MEANING OF TEACHER EDUCATION
In the past arrangement of education, teacher was in the vital job. Yet, in the new methodology the student possesses the focal point of the education
framework. The requirements, interests, level, age and possibilities of the kid are considered. Presently the course of education isn't the method involved with contributing something to the head, yet drawing out from the youngster. Teachers survey the idea of the understudies, watch their regular advantages, energize potential in them and rouse them to draw out the most incredible in them. Teacher education is a Problems that is identified with the advancement of teacher capability and ability that would empower and enable the teacher to meet the necessities of the calling and face the difficulties in that. It is a notable saying that teacher is the country manufacturer According to Goods Dictionary of Education Teacher education implies, ―all the formal and non-formal exercises and encounters that assistance to qualify an individual to accept obligations of an individual from the educational calling or to release his obligations all the more viably. The American Commission on Teacher Education appropriately notices, "The nature of a country relies on the nature of its residents. The nature of its residents depends not only, however in basic measure upon the nature of their education, the nature of their education depends more than upon any single factor, upon the nature of their teacher."

MAIN CONCERN OF TEACHER EDUCATION:
A ton of preparation and assets has been spent for working on the nature of teacher education. New advances have been presented in the field of education; still our teacher-education couldn't ascend to the normal level. It is missing behind some place in understanding its motivation. Its extension has widened and its destinations have become engaged during the last 35 years, however teacher education couldn't understand its goal completely. The school ought to outfit understudies with appropriate information and abilities that should be seen as understanding the truth through close to home insight and passionate responses with the encompassing universe of articles and explicit circumstances (Yang, 2004). Developing proof exhibits that, among every educational asset, teacher's capacities are particularly basic supporters of understudy's learning and thusly the accomplishment of a country to progress in its monetary, social and political circles (Darling – Hammond, 2006). Significantly, the teacher education and preparing organizations should take that are required and as far as the school settings that should be made to permit teachers to create and utilize what they know for their understudies.
RISING MATTER OF TEACHER EDUCATION
Almost certainly that India faces today various problems relating to ignorance, destitution, joblessness, emergency of moral and otherworldly qualities. However, over the most recent couple of years each person, a parent, watchman, teacher, manager or country is worried about the issue of understudy distress is as under: The interest of understudies in exhibitions, strikes, parades, mass gatherings, walk outs, setting libraries ablaze, harming research centers and college properties, enjoying ragging like exercises nearby. These are the cross country issues arose out of understudies' agitation. Economic challenges: most of understudies come them can't accommodate their base necessities of life. Monetary torments have become because of the rising costs, propensities for squandering cash on extravagances. Understudies hold low maintenance occupations to pay for their educational costs and should split their consideration between a task and college profession. These are a portion of the reasons for understudies' agitation. It is extremely challenging to specify every one of the reasons for understudy distress as they cover a wide range of circles. • The understudy in current culture is including all the more seriously in friendly change. The cutting edge understudy is splitting away from the customs and limits, new culture and new reasoning – Gandhi-giri for Gandhi's way of thinking, Anna-giri for Anna Hajare's anticorruption mission is appearing on the grounds. • Glamour on the grounds reasonable or not for that reason our understudies are all set a limit. • The techno keen age of understudies has shown up and their expanded potential and yearning for techno based learning can't be ignored and hence, staying up with this new age students is arising as one of the main issues in Higher Education. • The idea of viable administration in Higher Education area should be totally developed to have the option to • The lackluster showing of the colleges in research-It has been seen that India shows helpless status in innovative work, research per million is only 194 which is extremely low contrasted with different nations. • Low use on Higher Education figures identified with use on advanced education isn't palatable. • Status of Higher Education in India Even however the Higher Education framework has many issues like: • Access to the advanced education framework is as yet limited to a little piece of the general public. • Low public consumption on Higher Education as level of GDP. • Large rustic metropolitan separation in access and • Shortage of staff and helpless framework • Are needed to be engaged in proposed activity plan in Higher Education in India.
CURRENT STATE OF EDUCATION:
India has a huge arrangement of education. There are almost 5.98 lakh grade schools, 76 lakh primary schools and 98 thousand high/higher optional schools in the country, around 1300 teacher education foundations for rudimentary teachers and almost 700 universities of education/college offices getting ready teachers for auxiliary and higher optional schools. Out of around 4.52 million teachers in the country almost 3 million are instructing at the essential/rudimentary level. A sizeable number of them are undeveloped or under-prepared. In specific areas, similar to the North-East, there are even uncle qualified teachers. All things considered the circumstance isn't extremely reassuring. In this situation it has been seen that teacher instructors are not expertly dedicated and generally speaking abilities of teachers come up short. The nature of preservice education has really given indications of weakening. This load of problems are firmly connected with expansion in unsatisfactory foundations of teacher education and there are various reports of gross misbehaviors; and the emotionally supportive network given by the State Councils of Educational Research and Training (SCERTs) and the University Departments of Education has been deficient and of the obligation of getting sorted out pre-administration and in-service programs as well as being the nodal asset habitats for rudimentary education at local level. In like manner, Colleges of Teacher Education (CTEs) and Institutions of Advanced Study in Education (TASEs) have been given the obligation of presenting developments in teacher education programs at the optional and higher auxiliary stages and in professional education. Albeit National Council for Teacher Education (NCTE) as a non-legal body has made a few strides as respects quality improvement in teacher education Its significant commitment was to get ready Teacher Education Curriculum Framework therefore; teacher education educational programs have seen many changes in teacher arrangement programs in different colleges and sheets in the country. During the last decade, new pushes have been presented because of fast changes in the educational, political, social and financial settings at the public and global levels. Educational plan recreation has likewise become basic in the light of some recognizable holes in teacher education.
Teacher education all things considered, is traditional in its temperament and reason. The joining of hypothesis and practice and ensuing curricular reaction to the prerequisites of the educational system actually stays insufficient. Teachers are ready in capabilities and abilities which don't really prepare them for turning out to be expertly powerful. Their experience with most recent educational improvements stays deficient. Coordinated and stimulatory learning encounters at whatever point accessible, once in a while add to upgrading teachers' abilities for self-coordinated deep rooted learning. The framework actually gets ready teachers who don't really turn out to be expertly able and submitted toward the finishing of starting teacher readiness programs. An enormous number of teacher preparing organizations don't try to do they say others should do. A few of the abilities obtained and techniques acquired are rarely rehearsed in real educational system. This features the need to get authenticity and dynamism the educational program.
