“A teacher can never truly teach unless he is still learning himself. A lamp can never lite another lamp unless it continues to burn its own flame. The teacher who has come to the end of his subject, who has no living traffic which is knowledge but merely repeats his lesson to his students can only load their mind. He cannot quicken them.”
Rabindranath Tagore
Education as an instrument of social change plays a crucial role not only in character building and personality development but also prepares the individual to face the challenges of life with determination and confidence. Education empowers a person at multiple levels. The role of a teacher is inculcating ethical values, scientific tamper and humanistic concern in the student is considered the most vital component of the whole process of education.
Gita Teachers’ Training College is one of the premier institutions of teacher education in the district of Birbhum, West Bengal running two years B.Ed and two years D. El. Ed course recognized by NCTE and affiliated to the University of Burdwan and West Bengal Board of Primary Education. It aims at producing well skilled efficient teachers. The motto of the college “We live for children” sums up the life of a teacher. Children are the future of the nation and a teacher has the responsibility of nurturing their talent, building their character and making them good citizens of the country.
I believe quality of a teacher depends on the quality of the teacher training programme they undergo. Our institution is providing both theory lessons and practical training adequately in the realm of teacher training programme as described by NCTE and the University of Burdwan as well as the West Bengal Board of Primary Education.
Faculty members of the college are highly dedicated having indomitable commitment towards achievement of mission and goal. The specious class rooms, high-tech laboratories, seminar and multipurpose hall and a well stacked library helps students to learn systematically and thoroughly.
I welcome young talented pupil teachers to avail the facilities and enjoy all benefits. I wish them a fruitful academic session.
