The Realm of Teacher Education
Teaching is a divine art. It has been sublimated by many honoured personalities around the world. The present-day education system challenges all existing patterns of knowledge. When a good teacher moulds a child to suit the needs of society, the system works accordingly. When a teacher adds love, dedication, and devotion to the job, it becomes a milestone to the realm of education — so a teacher is to be shaped with the help of its architect.
Hence, the teacher acquires the knowledge and the duty he or she is to perform in society in order to show the nature of teaching to the entire world.
“Let noble thoughts come to us from every side.”
