The role of Teachers in attaining Universal Elementary Education (UEE) has been accepted since the inception of our Republic. The Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education (RTE) Act, 2009, which represents the consequential legislation envisaged under Article 21-A, means that every child has a right to elementary education of satisfactory and equitable quality. It provides for the appointment of appropriately trained teachers, i.e. teachers with the requisite entry and academic qualifications.

Teacher education is all about Teacher Education Institutions preparing teachers who in turn teach, involving pupils in a student-driven classroom. Teacher education is more important today than it has been in the previous century.
