Taniya Shekhawat, Arun Aanand Soman
ABSTRACT:
This research paper explores the common challenges faced by school teachers and educators in India in their career path. Many reforms and developments have taken place in recent years in the field of educator training by the government of India. This study emphasizes how critical it is to regularly update and advance educator development methods in light of the rapid changes taking place in the educational sector of India and all over the world.
Through the insights collected from surveys and interviews, the study paper methodically investigates the potential areas of development. Both government and private institutions were considered to gain insights on the topic. Teachers, educators, and administrators of 3 governments and 2 private schools were interviewed accompanied by an online survey Insights showed how teachers and educators are trying different methods to cope with rapid changes and challenges in their career path.
After gathering perspectives from educators and teachers from different backgrounds and goals, results show that a growing number of educators experience burnout, low morale, lack of motivation, and an irresolute sense of purpose in their work. These difficulties frequently make them less effective in the classroom. Even after a good number of effective steps taken by the government of India to improve the Teacher development sector, there exists gaps in this field which have a very high potential for development in the advancing world.
There is a growing need to look up to different needs and goals of this sector as for the development and transformation of a big country like India we need to start from a micro level. Teachers are strong pillars of the education system of India, they can shape the future of the child as well as the country. Increased development opportunities in educator career development can increase the heights of education in India.
