Abstract
The Diploma in Elementary Education course is
a two-year course devised by the State Council
of Educational Research and Training (SCERT)
to provide an opportunity of skill enhancement
and honing the level of expertise to the students
enrolled. The course was designed in such a way
so as to keep it at par with the level of training
imparted through the regular course.
Even with a different course structure, the diploma
students were provided a training which rendered
their skills equivalent to those enrolled in a regular
course. The trainees were required to attend classes
once a week, either on a Saturday or a Sunday,
where they were involved in teaching in a school as
part of the course. The trainees were therefore not
only coached and their skills upgraded, but were
also provided with an opportunity to get practical
experience. A balanced synthesis of instructions,
trainings and much-needed practical participation
enabled the trainees to hone their talents and
become well-qualified instructors, both technically
and practically.
