GLOBAL13IZATION AND TEACHER 14EDUCATION

India has the second largest system of schooling in the world. About five
million school teachers are working in the country at different levels of schooling.
In India, not only in the school system but also in the social system as a Catalyst of
change and development throughout the present system of teacher education in our
country, one can say without any fear of contradiction that it is in deep crisis. It is
sad that in spite of appointing several commissions and committees by the
government we have failed to create teacher education programmes tailor made to
meet the needs of the present day society in India. At present we are confronted
with challenges of knowledge explosion, revolutionary, changes in information and
communication technology, value crisis, social religious conflicts and tension etc.
unless the future teachers are made sensitive to all these challenges. It is difficult
for anyone to survive as a teacher and play the role expected of him. The
phenomenon of globalization is considered as the most wide spread trend our
century has ever witnessed. So in this century teacher education faced it of
challenger in the content of Globalization.
