Abstract

In-service teacher education is often discussed and various remedies are suggested to make this effective. In the present situation when the emphasis on quality is increasing it has become even more urgent to reach teachers with good in-service education. Recently a discussion on UNESCO managed site ‘Solution Exchange’ was initiated on this very pertinent issue1 . The initiators of this discussion see pre-service teacher education as a process that “prepared for the task ahead”; and in-service programmer, according to them are “to build on what pre-service programs do”. They also consider in-service teacher education as a major vehicle “to carry forward innovation and quality improvement in our school education system”. This opening of the discussion captures the spirit of general thinking and perspective on in-service teaching. In the first sight it also seems to be just right. And still one gets a feeling of discomfort with it, a feeling that something serious is a miss, some fact is not taken into account.
