In the 21st Century it’s the children that will
carry forward the traditions and contribute to the development of
society. All educationists today believe that 60-70% of the
knowledge
that a child acquires is during the age of 5-6 years. Though the mother
is a child’s first teacher, but once the child enters school it is the
real teachers who take over their education.

Thus it becomes very important to train the teachers. This training can
be divided into Montessori, kindergarten, nursery, secondary, higher
secondary and technical training. Expert training helps the teacher to
establish a direct rapport with the children’s budding personality.
Teachers training include courses like D.Ed., B.Ed. and M.Ed. which can
be done after a graduation in BA/B.Com/B.Sc. Tese courses can be full
time classroom, distance mode or even on-line in some cases.
Talking about Chennai, it is well known for its educational and research
institutions. Schools have affiliations ranging from the CBSE to
International Baccalaureate. Thus to maintain high standards of
education there is a constant flow of teaching jobs which leads to a
demand of qualified teachers with a Teachers Training Course
certification. The courses are designed to cover the theoretical as well
as the practical aspects of teaching with real life experiences which
equips the candidate t handle real life classroom problems. The modules
are well researched to look into problems and find solutions. Keeping
with the coming trends Computer Aided Learning is a requirement for all
the aspiring teachers.
