Apparently, there is a apathy prevailed among the people towards teaching profession and teacher. Teaching is not yet considered a profession because it is poorly paid compare to others job (Doctors, Lawyer, Engineer, etc.) though six pay commissions has come into operation in many states. The basic thrust behind it may be also one cause that teachers are not well trained in schools. They do not know what to teach and how teach effectively. They have come in this profession by chance because they could not realize their ambitious dream. Since Kothari Commission has given the emphasis in the report that training of teachers demand our urgent need attention which enables teachers providing basic skills and competency to become a professional teacher. But so called District Institute of Education Training (DIETs) are not working properly who are meant for to hold the responsibility of pre-service and in-service training for teachers. This has to change, hopefully.
