The National Council for Teacher Education has now been vested with statutory authority to take all such steps as it may think fit for ensuring planned and coordinated development of teacher education and for the determination and maintenance of standards of teacher education including preparation for pre-primary, primary, secondary and senior secondary stages of school education. The formulation of norms and standards for teacher education institutions preparing teachers and teacher educators for different levels of school education is essential for a variety of reasons. Norms will help existing institutions offering teacher education programmes, to compare the provisions in their institutions with norms of the NCTE and take necessary action to correct deficiencies, if any. Norms will also help in proper planning of new institutions, programmes and courses of teacher education.
