Mission and Vision
Every institute should have certain immediate and
certain future aims, to be termed respectively its basic mission and vision,
before it to let itself set in proper motion along the right track. The
Department of B. Ed, Acharya Jagadish Chandra Bose College, has also before it
certain chosen mission and vision. They can be stated as follows:
Mission:
i. Carrying the baton forward:
From its very inception in the year 1968 the Department is catering to the
societal need of providing it with the quality teachers, pedagogically skilled
and sound enough to deal with the rapid changes that have been taking place in
the field of education. The Department wants to carry the baton forward, as
handed over by the teaching luminaries who got attached with the Department in
its blooming phases.
ii. Equipping the student-teachers with necessary
skills: The basic difference between the students
of other disciplines and those of Teacher Education is that while the formers
are intended to learn the latter are to get trained, to acquire certain skills
regarding how to make the young students learn. The Department attends to this
aspect quite earnestly and sincerely and is also in a mission to carry it out
with proper pedagogical implications.
iii. Turning the student-teachers nationally
competitive: As shown since its very inception,
the Department wants to let the student-teachers roam freely in the larger
national arena of school education by making them pedagogically competitive
enough so that they can crack the Central TETs, along with the State TETs, with
ease and face the subsequent challenges in their right earnest.
iv. Imparting the student-teachers with a sense of
pride: One’s glorious history or tradition
makes one proud and that in turn acts as a motivating factor. The Department
has also a glorious past in the form of providing the state, nation and
international institutes with skilled teachers. The Department’s mission is to
hold out this rich history before the would-be student-teachers so that they
can inculcate a sense of attachment with the course itself as well as the
Department and the College in the larger context.
Vision:
i. Lessening the mismatch between demand-supply ratio:
The present mismatch between the demand
and supply of the trained teachers in West Bengal is really a matter of
concern. The efforts here are to lessen this mismatch even, if possible, by
increasing the number of intake in future, certainly by attending to the
infrastructural requirements in this regard.
ii. Lessening the mismatch between TEI and Teacher-trainor
Ratio: With the mushrooming of TEIs
there is a glaring deficiency of skilled teacher-trainors too. The concern of
the TEIs has not yet been addressed earnestly by the NCTE or the affiliating
universities. The Department intends to address this issue with the
introduction of Post Graduate Teacher Education Course in near future.
iii. Tapping the Integrated Courses in its right
perspective: Four years’ Integrated B.A.,
B.Ed/B. Sc., B.Ed or three years’ Integrated B.Ed, M.Ed courses are being run
by several TEIs in India. The Department, being one of the wings of a general
degree college, earnestly intends to tap this potential in near future so that
students of diverse aptitudes may move along according to their interest and
aptitude and get involved in the domain of education.
iv. Turning the Department/College to a premier
destination in the field of teacher education:
The Department can pride itself in the fact that the students of the highest
academic excellence throng here to take admission due to its continuous
excellent result and flexible approach to the course with maximum involvement
of the student-teachers. The Department wants to turn itself into one of the
premier educational destinations of India, if not of the world.
v. Contributing to the
nation-building: With the insertion of diverse contents in the
curriculum of TEIs, responding to the urge for sustaining the multicultural mores
of India, the Department intends to make the student-teachers internalize the
essence of the curriculum in its true spirit so that they can contribute to the
building of a nation that will sincerely cherish and nourish the four basic prerequisites
of a healthy nation, as stated in the Preamble of the Indian
Constitution—Justice, Liberty, Equality, Fraternity—for ensuring a sustainable
inclusive growth of a developing nation like India.
