Chapter I

OVERVIEW OF THE MISSION

1. Introduction

The proposed Mission is envisaged to address comprehensively all issues related to

teachers, teaching, teacher preparation, their continuous professional development

and leadership development. The Mission addresses, on the one hand, current and

urgent issues such as supply of qualified teachers, attracting talent into teaching

profession and raising the quality of teaching in schools, colleges and at University

departments. On the other, it is also envisaged that the Teacher Mission would pursue

long term goal of building a strong professional cadre of teachers by setting

performance standards and creating top class institutional facilities for innovative

teaching and professional development of teachers.

The Mission would focus in a holistic manner dealing with the whole sector of education

without fragmenting the programmes based on levels and sectors as school, higher,

technical etc. It is considered that programmes dealing with teachers in all sectors and

levels of education should grow and function in tandem in a mutually supportive

manner. It will try to bridge the gap between teachers and teacher educators and

provide opportunities for teachers to become teacher educators.

The Pandit Madan Mohan Malaviya National Mission on Teachers and Teaching

(PMMMNMTT) is a Central Sector Scheme with All-India coverage incorporating Central

and State university schools/Faculty/ departments/ centers and colleges, CFIs,

Deemed to be Universities, Open Universities, Colleges of Education, DIETs, and

affiliated colleges. This scheme commenced in 2014-15, initially for a period of three

years i.e. from 2014-15 to 2016-17 during XII Plan and have been extended upto March

2020.

1.1 Goals

The Government of India is mandated to launch Pandit Madan Mohan Malaviya National

Mission on Teachers and Teaching with the following goals:

To ensure a coordinated approach so as to holistically address various

shortcomings relating to teachers and teaching across the educational spectrum

ranging from school education to higher education including technical education;

using the best international practices for excellence.

To create and strengthen the institutional mechanisms (Schools of Education,

Institutes of Academic Leadership and Education Management, Subject Based

Networks, Teaching-learning Centres, Faculty Develeopment Centers etc.) at the

Centre & in the States, for augmenting training and discipline-wise capacity

building of faculty and their periodic assessment for excellence.

10

To empower teachers and faculty through training, re-training, refresher and

orientation programmes in generic skills, pedagogic skills, discipline specific

content upgradation, ICT and technology enabled training (through MOOCs on

SWAYAM Platform) and other appropriate interventions as envisaged from time to

time.

1.2 Mission Strategies

The Mission goals are sought to be achieved through a combination of:

• Programmatic and scheme based interventions: pre-service & in- service

training through existing and new institutional structures, new academic

programmes & courses, strengthening post-graduate and doctoral

programmes, pre- scheduling year long training calendars, online training

through MOOCs on SAWYAM Platform;

• Project based activities: ICT based training, training of Mathematics,

Science, Language teachers for schools, core science & engineering courses in

technical education, general courses in social sciences, humanities and

vocational courses, continuous professional development activities and

leadership development.

1.3 Outcomes

The proposed Mission will meet the challenges for the teacher education system arising

from the massive expansion of education at all levels ranging from elementary,

secondary, higher, technical, vocational education and the consequent corresponding

increase in the demand for teachers. New Teacher Education courses will be designed

to meet the professional development needs of teachers and faculty, so as to infuse

innovation in pedagogy leading to better quality and learning outcomes. A variety of

initiatives will be taken for the professional development of teacher educators,

specifically creating conditions for them to participate in Refresher Courses and

Fellowship Programmes and for curricular reform in teacher education. A critical

component will be to integrate elementary teacher education with the Higher

Education by instituting Schools of Education and breaking the insularity of elementary

teacher development and practices.

1.2. Component-wise programmatic and financial norms

Component 1 : Schools of Education (30 Nos.)

Introduction

The Schools of Education will form the main backbone for integrated teacher

development across all sectors. It is proposed that each School of Education will have

an international mentoring partner so that it benefits from the global best practices and

thinking in teacher development. It is proposed to establish School of Education in the

Central, State Universities and Deemed to be Universities. It is proposed to establish

overall 30 Schools of education. School of Education will comprise of several

units/centres that would undertake in-depth work in specific areas that have remained

neglected in areas of elementary and secondary teacher and school education. These

committment of State Government for providing 40% funding is mandatory.

17

Component 2: Centres of Excellence in Science and Mathematics Education

(5 Nos.)

Introduction

The present system focuses only on increasing the quantum of teachers. It does not

focus on the pool of excellent teachers. There is acute dearth of high quality Science

and Mathematics teachers both at the level of school and colleges. Besides the research

in the field of Basic Science and Mathematics is far from satisfactory. There is the need

to promote excellence in Basic Science and Mathematics Education and increase the

pool of both teachers and researchers. To develop Science and Mathematics Education

and to increase the pool of teachers it is envisaged to develop 5 Centres of Excellence

in Science and Mathematics Education in the institutions of repute. The Centres of

Excellence will help the schools and colleges to improve their standards of science and

mathematics education in a highly competitive situation and may enable the nation to

emerge as a global leader in education.

Vision

To develop high quality science and mathematics teachers who are able to develop

themselves as role models as teachers and teacher educators in science and

mathematics in the competitive educational system and the diversified knowledge

requirements of the contemporary society.

Mission

• To accelerate science and mathematics education by way of promoting

independent, critical and creative thinking.

• To hand hold the scientific teaching community in facilitating teaching and

research for subject specific growth.

• To enable the development of skills engaging latest technological devices as

aids to teaching-learning process.

• To help teachers in capacity building for curriculum designing and scientific

assessment and evaluation.

• To develop innovative programmes that will strengthen the inclusive nature of

higher education by bringing the disadvantaged and marginalized sections of

the society.

Objectives

1. To excel in science and mathematics education in schools and colleges.

2. To create a pool of talented teachers in science and mathematics.

3. To develop innovative programme in science and mathematics.

4. To develop the capacity of science and mathematics teachers.

18

Implementation Design

Centres of Excellence in Science and Mathematics Education should conduct a

programme at the Bachelors and Postgraduate levels which should integrate the

professional specialization needed to be teachers/teacher educators. Besides, it should

run few short run courses for the development of curriculum and pedagogy in science

and mathematics. Research Cells can also be located within Centres to undertake

research on different aspects of teaching.

Specifically, Centres of Excellence in Science and Mathematics Education will incubate

and nurture, on a continuous basis, discipline-specific curricula, pedagogy, learning

materials (including e-content) for use by the schools and colleges and postgraduate

departments. Proposals for creation of such Centres should be invited from IISc, Homi

Bhabha Centre, TIFR and University / Colleges and Departments of Science and

Mathematics which have high reputation.

Financial norms

The estimated cost of capital/ infrastructure development per Centre is envisaged to be

Rs. 4.64 crore( subject to a ceiling of Rs.4.23 Crore for civil works). The recurring cost

for each Centre is Rs. 1.00 crore per year Component 3: Teaching Learning Centres (25 Nos.)

Introduction:

The present system focuses only on the domain (subject) knowledge of the teachers. It

does not focus on the importance of teaching-learning process, pedagogical content

and its various tools which are very vital to increase the quality of learning experience

in the different educational programmes. The focus on teaching-learning process will

engage teachers towards the student’s concern, attention and interest. This will make

the educational programme more meaningful and socially relevant. Proposed TLCs

assume importance in the context of learner centred approaches, ICT integrated

learning and recent researches in new pedagogic approaches to teaching and learning

in higher education. The curricular reforms in universities and colleges in the context of

interdisciplinarity and applied approaches to knowledge have become necessary. The

evaluation process needs to be made more scientific to encourage the development of

multiple skills of students. Indian universities suffer from poor ranking in global

scenario. An important reason for the poor ranking is the low capacity of teachers in

effective teaching - learning and research. TLCs will help the universities to improve

their ranking by performing better in a highly competitive situation and may enable the

nation to emerge as a global leader in education.

19

Vision

• To accelerate teaching-learning process by way of promoting independent,

critical and creative thinking.

• To hand hold the teaching community in facilitating research for subject specific

growth.

• To enable the development of skills engaging latest technological devices as

aids to teaching-learning process.

• To help faculty in capacity building for curriculum designing and scientific

assessment and evaluation.

• To develop innovative programmes that will strengthen the inclusive nature of

higher education by bringing the disadvantaged and marginalized sections of

the society.

Objectives

1. To develop discipline-specific curricular framework and evaluation methods for

incorporation into workshops and short-term professional development

programmes.

2. To outline and recommend pedagogy and schemes of assessment appropriate

for the curricular framework.

3. To develop learning materials, including textbooks and handbooks and to

organize their translation into regional languages.

4. To be the repositories of resources, including reference services and electronic

data bases, for promoting research on issues relating to teaching and learning

practices.

5. TLC should conduct a short run to medium run (3 weeks) and long run (3-6

months) rigorous pre-induction programs for the new-entrants.

Implementation Design

Specifically, TLCs will incubate and nurture, on a continuous basis, discipline-specific

curricula, pedagogy, learning materials (including e-content) for use by the colleges

and postgraduate departments. All possible attempts will be made to find out

alternatives to the existing paradigms i.e. paradigms of teaching, learning and

assessment. The TLC's will be set up at different levels such as Human Resource

Development Centres(HRDCs), University Schools / Faculty Departments / Centers and

Colleges. Research Cells can also be located within TLC's to undertake research on

different aspects of teaching.

20

Financial Norms

The capital /infrastructure development cost for setting up of each TLC is envisaged to

be Rs. 4.28 crore ( subject to a ceiling of Rs.3.90 Crore for civil works) during the entire

period of the Mission. The recurring cost for each centre is Rs. 1.10 crore per year

Component 4: Faculty Development Centres (20 Nos.)

Introduction:

Faculty development is an essential element of Institutional effectiveness. The extent

to which the institution supports faculty development will be strongly reflected in levels

of the engagement in learning activities, conduct of research and ultimately fulfilling

the objectives and goals of the university. Faculty who engage in professional

development experiences benefit also in terms of increased vitality, better informed in

terms of development taking in various spheres of education and allied fields,

innovations and scholarly learning. Moreover, faculty professional development

contributes to the effective use of emerging technologies and establishes a firm

foundation for the overall development of high quality programs and curricula. Faculty

development programmes include the four possible types of development: personal

(interpersonal skills, career development, and life planning issues); instructional

(course design and development, instructional technology); organizational (ways to

improve the institutional environment to better support teaching); and professional

(ways to support faculty members so that they fulfill their multiple roles of teaching,

research, and service). Faculty development has a critical role to play in promoting

academic excellence and innovation.

Vision

To inculcate among teachers the motivations to promote institutional effectives

through the development of personal, instructional, organizational and professional

growth of faculty.

Mission:

To promote organizational strategies for faculty development so as to incentivise

teachers to grow professionally and enable the institutions to grow.

• Faculty development is expected to result in improved teaching performance

and better learning outcomes for students and teachers.

• Promotes new ways of thinking about the student-teacher relationship and

increased commitment to educational scholarship.

• Developing all round skills are a prominent aspect for faculty development.

21

Objectives and Programmes

In general all the faculty members need to be provided the opportunities to participate

in professional development programmes in order to enrich their knowledge. It is felt

that opportunities to all the faculty members should be provided in attending:

a. Training Programmes

b. Seminars/Conferences

c. Internship Programmes Summer Schools

d. Exchange programmes

Implementation Design

Training programme during the probation can be planned so that the persons who

enter the university is sensitized of their roles and responsibilities in a college or

university. Faculty development centres should conduct a short run to medium run (3

weeks) and long run (3-6 months) rigorous pre-induction programs for the new-

entrants. Specifically, FDCs will incubate and nurture, on a continuous basis the

professional development of teachers and create opportunities for professional growth.

The FDC's will be set up at different levels such as Human Resource Development

Centres(HRDCs), university schools/Faculty departments/centers and colleges.

Financial Norms

The capital /infrastructure development cost for setting up of each FDC is envisaged to

be Rs. 4.28 crore ( subject to a ceiling of Rs.3.90 Crore for civil works) during the entire

period of the Mission. The recurring cost for each Centre is Rs. 1.10 crore per year.

Component 5 : Inter-University Centre for Teachers Education (IUCTE) (2

Nos.) Introduction

The UGC establishes autonomous Inter-University Centres within the university system

under Clause 12(ccc) of the UGC Act. The objectives for setting up these centres are:

• To provide common advanced centralized facilities/services for universities

which are not able to invest heavily in infrastructure and other inputs.

• To play a vital role in offering the best expertise in each field to teachers and

researchers across the country.

• To provide access for research and teaching community to the state-of-the-art

equipment and excellent library facilities which are comparable to international

standards.

Two Inter-University Centres for Teacher Education are proposed under National

22

teaching and learning approaches. Areas of innovation could be curriculum, pedagogy,

evaluation, integration of technology, promoting inclusion of marginalized sections,

innovations in funding, collaborations etc. Sometimes to carry out certain innovations

resource grant may be needed. To promote innovations the resource grant may be

needed before the innovations and sometimes the innovations after their success may

be recognized and awarded. Thus the proposed scheme will encourage innovations in

higher education.

Vision

Promotion of excellence by recognizing and rewarding innovations by teachers.

Mission

The programme will encourage innovations by the teachers throughout the higher

education community. The women's colleges, minority colleges, rural colleges’ teachers

efforts need the recognition at the institutional and the state level. The scheme will

search for the talents throughout the length and breadth of the country.

Component 7: Subject Networks for Curricular Renewal and Reforms

Introduction:

Subject-based Network is a voluntary association of a community of people in any given

specific discipline consisting of academicians, practitioners, research scholars, industry

and other cross-sections willing to cooperate in searching and sharing of knowledge

related to teaching, learning and research.

It will empower the teachers and researchers and help improve the quality of higher

education. It will function as an academic network by and for the stakeholders of higher

education for imparting and disseminating knowledge. Domain knowledge is the

bedrock of any learning system. The core of education is the content which has to be

transacted by the teacher to the learners. This domain knowledge is continuously

growing and evolving in all the disciplines through research. This growth has to be

factored in to realign the frontiers of knowledge. It is in this context that the subject

based networks was conceived to play a pivotal role in transcending the boundaries and

making the foundations more pervious and perfect. This network will connect the

professionals of various disciplines along with respective material for cross fertilization

of ideas which will create hybrid knowledge endowed with better genetic configuration.

This knowledge will be periodically updated, shared and disseminated for enrichment of

the disciplinary outcomes. Efforts will be made to cover the maximum number of

subjects.

28

Vision

To develop teachers who are able to enhance their potentials and push the frontiers of

knowledge through research, networking and sharing on disciplines and subjects for

global advantage.

Mission

• To strengthen the resource base for the teachers in higher education

• To build the pool of teachers who engage on the domain knowledge in higher

education.

• To develop an electronic network for the teachers and researchers in higher

education.

Objectives

• To create a database for all subjects in higher education.

• To develop subject related resources for teachers and professionals of higher

education.

i. Create a website and other appropriate tools to support information exchange

and dissemination.

ii. Produce an annual report on the state of innovation in its area of activity.

iii. Provide full information about the network's events and activities.

iv. Organize an annual meeting in the thematic area of the network. It can take the

form of an open seminar or conference encouraging collaboration with other

networks.

v. Take appropriate measures regarding the evaluation of the network's

performance.

Other important activities should include the following:

vi. Analyze the comparative teaching methods and experiment with new teaching

methods.

vii. Identify high quality teaching material and place it at the disposal of the

members of the network.

viii. Share practices related to semester system, choice based credit system and

continuous and comprehensive evaluation with a view to constantly improving

29

it.

ix. Help the members of the network on problems related to subjects and towards

finding common solutions.

x. Share research findings of the doctoral, postdoctoral research works and help

the newly inducted researchers, including those registered under Ph D program

in identifying references, formulating research design and helping in qualitative

and quantitative research methods to analyze the research findings.

xi. Subject based Network will network with another related subject based network

in order to promote interdisciplinarity and help in formulating new

interdisciplinary course design by an individual or institution.

xii. It will promote learner centeredness and discuss ways of optimizing learning

outcomes as well as adapting curricula to the needs of the society.

xiii. Subject based networks will help in developing ethics and value system on

aspects relating to teaching and research, and sensitize stakeholders to develop

organization culture.

xiv. Promoting synergies between teaching and research, notably by encouraging

higher education institutions to integrate research results in their teaching.

xv. Promote synergy between undergraduate teaching and post graduate teaching

and institutions.

xvi. Network will abstain from many other areas of controversy that surround

university politics and keep its focus on teaching and learning.

Implementation Strategy/ Design

Constitution of Subject Based Network (SBNW)

A professor, presently working or retired, can form an association of subject scholars,

not less than 50 members, who will be the members of the SBNW.

Financial norms

Funds available under this component may be utilized for setting up of electronic

equipment for video conferencing, portal development and other online support

equipment of human resources required for creation of a network. Discipline wise

scouting needs to be undertaken to identify the setting up of subject based network.

Selected institutions and universities will be provided with the grant money along with

the stipulated guidelines to establish these networks and showcase their subject

strength and ability to network in providing support.

A total provision of Rs.5.00 crore has been approved under this head by the EFC. Since

computer related hardware would be needed for SBW, a sum of Rs. 0.24 crore has been

30

estimated towards non-recurring costs.

Component 8: National Resource Centre for Education /Higher Education

Academy

Introduction

The upward mobility of faculty in higher education across nation depends on the

academic resources made available to them. This investment in human resource

enhances their capabilities and helps them function and discharge functions optimally.

The current state of resources available to teachers is abysmally low and skewed

leading to capping of the outcomes among the existing teaching faculty. Therefore,

there is a need to have large resource repository available to the entire teaching

community to strengthen their capabilities for the snowballing impact in the

development of the nation. The National Resource Centre for higher education will

provide database and identification protocol to all teachers engaged in higher

education. Further it will strengthen the capacity of faculty by providing cognitive and

penumbra support for all academic initiatives. It will be an electronic depository and will

provide a framework for coordination and convergence of all academic resources.

Vision

To develop teachers who are able to enhance their potentials and push the frontiers of

knowledge through research, networking and sharing of existing resources in the

competitive knowledge world.

Mission

• To strengthen the resource base for the teachers in higher education.

• To build the pool of teachers with UID available for higher education.

• To develop an electronic network for the teachers and researchers in higher

education.

Objectives

• To create a database for all teachers in higher education.

• To provide a Unique Identification Number to all teachers of higher education.

• To assemble all support material in electronic form for onward use.

• To disseminate material to all registered subscribers of higher education.

• To organize workshops, seminars and short term courses in higher education

Implementation Strategy

An apex Central level body may be invited to submit the proposal to set up the National

Resource Centre.

31

Financial norms

The capital / infrastructure development cost for setting up of the Centre is envisaged

to be Rs. 11.55 crore (subject to a ceiling of Rs.6.81 Crore for civil works) during the

entire period of the Mission while the recurring cost for each Centre is Rs. 15.90 crore

per year, (recurring costs include subscription to E- journals and E-books)

Component 9: Centres of Academic Leadership and Education Management

(5 Nos.)

Introduction

Training of academic leaders of vast number of institutions of higher education in the

country is a critical need, especially as these institutions have to augment their

functional competencies in areas of core and conventional activity, as also brace up to

the immense external challenges posed by a community of universities world-wide,

each aspiring to achieve a tangible status of competence, expressed to some extent in

measures of ranking, and more generally in the insistence on improving quality. At the

moment, there is no institutional practice for imparting training to academic leaders in

higher education, and the learning is mainly by doing, or by sporadic peer-exchanges.

The quantum of this challenge is evident as we see the expanded institutional provision

of higher education, as per the University Grants Commission Annual Report (year),--

we have over 600 Universities and 30,000 Colleges all over the country. The

unevenness of institutional quality—some being old universities with a historical legacy,

as compared to new institutions, or differences in provision by the Centre or state or

public or private, or sharply varying levels of functionality pose challenges for

customizing training to felt needs of institutions. Besides, institutions of higher

education are also differently socially embedded in India's vast plural landscape. It is

emergent therefore that academic leaders be oriented to the critical tasks they are to

perform, and made aware of the responsibilities their roles entail, as also the internal

and external challenges they need to handle while on the job.

Similarly, in the school sector improving the efficiency in the educational management

of academic administrators will go a long way to strengthen the effectiveness of

educational institutions at the school level. The teacher education institutions, such as,

DIETs, SCERTs are the important institutions of in-service training of educational

practitioners.

Vision

To develop educational managers who are able to coordinate the efforts of all

stakeholders in order to improve effectiveness of an organization.

32

Mission

The Mission is to set up institutions of national repute and standards, for leadership

development suited to school and higher education institutions.

Objectives

• To evolve a systematic programme on the training needs of top functionaries

and institutional heads such as Vice Chancellors, Pro-Vice Chancellors, Deans,

Heads of Post Graduate Departments, and Principals and Vice-Principals of

Colleges.

• To provide entry-level (pre-service) orientation training with a focus on requisite

functional proficiency and attitude orientation.

• To provide specialized area trainings in selected issues of critical relevance, and

specially with a view to enhancing institutional quality and innovation.

• To create a pool of academic managers in school education.

• To develop training resources for academic managers of DIETs, SCERTs, other

teacher education institutions.

Implementation Design

Proposals for setting up five Centres of Academic leadership and Educational

Management will be invited from the institutes of excellence engaged in leadership

training and educational management and selected on competitive basis.

Financial Norms

The capital /infrastructure development cost for setting up of each Centre is envisaged

to be Rs. 6.10 crore (subject to a ceiling of Rs.5.42 crore for civil works)during the

entire period of the Mission. The recurring cost for each Centre is Rs. 1.40 crore per

year.

NEW ACTIVITIES

Three new activities are also covered under the scheme which are mandated by the

Ministry. These are :

1. Induction training of newly recruited faculty in HE / Assistant Professors.

2. Leadership development programmes.

3. Online refresher programme through SWAYAM through discipline specific

National Resource Centres.

33

A. Induction Training Programme

1. The Induction Training Programme for training newly recruited faculty &

academic staff in Central and State Universities, Centrally Funded technical

Institutions, Degree & PG Degree colleges will familiarize them to their roles as

freshly inducted university teachers.

2. It will focus on teaching-learning process, pedagogical content and its various

tools and will orient them on various generic aspects of teaching learning,

instructional methodologies, assessment and evaluation techniques, ICT

enabled teaching-learning, SWAYAM and equip them with knowledge of

University rules and regulations, basics of governance and administration.

B. Leadership Development Programmes are of two types

I. Within India

1. The main goal of the leadership development training would be to equip Higher

Education leaders and administrators to competently and efficiently handle the

complex problems and leadership challenges that arise in the academic,

financial and administrative aspects of the functioning of their respective

institutions, so that they are able to lead and manage institutions of higher

learning in a more effective manner.

2. It will focus upon training of Vice-Chancellors, Directors, Deans, HoDs of Higher

Education , Registrars, Controller of Exams, Proctors, and other administrative

heads of Higher Education.

II. Three weeks with foreign training -Leadership for Academicians

Programme (LEAP)

1. Three weeks Leadership Development Programme for the second level

functionaries in centrally funded higher education institutions who are likely to

assume leadership positions in near future.

2. This Leadership Development Programme aims to equip Deans, Heads of the

departments and Directors of divisions/schools with the leadership skills

necessary for governance roles in academic institutions.

3. The training under this Leadership Development Programme includes two weeks

training within the country and one week foreign training. Potential trainees are

Professors having minimum experience of at least eight years with high

academic integrity and literary acumen.

34

4. The foreign Universities identified for the training will be within top 100 in the

standard global ranking

C. Annual Refresher Programme in Teaching (ARPIT) throgh National

Resource Centres

1. Annual Refresher Programme in Teaching (ARPIT), a major and unique initiative

of online professional development of 1.5 million higher education faculty using

the MOOCs platform SWAYAM. For implementing ARPIT, 75

discipline-specific National Resource Centres (NRCs) have been identified

in the first phase, which are tasked to prepare online training material with focus

on latest developments in the discipline, new & emerging trends, pedagogical

improvements and methodologies for transacting revised curriculum.

2. The NRCs were recommended in the meeting of Bureau Heads chaired by

Secretary (HE) on 5th April 2018, as there was no system of giving in-service

refresher training to the 1.5 million serving teachers in the higher education

institutions.

3. The major goal of NRCs is to provide annual refresher training programme to all

faculty in HE in an online mode using SWAYAM platform towards latest

developments in the subject, pedagogical improvements and methodologies for

transacting revisied curriculum.

4. The existing institutioins will be declared as National Resource Center (NRC) for

each discipline/subject depending upon their strength in the subject.

5. The training is meant for all serving teachers in higher education, irrespective of

their seniority, subject, management and orientation.

35
