Originally, the Government launched the Scheme of Restructuring
and Re-organisation of Teacher Education in 1987. The aim of this scheme was to
create a sound institutional infrastructure for pre-service and in-service
training of elementary and secondary school teachers and for provision of
academic resource support to elementary and secondary schools. The scheme had
the following components :
·
Setting up of District
Institutes of Education and Training (DIETs)
·
Strengthening of
Secondary Teachers Education Institutions into Colleges of Teacher Education
(CTEs) and Institutes of Advanced Study in Education (IASEs)
·
Strengthening of State
Councils of Educational Research and Training (SCERTs)
This scheme was revised under the Xth Plan, with the following
main objectives :
·
Speedy completion of
DIET/CTE/IASE/SCERT projects, which have been sanctioned but not completed up
to the end of the IX Plan period
·
Making DIETs, CTEs,
IASEs sanctioned (and SCERTs strengthened) upto the IX Plan period, optimally
functional and operational
·
Sanction and
implementation of fresh DIET/CTE/IASE/SCERT projects to the extent necessary
·
Improvement in the
quality of programmes being undertaken by DIETs, etc. – especially those of
pre-service and in-service training, so as to enable them to effectively play
their nodal role of improving quality of elementary and secondary education in
their respective jurisdiction, as measured in terms of levels of learner
achievement
