘s precise description B.Ed. is called Secondary Teacher Education course. This is the mandatory requirement which is mainly required for teaching at Secondary stage and also the B.Ed. programme is a special training course. At present the continuous and comprehensive evaluation (CCE) kind of training is giving for the student teacher. Nowadays it is again well-known as continuous and comprehensive assessment.

Now in the two year B.Ed. duration it is having a lot of time to train all the teaching skills and student teachers has to equip with more number of skills. In B.Ed. course in the state universities they are having six methodology subjects. The regional language will be one of the language methodology subjects. The in the curriculum. The various skills to teach the methodology subjects with dissimilar methods will be trained in two year B.Ed. curriculum. Hence two year program will helpful to the student teachers to take appropriate guidance and training from their teachers. Teacher education is an enduring effort; enlargement in information and skills continues right through a teacher's career.

Teacher educators also have a multiplicity of responsibilities. They teach a subject or pedagogy, and support students who do field work. In addition, teacher educators are more and more expected to develop and carry out courses for experienced teachers and to do research. It is hard to find a satisfying explanation of what a ‗teacher educator‘ is. Who defines a teacher educator as ‗a faculty member in a tenure track who had taught at least one required undergraduate professional education course during the preceding twelve months. A teacher educator is someone who teaches at a teacher training institution or supports students‘ field work in schools, and contributes substantially to the development of students towards becoming competent teachers. Hence, the teacher educators are everyone those who teach or prepare teachers with the aim of supporting their professional development.
Therefore, we can comprise everyone those who are in teacher training institutions, are responsible for teaching and coaching future, commencing and skilled teachers.
It is surely known that teacher capability, sensitivity and teacher inspiration mainly choose the quality and reach of student accomplishment. The National Council for Teacher Education has depicted instructor education as a program of education, examination and preparing for educators permit and enable the instructor to address and face the difficulties of the profession's requests. "As indicated by the Goods Dictionary of Education, educator education signifies "all formal and non-formal exercises and encounters that help to qualify a person to assume the responsibilities of an individual from the education profession or to satisfy their obligations all the more viably. Preparing is given to creatures and carnival entertainers, as W.H. Kilpatric put it right now, while education is for individuals." Teacher arranging requires showing capacity, sound instructive way of thinking, and concentrated aptitudes." Teacher Education = Teaching Skills + Pedagogical Theory + Professional Skills Teaching abilities will require the provision of instruction and practice in the various methods, approaches and tactics that would assist in improving and performing successful assessment. It involves effective administration skills in the classroom, arrangement and use of teaching materials and relational abilities.

The three phases are viewed as components of a continuous cycle. • Education for instructors depends on the theory that "Educators are made, not conceived" in contrary to the assumption, "Educators are conceived, not made". Since instructing is viewed as workmanship and science, information, yet in addition aptitudes called "exchange stunts" should be gained by the instructor. • Teacher education is expansive and far reaching. Despite the instructor preservation and in-administration programs, it is planned to partake in
proficiency and network improvement exercises. • It is continuously developing and complex. To design instructors who are equipped for meeting the difficulties of an amazing society, educator education needs to stay mindful of ongoing turns of events and patterns. • The center of the entire educator education measure lies in its educational plan, plan, structure, association and transaction modes, just as the level of its propriety. • Instructor preparing has been described by stage-explicit projects. This demonstrates that the information base is adequately particular and differentiated across stages, which should be utilized to create powerful preparation measures for the functions that an educator is relied upon to perform at each stage. • It is the place where it interdepends on its data sources, cycles and yields.
Attitude:
In actuality, perspectives are the projection of an emotionalized mental state. Mentality is a hidden character that goes into the reason for an assortment of conduct towards an article along with impacts. This word is gotten from the Latin "Aptus" world. On one side, it has the criticalness of wellness or connotes a subject or mental condition of adventure preparation. In various manners, mentalities have been characterized.

It would be said that a person who has related adverse emotions with a similar mental item disdains this article or has an towards an article or class of items, so perspectives can be expected to reflect conditions of need. Most definitions appear to concur that when confronted with specific upgrades, a demeanor is a condition of preparation, an inclination to act/respond with a particular goal in mind. Perspectives are strengthened by convictions (the intellectual component) and often pull in strong sentiments (the emotional component) that lead to explicit types of conduct (the action inclination component). Demeanor has many (positive and negative credits, a few perspectives are additionally suffering to others. Social analysts make a harsh distinction between these various levels for simplicity of comprehension, calling the most shallow one convictions, the following one mentalities, a more profound level qualities a still further level personality. There are relationships and examples of connections between these layers, these levels should not be considered as various layers of cake.
