This book examines the unexplored dimensions in the teacher education sector in India. It engages with critical concerns and attempts to provide a comprehensive and holistic perspective on how governance and quality management are conceptualised, debated, developed, and implemented in the teacher education sector in India. Drawing arguments from research and contributions of academicians, the book explores four central themes of teacher education, namely, governance and management in teacher education, management of pre-service teacher education, quality management in teacher education, and financing and political economy of teacher education. It focuses on the current operational model, situational efficiency, and provides a comprehensive analysis of the various reforms and initiatives taken at theoretical and practical levels for the transformation of teacher education.
Presenting a focused overview of the critical dimensions of teacher education, and rich in empirical evidence, this book will be of interest to students, researchers, and teachers of education, sociology of education, urban education, politics of education, and educational studies. It will also be useful for teachers, teacher educators, academicians, scholars, and policymakers in the education sector.
