As stated in National Education Policy, 2020 (NEP, 2020), regarding Teacher Education:-
“Teacher education is vital in creating a pool of school teachers that will shape the next generation. Teacher preparation is an activity that requires multidisciplinary perspectives and knowledge, formation of dispositions and values, and development of practice under the best mentors. Teachers must be grounded in Indian values, languages, knowledge, ethos, and traditions including tribal traditions, while also being well-versed in the latest advances in education and pedagogy.”
In promote the above mentioned Govt. Policy The Foundation School (Oxy-Town) is pleased to establish a Teacher’s Training Institute with the name and style of “The Foundation Teacher’s Training Institute” in the school premises at P-29, Oxy-Town, Kolkata-700 061.
