Only 46% of primary teachers in state have required teaching qualification: Report

Hindustan Times  

Mumbai: Only 46% of primary school teachers possess the appropriate Diploma in Education, Bachelor of Education, and Diploma in Elementary Education qualifications, data from the State of Teachers, Teaching, and Teacher Education Report 23 published by the Centre for Excellence in Teacher Education at the Tata Institute of Social Sciences reveals. While pointing out the shortage of teachers for art, music, and physical education, the report stated that there was an overall low provisioning of art, music, and physical education teachers, particularly in rural schools. A major point highlighted by the report is that over 50% of teachers work in private schools without written contracts, affecting the attractiveness of the teaching profession. The report also highlighted states with a relatively higher proportion of teachers without professional qualifications in urban areas, including Gujarat, Karnataka, Maharashtra and Telangana.
