HISTORY OF TEACHER EDUCATION IN INDIA, ANCIENT PERIOD, MUSLIM PERIOD

HISTORY OF TEACHER EDUCATION IN INDIA

ANCIENT PERIOD

In the ancient period so many students came to teacher that he could not fulfill his responsibilities towards them. Hence he used to seek the assistance of meritorious students of higher classes called “pattacharya” who assisted their teacher in teaching. If the teacher sometimes went out side, he used to entrust the whole work of teaching and school to such students.

As in the monitorial system, in this system meritorious students of the same class and some students of the higher classes assisted the teacher in the performance of teaching and other allied works, after having been thus trained these students used to become efficient teachers and school organizers.

MUSLIM PERIOD

The chief aim of the Muslim rulers in India was to propagate their religion. It is very difficult for them to have any idea of teacher education.
